If you want to do it in markup, you'll need MathML. However, browser support is very limited.

Currently, the only major browser to support it is Firefox.

You can test whether your browser supports it in this jsfiddle (code borrowed from the Wikipedia article on MathML).

This site has what seems to be a pretty decent introduction to the syntax of MathML, if you aren't familiar with it.

You can use the MathJax javascript library. The Math stackexchange site uses it too.
