I should add that the @<em>at-syntax@</em>:
- is too HTML-specific (we need something that exports as good to
LaTeX as to HTML)
- and sometimes it isn't clear what to write. For instance if I want
to write [1] without being processed as a footnote (on a document with
footnotes on); something like @<span>[@</span>1@<span>]@</span> would
be too complex.
