For now I suppose pictures and links will do, and then
in the future as soon as we can get it running we can
use the Perl interpreter mentioned earlier (I forget
its name or its author, whoops) which will do this all
for us. Just make sure the authors have MathML and
Latex to write them, and its no problem. This does
need to be sorted though because I'm sure the
scientific community will be one of the largest early
contributors.
