You could hack something around:

(define my-math '(concat "x" (rsup "2") "+y" (rsup "2") "=z" (rsup "2"))
(insert-object `(with "mode" "math" ,my-math))

Paste this in a Scheme session...

The problem with latex output is that there is currently no way I am
aware of to call the textm converter from Scheme.
