amstex vs amslatex differences about latexml HOT 4 CLOSED

For the Zentralblatt Math corpus, they use amstex (not amslatex as Bruce supplies it with latexml). So there are some macros that are not implemented e.g. \tag.

What should we do? We could define them locally in zbl.ltxml which calls the amxlatex suite. That would be a local solution.

A more general solution would be to do something for amstex directly but that seems a lot of work.

There is now an initial binding of amstex.tex in
the distribution, along with amsppt.sty which seems
to be the main "class" file.

It is probably rough; I just load the various ams latex styles.
Most are probably fine, but amsmath.sty defines a number of
environments. These may work when used in the amstex style
(eg \array ... \endarray), but there are probably issues with
respect to grouping, and unusual argument patterns in some cases.
Probably some of these will need to be re-implemented in amstex.tex
in the long run.

So, we'll need to keep an eye out for errors that appear...

BTW: Is there any news on dealing with ZBL ?
