Dear Bernard, I was thinking more of the static HTML pages you sent that had been generated from TeX/LaTeX with your GIAC extensions (giac.tex). The mathematics on those pages might look better with MathJax and that would be an easier scenario to configure. For the calculator page you just

Some people may know that in German we generally spell nouns upper-case. Nonetheless, I am in favour of spelling the names in function names lower-case, because of a comment of some of my maths professors. He said that it is a great honour for a mathematician if his/her name is finally used
