A very good, and those png could be "edited" the same way as they can
in texvc?

it is really a pity that there at least 3 programs floating around:
- Texvc
- Blatex
- Wikitex
To return to my original question, can blahtex easily deal with
numeration/references and labels?
Just from a pragmatic point of view, sites like
http://tosio.math.toronto.edu/wiki/index.php/Wave_equations
are very interested to include such a functionality.
I don't hope to start a flame war, but may be the authors of wikitex
and blahtex could outline the differences of features of their
programs?
Or does such a comparison already exit?
Thanks
