Here's a tabular with two p-cells:

Generalized Extensible LaTeX-Like MarkUp (GELLMU) is the name of my project that originated with the aim of building a bridge from traditional LaTeX to the new world of XML languages.

A p-cell may contain a list:

  1. bird

  2. cat

  3. dog

or a math display:
 INT_{partial D}[omega ]  =  INT_{D}[domega ] 
One of the ideas in my design for GELLMU is that with existing stable freely available SGML tools one may go to almost any presentation format. For the community of mathematicians and scientists, who have become accustomed to using TeX to create finely typeset documents for printing, this design provides a way automatically to create other carefully crafted forms from a single source document without over-burdening Donald Knuth's program TeX.
