Well, LaTeX is great for mathematical symbols. I have not seen a typesetting in the web space that can compare itself to LaTeX. This is why scientists from the exact sciences use it.

MathJax is routinely used for inserting equations into HTML documents [0]. A side benefit is that it uses LaTeX-like syntax for defining equations.

Static site generators like Sphinx, Hugo, and Jekyll have support for MathJax which allows for inline equations in Markdown/RsT docs. See a Sphinx example here [1].
