lyx is there, in ports/print/lyx. given all the work it takes to
create what i'm thinking of, it makes sense to do it via the
keyboard. --and even then, you may not get it right for several
tries. i was thinking of simple things like, say, the integral
from 0 to pi dxdy; ormaybe the nth root of x-to-the-yth power.
then i saw how messy thing can get and i understand why no one has
done this before!
thanks, gents.
