[Oberon] Reading LaTeX?

[eas lab]

Your 1st 2 lines of Greek arrived as email, as 1 byte per char,

    and the 3rd-Line seems to be LaTex:-
20 20 20 20 | 20 20 20 20 | 20 20 20 20 | 20 20 5C 70                \p

20 53 51 52 | 54 20 20 20 | 20 20 20 20 | 20 20 20 20   SQRT

Can anybody explain how my browser knows how to switch from rendering
ASCII, to Greek to LaTex ?
