CTAN update: SemanTeX
A clean-up update that should not change much for the end user. The most important changes are: * The commands \NewObject, \NewVariableClass, \NewSimpleClass, and \NewSymbolClass now check whether the command name is already defined and, if so, issues an error. In casesomeone wants to override this behaviour, commands \DeclareObject, \DeclareVariableClass, \DeclareSimpleClass, and \DeclareSymbolClass have been added. * Some internal changes have been made which should allow issue-free use of active (and math active) characters as names of classes and objects. Previously, this was possible, but the system could not properly distinguish between <character> and \<character> as object or class names. * The deprecated class types Cohomology and Delimiter have now been removed. So has the key "degree default" which was defined to be equivalent to "sep d". * The stripsemantex ID markup commands have been changed from \SemantexIDcommand to \SemantexID. This has required some changes in the names of commands in the .semtex file. * A section 12.4 has been added which shows how to create a binary operator command that can also be applied to n elements.

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!
