mathtex doesn't support "\begin{array}" ... "\end{array}"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

There are some examples in the MathML torture test that we can't pass
because we don't support "array".

This functionality will be significant work, so I would suggest waiting for
strong user need to implement this.

I did attempt implementing the split environment a couple of days ago. However, 
I
could not get the parser to recognise \begin{foo} (anything) \end{foo}. It 
appears as
if the tokens were being consumed elsewhere.

A discussion on the best way to implement the various environments LaTeX 
provides is
probably the best bet, and how to handle delimiters such as & and \\. A good 
solution
could save a lot of unnecessary duplication/re factoring later on.

I was wondering whether there has been any progress on this issue? Being able to
render matrices would be great.

I'm looking into latex rendering for sympy in reinteract [1], and mathtex looks 
like
the perfect candidate for the job. By using cairo rendering it will also allow 
for
high-quality printouts of sympy/reinteract worksheets, something that is not 
possible
(or very hard to get right) when having to work with images.
