LaTeX rendering

[Bruce C. Miller]

Can anyone recommend a Perl/CGI script that will generate images
dynamically based upon and input LaTeX string? I would prefer one that
doesn't have a lot of dependencies, if possible. My only requirements
is that it supports foreground/background coloring and communative
diagrams.

Can it call tex?

Commutative diagrams are not that easy. Just consider that there are
quite some packages to draw them (I like Paul Taylor's for the UI, but
I blame its policy) and they generally require some work from a
graphics driver or an especially designed set of fonts. Anyway you may
check

And see how they did it.
