\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[active,textmath,displaymath,tightpage]{preview}
\begin{document}
$8+2\sqrt{5}\over8$
$1\over1+\sqrt{5}$
\end{document}

run through LaTeX, run
dvips -E -i -Pwww

on the resulting DVI file, work with the resulting EPS files.  It might
be cute to integrate something like that into LilyPond like
preview-latex <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/preview-latex>
integrates it into Emacs editing, but that would end up to be a bunch of
work for somebody™.
