The Amaya Web browser is useful for testing things with
MathML. Get it (and other info on MathML) here:

I used MathML for a while but gave up because it really inflates
you're content and requires some kind of MathML editor. I prefer to
script and edit things by hand, so I just use latex and latex2html.
Maxima has nice output for tex so you can convert the math markup
easily to web pages. I also use the WIMS document writer which
implements a nice markup language (and uses Maxima on the backend
for symbolic capabilities.)
