Zpravodaj Československého sdružení uživatelů TeXu

Similarity:

Blahtex and Blahtexml are open-source tools for converting mathematical expressions written in the TeX syntax into MathML. This article focuses on a particular use case, where the source of a scientific document is written in XML and can be the input for a variety of output formats, ranging from LaTeX articles to documents in OpenDocument format to web pages. We show that Blahtexml can play a central role in such a context, where the author wishes to enter equations in the TeX syntax...

MathML-aware Article Conversion from LaTeX

Stamerjohanns, Heinrich, Ginev, Deyan, David, Catalin, Misev, Dimitar, Zamdzhiev, Vladimir, Kohlhase, Michael

Similarity:

Publishing in Mathematics and theoretical areas in Computer Science and Physics has been predominantly using TeX/LaTeX as a formatting language in the last two decades. This large corpus of born-digital material is both a boon — LaTeX is semi-semantic format where the source often contains indications of the author’s intentions — and a problem — TeX is Turing-complete and authors use this freedom to use thousands of styles and millions of user macros. Several tools have been developed...
