As of r3815, you can do \AA in a mathtext expression.
It would be very easy to support both \angstrom and \AA, but in the
interests of trying to be as LaTeX-like as possible, I think we should
just do \AA, though IMHO \angstrom is easier to remember. I couldn't
find references anywhere to \angstrom being a real command in LaTeX (and
it doesn't work by default on my LaTeX installation when I tried it.)
But I may just not be Googling right. If you can find a reference, I'm
happy to make the one-line change to support it.
Cheers,
Mike
