I don't understand this. The way which works is conversion from MathML to TeX. 
So your suggestion would be to use MathML as the source language. But this is 
obviously not what you suggest. I'm confused.

If you want to use a subset of TeX in Haddock comments, how would you render 
them on a webpage?
