CTAN update: SemanTeX
A very big update, which elevates the package from an alpha to a beta. The package is now regarded as more or less stable. Apart from fixing more or less all known bugs and issues, and doing internal improvements, the updates adds the following features: * A companion package, called stripsemantex, which allows you to completely strip your document of SemanTeX markup, to prepare it e.g. for publication. * Full support for left indices via the companion package, leftindex. * All keys are now fully pre-digested for further optimizations. * A more or less complete manual, more than twice as long as the old one. The names of some important keys have been changed, including those for defining other keys, so old documents will have to be updated.

SemanTeX – Semantic, keyval-based mathematics
The SemanTeX package for LaTeX delivers a more semantic, systematized way of writing mathematics, compared to the classical math syntax in LaTeX. The system uses keyval syntax, and the user can define their own keys and customize the system down to the last detail. At the same time, care has been taken to make the syntax as simple, natural, practical, and lightweight as possible.
Furthermore, the package has a companion package, called stripsemantex, which allows you to completely strip your documents of SemanTeX markup to prepare them e.g. for publication.
The package is still in beta, but is considered feature-complete and more or less stable, so using it at this point should be safe. Still, suggestions, ideas, and bug reports are more than welcome!
