Sorry about that.  It requires the amssymb and/or amsmath LaTeX packages 
to render correctly.  Perhaps it is better to not require the LaTeX 
installation to have anything special though.  I think the best course 
of action is to just include pre-generated images in the documentation 
source for this.  I'll go ahead and do that.

Cheers,
Mike
