Sorry about the spam, but I figured out how to get simple trees from
qtree working (I much prefer it to xytree, but I thought only that
might work because of the xy library or something) Try a tree like
this:
\xymatrix{\text{\Tree[.S [.N This ] [.V is ] [.NP [.Det a ] [.N test ] ] ] } }

and then hit the convert to formula button. Yay! Doesn't work with
qtree, though, for some reason.
