Hi Nathan,

<m>$STUFF$</m> puts the equation in in-line mode.  This is easier to
manipulate with html, like the center tag, but not as pretty because it
tries to stay all on one line.  \frac{a}{b} looks like a/b for example.

<m>$STUFF$</m> puts the equation in equation mode.  It automatically
centers in equation mode.  The only way I have found to force
left-justification is to put the math display inside of a one cell
table.  Maybe someone else has a better solution.  I find that I
especially have to use <table><tr><td><m>$STUFF$</m></td></tr></table> when using formulae inside of radio/option
response foils.
