Thanks for confirming. I also looked at how Sage does LaTeX and MathML,
and this is indeed how they do it. We only need someone now to build
structured TeXmacs Scheme expressions instead of LaTeX strings...

It is also possible to test whether an object has a LaTeX or MathML output.
In that case, a default option would be to have special markup for that and
ask TeXmacs to do the conversion.
