Section 4 Goals

  • Simple markup: sensible names and abbreviations, few attributes

  • No more complicated than \(\LaTeX\)

  • Excellent support for authors

  • Knowledge embedded in system (such as MathJax configuration)

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

  • Industrial-strength converters to popular formats (reference design)

All of this is possible with very few compromises
