RE: Converting MathML to text (and TeX/LaTeX)

Hello

I've been running some tests with Vasil's code and found that with input MathML generated by blahTeX is can produce the always illegal construction "{\right)}^{2}".  For this reason I looked for and found the customisation that Paul referred to.  (A bit hard to find, and I didn't see how to get it without an 82Mb download.)
    http://www.activemath.org/downloads/activemath-1.0.1-src.tgz



Anyway, I'll be doing further work in this area and would be delighted if Vasil, Paul and anyone else who's interested would join me.  Most likely I'll do this by starting an open-source project on bitbucket.

With best regards


Jonathan
