Maybe as a Worg page, so the format would be org-mode:

* Table of special symbol macros

  | Symbol | Org      | HTML      | LaTeX    |
  |--------+----------+-----------+----------|
  | \vert  | ~\vert~  | ~&vert;~  | ~\vert~  |
  | \alpha | ~\alpha~ | ~&alpha;~ | ~\alpha~ |




Note that HTML and LaTeX are not always the same word, only sometimes.
In org-html-entities you can see this by looking at entries which
are a cons cell, for example

("star" . "*") means "\star" in LaTeX, and "*" in HTML.

I think many of these symbols have never been tried, so exporting
this document to HTML and to LaTeX will be an interesting exercise
and probably help us fix some bugs.

Thanks!
