Section 3 Goals

  • Simple markup: sensible names, abbreviations, few attributes

  • Excellent support for authors

  • Knowledge embedded in system (think MathJax configuration)

  • Flexibility through processing switches (e.g. numbering depth)

  • XSLT converters to \(\LaTeX\) and HTML (reference design)

  • Low-level routimes modularized

  • Readable \(\LaTeX\) output (insurance for the cautious)

All of this is possible with few compromises
