In most cases, MathBook XML is not more cumbersome than
LaTeX, particularly if you are using an editor which
automatically inserts closing tags. For example, in LaTeX
\section{...} starts a section, and you do not have to
explicitly indicate where the section ends. In MBX, you have
to supply the </section>.
MBX was designed to be written by human authors. Take a look
at the source of Judson's book!

I had a quick look, but I'm still a little bit confused
how the source are written. Do you write your source
files in xml or have you some kind of converter from a
latex source file?
MathBook XML is the "XML application" I am designing. It is a collection
of XML "tags" meant to be usable for an author: chapter, section,
theorem, example, exercise, etc. I have written converters to LaTeX (for
PDF, print) and to HTML. Other conversions are possible and planned.
It's main purpose is for authors creating new content.
XML? I wish pandoc (http://pandoc.org/) could handle conversions to and from
your format...
Do people really want to write XML by hand? I tried it once (GAP docs can be
prepared using XML) and was not amused.
Just wondering,
Dima
