Ok. 

[KFormula / Math]

uhmm... ^^°
MathType and MathML import both directly build the string
that
is later on is passed on to the parser.
Thus currently both of them are absolutely Math specific.

The already available documentation (aside from the help
system) is
http://documentation.openoffice.org/faqs/formula/inde
x.html
http://documentation.openoffice.org/HOW_
TO/formula/Formula_HowTo_1_0.pdf
http://documentation.openoffice.or
g/HOW_TO/formula/Formula_CommandRef0_4_1.pdf
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manual
s/oooauthors/MathObjects.pdf

Also I could provide a complete list of tokens the parser
knows of.
With the documentation above that should be a sufficient
start to get
knowing what Math can do.
