Please don't overstate my views about proprietary software.
CAS is one area where I think that the concept of proprietary
software sometimes makes sense.  I have used such products,
and I even once wrote a pedagogical package for one.

After all, a comprehensive CAS is necessarily a very complicated
thing.

It's just that I do not want to think about using it as a substitute
for TeX.

Question: Am I correct that the WebEQ input language is just for
MathML segments?

Thanks.
