Blahtex isn't in our technical specification, as well as mimetex. But both applications are really practical.
Blahtex supports a good subset of LaTeX math and can convert this to MathML. Currently it can only handle $x$ and [ x ], but someone could use Blahtex and the renderer in conjunction. So what Blahtex cannot convert to MathML, can be rendered. See also http://blahtex.org/.
Mimetex as you know, can render some LaTeX maths without the need of LaTeX, using only a cgi-bin. The disadvantages are: low rendering quality, can only support $x$ and [ x ]
The button request doesn't make much sense:
DruTeX uses many different environments (so many buttons?). The standard-math environment is $x$ and so easy to type, no button needed. In Wikipedia, the standard-math environment is enclosed between and , and is the only LaTeX environment.
Regarding our technical spec, I will commit some new plain-LaTeX-to-plain-HTML rules, and then about wednesday a first version of the pdf generator.
I believe the DruTeX project is not responsible for TinyMCE buttons. The TinyMCE project should supply special-purpose buttons since the interface between the two projects is defined by TinyMCE and not DruTeX.
The feature request may be valid, but it is misplaced.

deekayen, dfg (the student), and I have been communicating by email. I'll try to encourage them to use this venue more.
Ping
Daniel,
How are you doing?
I noticed a CVS commit regarding blahtex. Could you say more about how blahtex relates to DruTeX and our technical specification?
What are your thoughts about this TinyMCE button request?
Pong

That's also right :)
