I'm glad to see discussion of what we want in the next releases. In
fact, I've been thinking of starting such a discussion myself. The
things on my list are:
Continue improving math codes;
Improve handling of tables;
Make it possible for styles to contain other styles. For example, the
tables style might contain list styles for each row.
What would you like to see?
Thanks,
John
