CTAN update: SemanTeX
Version: 0.509 2021-07-24 : Makes a very fundamental change. From now on, when you output to a class or use commands like \<Class> or \UseClassInCommand\<Class>, you no longer render the data of the class itself (with the updated settings provided by you, e.g. where you change the symbol). Instead, you render an object called object_associated_to_class_<Class name> which is of class \<Class>. This seems to me a more natural way of solving things. There will be very little change in the user experience, though, apart from some error messages being formulated slightly differently. Version: 0.510 2021-07-24 : Corrected a bug introduced in the previous version. Version: 0.511 2021-07-25 : Corrected a new, minor error in the previous version (in fact, in a class type which is explicitly deprecated).

SemanTeX – Semantic, keyval-based mathematics
The SemanTeX package for LaTeX delivers a more semantic, systematized way of writing mathematics, compared to the classical math syntax in LaTeX. The system uses keyval syntax, and the user can define their own keys and customize the system down to the last detail. At the same time, care has been taken to make the syntax as simple, natural, practical, and lightweight as possible.
Furthermore, the package has a companion package, called stripsemantex, which allows you to completely strip your documents of SemanTeX markup to prepare them e.g. for publication.
The package is still in beta, but is considered feature-complete and more or less stable, so using it at this point should be safe. Still, suggestions, ideas, and bug reports are more than welcome!
