--- Comment #8 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Indeed, my apologies. Bug 119449 would be better set a duplicate of bug 96208
-- done.

Issue in general with support Tex and LaTex syntax is that our "native" format
to control node composition is StarMath--but our storage media is ODF. As ODF
requires use of MathML, we strive to support MathML for import and export. We
annotate the XML of each MathML ODF Formula object with its StarMath
composition--and reparse that StarMath on reimport.

There is no specification for using TeX with ODF, so while we could probably
filter import the LaTeX syntax formula entries and could also hold them as
annotations--the same as the StarMath for reimport--we would never adopt TeX
for canvas layout.  TeX is treated to PostScript.

Filter based import of LaTex, and expanding the GUI to support LaTex syntax
entry is feasible. The first step for both is to ensure the MathML/StarMath can
correctly describe the additional symbology when recorded to ODF XML.
