[Blindmath] converting a textbook in LaTeX to MathML

[derek riemer]

Hi,

Macros allow a la tex author to write complicated things easily. For 
example, a rule to generate two things separated by a vertical line 
might be written like \vertLine{stuff on the left}{Stuff on the right.}. 
The latex angen would go through and replace those with the commands 
defined in the macro.
