Okay, I've played around a bit with my wiki and unicode. It is indeed the best option. Resized text looks nice, and for my purposes this works quite well. Inserting the unicode text is a bit of a pain, since right now I am copying and pasting the text... but I recently found that there are entity definitions, like ∉ which make this much easier to edit.
The only thing to do now, is to check how indentation is going to work, along with line numbering. I'll play with it a bit more, and I will see about sharing an example of a typeset algorithm here.

I've perused wikipedia a bit, and I really don't like how algorithms look there. The appeal of the use of LaTeX, is mostly for the use of boolean algebra and set theory symbols.... although sometimes other symbols like floor or ceiling would be highly useful.
Unicode does have those; see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_mathematical_operators_and_symbols
Actually, the floor and ceiling symbols appear to be in the "miscellaneous technical" block:
