Example 1

    
...
<p>During article conversion, any items that are recognized
as math are translated into Te&chi;. This would include any
expression tagged specifically as a &ldquo;formula&rdquo; or
&ldquo;display formula,&rdquo; as well as any free-standing
expression that cannot be represented in HTML. These
expressions include radicals, fractions, and anything with
an overbar (other than accented characters). For example:
<disp-quote>
<p>&ldquo;<italic>x</italic> + <italic>y</italic> =
2<italic>z</italic>&rdquo; would not be recognized as a
math expression, but &ldquo;&lt;formula&gt;<italic>x</italic>
+ <italic>y</italic> = 2<italic>z</italic>&lt;/formula&gt;&rdquo;
would be.</p>

Than fly to others that we know not of?</preformat>
<attrib>William Shakespeare, Hamlet, Act III,
Scene IV</attrib>
</disp-quote>
<p>Shakespeare well understood the underpinning of
our society&rsquo;s tenacious need to cling to life:
the fear of death, the fear of the unknown.  Yes, we
acknowledge death is part of nature&rsquo;s cycle,
but even as we do so, we struggle ...</p>
