Tables
TeXpider formats the tables into HTML tables. In most cases it is sufficient and is the best way. If your tables are too complex, it can also format them via TEX and merge into the document as graphics.
The examples in this sections are borrowed from the
AMSLATEX user guide. We included a paragraph of text preceding each example, just to show the flavor.
 Example 4.0.1 Notice that by default bold fonts come from the Bold Expanded series rather than the Bold series. A comparison of the bold Computer Modern fonts provided in standard distributions of TEX shows why:
 Bold Bold Expanded cmb10 cmbxsl8 cmbx5 cmbx9 cmbxsl10 cmbx6 cmbx10 cmbxti7 cmbx7 cmbx12 cmbxti10 cmbx8
 Example 4.0.2 Just for the sake of a comparison, the same table done as a gif:

 Example 4.0.3 When scaling up fonts to sizes larger than their original size, the best strategy normally is to follow a magstep progression rather than using exact point sizes:
 at 10.95pt instead of at 11pt at 12pt no change at 14.4pt instead of at 14pt at 17.28pt instead of at 17pt at 20.74pt instead of at 20pt at 24.88pt instead of at 25pt
 Example 4.0.4 The full list of math font commands in the amstex option is \mathrm, \bold, \cal, with the addition of \frak (Fraktur) and \Bbb (blackboard bold) if AMSFonts are available. Math italic, the default font for letters in math, also has a name, \mit, but this is never needed in ordinary use. Tables 4.1 and ?? give a comprehensive listing of font change commands for convenient reference.
