0.1.4.1. Limits because of the Texinfo intermediate representation

We produce our on-line viewable GNU Info files by going through their Texinfo format. If something cannot be represented easily in Texinfo (which doesn't do things not easily representable in character-only ASCII), it ain't in our system. This leads to the following very notable shortcomings:

1. No graphics, pictures, or sound.
2. No fancy mathematical stuff of the sort TeX/LaTeX is so good at. Note: we would like to provide enough basic mathematical stuff so you aren't hamstrung by this restriction.
