I have been contemplating writing special case latex macros
that supply unambiguous parsings of the input expressions,
such as
\integrate{0}{\infty}{\sin{x}}{x}
which are essentially just the Axiom input parameters
written in custom latex. This would allow direct generation
of both the Axiom input and the .dvi output.Tim On Mon, 2011-05-16 at 15:35 -0700, Arthur Ralfs wrote: > Eugene, > > I did the xhtml-mthml version of the book several years ago from the > latex/tex using regular expressions in emacs.
