Yes Jerzy, exactly. I wrote some Haskell code to create plots of binary relations and functions on the Cartesian plane, using GTK2HS (Cairo). I have to pretty print the math formulas used in these plots. Now I'm retyping the math formulas in Word, but being a really lazy programmer, I want to automate this task. 

So I wanted to write some code that renders math formulas (maybe using GTK, or to MathML; I must admit I don't know LaTex at all, sorry...), but since this feels like a lot of work to get right, I was wandering if it existed allready. 

Okay, I could have skipped all the above and just use Maple or whatever other tool, but I'm trying to use Haskell whenever possible, because I'm kind of addicated to it. Also I still feel a bit stuck in newbie land (although I think I'm approaching escape velocity ;-), so I grab every opportunity to practice in Haskell...

Thanks,
Peter
