Yes, I've seen that most of all is there already (even if I seem to have problems activating it ... how do you call the math symbol collection? How do you call the symbols? Trying \enablecollection[ams] and \symbol[varnothing] or \varnothing fails!).

I think that I will just strip (3) from the current module --never used it, don't know how to handle it. I will try to get something done with (2), but don't expect anything useful too soon --I'm trying to study pretty hard for the next couple of months. HH> I will clean up (2) code anyway (at least check it for things that can go HH> into math-ext instead of a module.) Yes. The problem in (2) is that I will have to understand LaTeX internals and how they are called, together with ConTeXt internals and how to call them, because unless I go the "reimplementation from stratch" way I will have to build some kind of emulation code.

MathML (like all XML) is overkill and only makes sense if an appropriate user interface (via editor or conversion) is build. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
