Subject: Re: [xsl] TeX to MathML by using XSLT From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2005 10:23:28 +0100 |
It'll be interesting to see what the folks on this list have to say about the problem. Hopefully someone will prove me wrong and point out some simple translation routines already written! Actually I did write some TeX to mathml translation in xslt1 (without any extensions, so it run run in mozilla/ie) however I really wouldn't recommend it (just matching brace groups {...{...}...} is an "interesting" challenge in XSLT.) There are several tex to mathml translators around now eg hermes is a relatively new and actively mantained one (which I must say I haven't tried myself but have seen demoed a couple of times) http://hermes.aei.mpg.de/workshop/ or the orccca one you mentioned, or tex4ht. and I'd look to using one of these if I was doing "on the fly" conversions. For the documents for which I originally did the translations we went a different route and changed the markup in the documents from xml-with-tex-fragments to xml-with-embedded-mathml, this was done using emacs, mostly. (Over several (wo)man years, since there several hundred thousand math expressions..), one output of that can be seen in our xhtml+mathml C library documentation: http://www.nag.co.uk/numeric/CL/CLdocumentation.asp David ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star.
