  Wait a minute.  The latest versions of many of these equation formatters,
notably Expressionist 2.0 and probably MathType, allow one to import and
export equations in TeX format.

  Both together are better than either alone.  You don't have to hassle with
a complicated syntax if your needs are simple, and if you need to tweak in a
way which only TeX provides, you have that option too.
