LaTeX
LaTeX is a typesetting system that allows publishing with emphasis on content over layout. It is especially suited for generating complex mathematical formulas instead of formula editors in most office suites, as well as creating large publications. Google Docs supports basic functions of LaTeX. LaTeX plugins are available for GMail.
There is also MathML, a standard designed for web pages, but is not as widely adopted, currently being overshadowed by MathJax.
