I don't /believe/ amssymb requires amsmath.  I have been working on a
document where I wanted to use some of the stuff in amsmath (e.g.,
\text, align environment).  That document did /not/ parse, even though
amssymb *is* in the preamble of the exported file.  I looked, and the
preamble has amssymb, but not amsmath.

It would be *great* if someone could provide tutorial information that
would tell us:

1.  How do we configure a file so that it *can* use amsmath?
2.  What happens to the parallel HTML export if we use amsmath
constructs in an org file?

thanks!
