Announcement text given by the package's contributor:

Why is it quicker to express simple equations in plaintext than it is to 
write the equivalent LaTeX? EasyLatex is a preprocessor to make writing 
LaTeX much easier. 

EasyLatex accepts 'ASCII math' such as 

"The identity matrix is the matrix for which a_i
j = 1 when i = j, and 0 everywhere else; for example, in three dimensions, 
I = [1 0 0 ; 0 1 0 ; 0 0 1]."

and generates equivalent LaTeX source documents.
