Are there any plans to introduce content types for mathematical formulas and tabels? Both are quite non-trivial, but with them, ODA won't have a lot of chance in the scientific community. I don't know of any standard text format that supports tabels and formulas and TeX is the only de-facto standard used for this purpose at the moment by many scientists.

Formulas (mathematical, chemical) have been identified as a user requirement but there is no active work on it currently.
