[Joris van der Hoeven <address@hidden>]

Not everything may be explained there, but please take a look at

    Help -> Manual -> Mathematical Formulas
    Section 9. Semantics of mathematical symbols
    Section 7. Semantic editing facilities

Most of the subtleties are not supported by TeX/LaTeX;
that is one of the reasons why TeX/LaTeX is inappropriate in my opinion.

Best wishes, --Joris
