The current official suggestion is to write them in xhtml, and resort
to using <m> only when mathematics needs to be shown.

This will put the least load on the machines, and should look good in
both locations.

Yes it would.

<table>
<tr><td><b> 

all convert well when printing..

You of course can do what ever works for you.


(0.6.0 will have significantly better printing facilities.)
