But you can't write MathML, and XML in general has no macros, correct? It's horrible to contemplate writing in a language without macros. It's important to be able to write in a language that 1. has macros 2. conveys the semantic information needed for the target language. Latex itself falls short of 2, but comes closer than anything else I know. Do you know a better alternative? --Mark
