LaTeXML Overview

LaTeXML is a comprehensive LaTeX to XML converter written by Bruce Miller for the DLMF project at NIST. The LaTeXML distribution consists of

• the latexml program, written in Perl, that attempts to faithfully mimic TeX's behaviour, but produces XML instead of dvi or PDF. The document model of the target XML makes explicit the model implied by LaTeX. The processing and model are both extensible; you can define the mapping between TeX constructs and the XML fragments to be created.
• A postprocessor, latexmlpost converts this XML into other formats such as HTML or XHTML, with options to convert the math into MathML or images.
• A set of LaTeXML bindings for commonly used LaTeX packages.

LaTeXML Development and Contributions

Bruce Miller follows a relatively closed development model where he controls all aspects of the development and code of the master branch to ensure quality. As many aspects of the system are intricately intertwined, this is a sensible approach.

Applying LaTeXML to Large Corpora

The arXMLiv Project at Jacobs University uses LaTeXML to transform various large LaTeX corpora to XML maintains a branch with experimental features and a set of experimental LaTeXML bindings that you can contribute to.
