QMath is a simple batch processor that produces an OMDoc file from a plain Unicode text document. In this aspect, its usage resembles TeX.

It works in many POSIX-style systems (tested on Linux and MacOS X), and in Windows with Cygwin.

Screenshots

These screenshots show Emacs 21 being used with "qmath-mode.el". (See the file README.EMACS in the source package for how to install it)

• Beginning of document.
• Metadata/extradata (Activemath). The last definition of "theorem" is in Japanese, but Emacs 21.1 can't display these characters without the MULE-UCS package. Emacs 20 with OC-Unicode shows it well.
• Unicode symbols.
