I don't understand what the problem is. It is the other way round, we
start from TeX and replace it by easily parsed markup for conversion to
other formats; in our case ASCII text, HTML and Plain Old Documentation (.pod).

@[startlword]BLAH@[endlword] is an arbitrary (La)TeX named operator
(think \DeclareMathOperator), whose MathML translation would simply be
<mi>BLAH</mi>. Our primitive raw-to-HTML translator gphtml just discards
the markers => BLAH (no markup whatsoever).


The markup format is not documented because we never thought anybody
else would use it but I can provide a complete dictionnary if needed.
(In fact, I would rename some of these first.)

E.g
  startword -> operator with identically named HTML entity (&subset;, \subset)
  startbc   -> calligraphic letter (\mathcal, &Ascr;)
  startbi   -> blackboard bold letter (\mathbb, &Aopf;)
  startbg   -> fraktur font letter (\mathfrak, &Afr;)
  startbod  -> boldface (\textbf, <b></b>)
  startcode -> code sample (~ \texttt, <code></code>)
  startit   -> underline (\textit, <em></em>)
etc.

Cheers,

    K.B.
