Right.. My suggestion was not how to replace TeX, but how best to convert TeX information into some sort of text-stream. My understanding is that Brian is trying to figure out how a CIF-object can have a rendering handler that outputs the content in another form. Instead of HTML, I proposed some form of vector graphics because it is similar to postscript output, but still organized and editable to some degree. So, I don't mean that SVG is better than TeX, but that SVG is a good "printout format" to deal with a variety of renderable entities. Joe Herbert J.
