+Some of the classes I TA use [Maple][].  (Caveat: I prefer [[Python]],
+as a more general language.  Use [[SymPy]] or [Sage][] if you need
+symbolic processing.)  Anyhow, I get Maple worksheets to grade.
+[[SSH]]ing into the department computer lab to fire up `xmaple` is a
+pain, so I wrote [[mw2txt.py]] to extract the Maple commands from the
+worksheet.  It benefits from the fact that worksheets are fairly clean
+XML.  Graphs and equations are more difficult, since they have
+complicated layout and are stored as encoded blobs.  Other than that,
+things work pretty well.  Here's the output from my [[example.mw]]
+example worksheet, picking out the math-mode sections (in red) and
+unprocessed blocks (in yellow) from the comments (uncolored).
