subparagraph is one of its severely deformed and brain-damaged at birth
heads. But XML is a step back in my view. Lately I find myself using plain
TeX and markdown more...
By the way, some years ago I tried to participate in an effort to write a
book in texmacs (www.texmacs.org). Time and time again one needed to edit
plain XML (or something XML-like, IIRC), to make it do the right thing...

sure, why is this bad to use the tex executable? Because it has to be done
on the fly in your browser? Well, I cannot care less -- perhaps someone
should develop a NaCL implementation of (La)TeX to be runnable in the
browser?
