TeXML can't handle nested tabulars #328

Description

@djn-ams

This is not new, and is well known, but it's worth documenting: TeXML can't handle most kinds of nested tabular structures. For example,

\documentclass{amsart}

\begin{document}

\begin{tabular}{c}
\begin{array}{c}
X & Y
\end{array}
\end{tabular}

\end{document}

fails to compile with TeXML.

There are usually ways around this (most of the time it's formatting made to make the table fit the page in some way and is unneeded in the HTML), but there are instances where, e.g., a matrix is in a table cell. In these instances our only means of working around it is to extract the table as an SVG.
