I don't know LaTeX but I read it was macro representation of TeX. I guess there's
more to it than that 'cuz from this page...

<http://inperc.com/wiki/index.php?title=Homology_classes>

... I grabbed this TeX expression, as outputted by MathJax...

r(t) = 
\begin{cases}
q(2t)    & \text{for }t \in [0,1/2], \\
p(2t-1)  & \text{for }t \in [1/2,1]. 
\end{cases}

... and I punched it into the convertor here...

<http://www.wiris.com/editor/demo/en/developers#mathml-latex>

... and I get:
"Error converting from MathML to LaTeX"

All the single line TeX examples seem to work OK.  I may hunt 
up some other online convertors to check if its just this one.
(I tried one but it, too, had issues).

I'm wondering how he'd do what he says with just Unicode.
