Could you give an example?

Well, if it is something which has been around for a while, calc could
do it --- something like converting between:
(1 + x) / sqrt(x)
{(1 + x) / \sqrt{x}}
\frac{1 + x}{\sqrt{x}}
1 + x

___
V x
and so on. Which, of course, is still pretty ugly...
Does this help?
Sven
PS: Installing calc on modern Emacsen requires a simple patch which
can be found somewhere hidden in the Emacs documentation...
