I am sorry, but I am positively sure that you used a different
converter: eLyXer does not (and never did) convert equations to JPEG
images. It has always tried to do some CSS trickery to make them look
mostly good, but after a certain point it will not come out good. The
current status is usually shown in the Math showcase:
  http://www.nongnu.org/elyxer/math.html

As to macros, they should not be hard to support once I understand
them properly.

I will try to come up with something.
