iTex2Img is cool. Could have used that on a project a while ago.
FYI - Sorry, we can't find "thornahawk.unitedti.org". Please check the spelling of the web address.
First link was fine though.

I showed that to a cow-orker just now, and he showed me this tool where you draw the symbol and it gives you the Tex.

I used things like this and LaTeX2html for years, and wasn't ever quite satisfied. Then I discovered that the world of web browsers has finally caught up, and now I think mathjax.org is the very best thing since sliced bread. Seriously, if you want/need to put math on the web you should check it out.

Prompted by this, I tried to look for a LaTeX to ASCII converter. First I found the following link, which doesn't do what I want, but could be useful to someone else. It takes mathematical formulas as plain text and renders them on webpages. Link: ASCIIMathML
The I discovered a tool to render equations from LaTeX-like markup into ASCII art, which was what I was after. This is something I've occasionally wanted to have, and it's nice to know one exists in case I ever need one again. Link: asciiTeX
(Note that these are something I've newly discovered. They seem good, but I have not tried to use them yet.)

Google also has an api as part of their chart API which will render TeX equations:

I was using that as a WP plugin for a while but it had some problem I can't remember. I should go back.
...this tool where you draw the symbol and it gives you the Tex.
That is awesome and awesomely useful, but....it can't find π. I've drawn it twice and it keeps finding Π. ...no wait, it got it on the third one. I had to draw it super-curvy.

This is real neat, as is i_am_joe's_spleen's link above. Thanks.

I'd recommend MathJax myself.
Btw, I've personally had the best luck doing file conversion by first using TeX4ht to produce an html/xhtml file, but you must usually repair that html file using perl scripts, xslt, etc., rewrite its css file, and some manual corrections.

I use the codecogs one a lot since that's the only one I've found that's quick and easy and spits out PDF.
