CTAN Update: SemanTeX
Apart from various bug fixes, there are quite a few changes: * Some keys have changed names (sorry about this, I promise it will not happen too often). More precisely, keys like supper, slower, supperleft, slowerleft, sd, and si have become sepupper, seplower, sepupperleft, seplowerleft, sepd, and sepi, etc. Similarly, cupper, clower, cupperleft, clowerleft, cd, and ci have become commaupper, commalower, commaupperleft, commalowerleft, commad, and commai. Similar changes apply to other keys using the s- and c- prefixes for separator and comma. These changes have been made to avoid awkward and confusing key names like "slower", "supper", and "cupper". Better change this now than annoy people later. * The key clone (previously an alias for copy) has been removed, so stick to copy from now on. * The definition of \SemantexBullet has been changed to make it compatible with changing math styles, based on code by egreg, see https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/564506/19809. It has also become slightly bigger. Furthermore, the definition has been moved entirely to the semtex package, which is now being loaded by SemanTeX. * The keys boolifTF (and its variants) will now raise an error if the boolean was not found; previously, it would run the false code instead. I think the new behaviour is more natural.

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!
