And then throw away the buggy tex output? And later redefine to )set
output tex on, because the old code is gone?

As I said, I don't insist on putting the new tex.spad into the new
release. I'd like to have access to a copy of the new axiom-wiki VM so
that can figure out how to make the new tex.spad work with it. Of
course, I don't want to do this on the running system.

Maybe some day the old axiom-wiki and the 5 years old underlying ubuntu
will just fall apart. I guess, one would have to upgrade at least some
of the latex packages, but that might lead to yet unknown problems
elsewhere. Unfortunately upgrading plone probably leads to not having
zwiki anymore, but that's a prerequisite for the axiom-wiki. I don't
think, I will spend a lot of time on maintaining axiom-wiki.

Wow. Impressive.

How is mathaction working? Latex enviroment -> dvi -> ps -> png? What is
the procedure?

Let me go through the list...

usc and utf8x: why is ucs needed? is'nt utf8 (no x) enough?

bbm, mathrsfs: really used anywhere?

pstricks: there are such tricks on axiom-wiki?

pst-grad,pst-plot: is this necessary for fricas-generated picS? Or where?

\textalpha .. \textOmega: no problem

xy: which page uses that?

amsmath .. amsthm: not problematic

graphviz: no idea
sagetex: Oh... I stop here. That's probably including a lot of other stuff.

Please first tell me how mathaction processes a page.
To me it would look much better to create separate files for each

  \begin{axiom} ... \end{axiom}
  \begin{sage} .. \end{sage}

environment separately and then only have the packages preloaded that
apply to those environments and not one big style file (like this
LatexTemplate for *all* the environments. But it seems that is currently
not done this way.
