[Zope] Anyone Working on an Equation Display Mechanism for Zope?

[Jeff Rush]

Is anyone developing a way to display mathematical equations
on a Zope-base web site?  I'm wishing for something along the
lines of an eqn->troff->ghostscript->gif_tile pipeline.  It'd be
neat if there were a ZEquation product that took a blob of
equation text and when used in a link, provided a GIF tile
of the equation neatly laid out.

I can't expect the Zope engine to fork off a whole series
of special tools in a timely fashion, so maybe a background
process could scan the ZODB and insert the GIFs in some
form of folder cache, using the timestamp of the ZEquation
instance and a timestamp on the GIF cached item.

Ideas?  An easier way?
