Doug, I’ll give my limited take on what the style files can do and let the experts fill in the gaps.
A style file can be used to rewrite tags as far as I understand. This can be done in a way that differentiates between renderings (web, tex, …) . The style file code below displays the title, duedate and weight for all problems to which this style is applied. It replaces the <problem> tag with the information shown. I have no idea if you can get away with inserting raw tex in the tex rendering, but I doubt it. The only way I can possibly think to do this is to redefine the foil tag with a deprecated font tag or div tucked in. (I can see Gerd and Stuart cringing already).
