New concept.... :-) Of course, it has. :-) If not, than how can one get LaTeX to have syntax? BTW, what common external' parsers of LaTeX files do exist? I know, e.g., LaTeX2html. But it is very doubtful that LaTeX2html is able to correctly use the semantics of all canonical' LaTeX commands, such as \Declare* ones. -- With best regards,                    Vladimir.
