The latex-like interpreter is mainly intended for simple things like 
superscripts in units, or subscripts in variables, etc. Any improvements 
to the interpreter would be welcomed, however.

I can't see an easy way of getting full latex. You could use an 
installed latex system to do any conversion, but that would add a big 
dependency for the general case, so it would have to be optional. I'd 
also need to do some sort of vector translation of the latex output, 
unless we just use bitmaps, which might require ghostscript or something 
like that.

There is an existing Qt mathml widget I could add, but this doesn't do 
latex. Does anyone know of a small, free, C/C++/Python latex to mathml 
converter?
