+GladTeX is a preprocessor that enables the use of LaTeX maths within HTML
+files. The maths, embedded in <EQ>...</EQ> tags, as if within \(..\) in
+LaTeX (or $...$ in TeX), is fed through latex and replaced by images.
+
+Additionally all images get an alt-tag for alternative texts that contains
+the LaTeX-equivalent of the image. This is handy for text-mode browsers or
+blind people.
+
+* GladTeX supports caching of formulas in order to enable incremental
+ document editing or simply to share formulas across web pages.
+
+* GladTeX can be used with Pandoc in order to convert MarkDown to HTML with
+ LaTeX formulas.
+
+* It also contains a library GleeTeX to custom tailor the generation and
+ conversion process to your needs and to embedd it into your (web)
+ application.
+
+* It allows the usage of umlauts and other non-ASCII characters within
+ formulas, by replacing these characters through LaTeX sequences.
+
+* It is cross-platform, written in Python.
+
+* Its source code is documented and tested.
