LaTeX is something of a misnomer in publishing in the 21st century. On the one hand a language to render and position text on a printed page is solving a problem which is largely solved today - but the markup of equations and mathematical symbols is rarely bettered.
Given a large corpus of existing material is already in LaTeX, then this development from Springer [disclaimer: Springer own BioMed Central and PhysMath Central] could be potentially enlightening for those whose work can be expressed in equations. A LaTeX search engine finds equations or part-equations across all of Springer's published articles. Very useful for finding a particular approach to solving some engineering problem, say, has already been described in the mathematical literature.
Check the example searches and give your own a whirl.
