I think the people who have responded to my comment read too much into it. Nowhere do I think I asked Georg to write an equation typesetter to include in the Python documentation toolchain. I asked that math capability be considered. I have no idea what tools he used to build his new documentation set. I only briefly glanced at a couple of the output pages. I think what he has done is marvelous. However, I don't think the door should be shut on equation display. Is there a route to it based on the tools Georg is using?

I don't think anything in the world can replace TeX for math typesetting. So if math typesetting was a requirement (which it should not be, for that very reason), then we could not consider anything but TeX.

Regards, Martin
