It might be a stretch to fit this into the Sage NoteBook but the MathDox formula editor
http://www.mathdox.org/formulaeditor/ might be a good starting point. The intermediate format produced by the formula editor is actually OpenMath and in principle OpenMath was designed for just this sort of purpose. Apparently MathDox itself http://www.mathdox.org already has some support for Mathematica, Maxima and GAP. Regards, Bill Page. On Fri, May 22, 2009 at 1:52 PM, Serge A.
