Subject: [comp.text.tex] Announce: LaTeX-related utility programs --- l2x, FLaTTeN

Archive-name: auto/comp.text.tex/Announce_LaTeX_related_utility_programs_l2x_FLaTTeN

    There are two programs that might be of interest to LaTeXers, namely
L2X and FLaTTeN. Both these programs are alpha versions.

    L2X is a C program that replaces LaTeX commands within a document by
user-defined text strings. Example uses include: removing all (La)TeX comments;
removing LaTeX commands and "pretty-printing" the ASCII source; replacing
LaTeX commands by SGML tags.

   FLaTTeN is a C program that reads in a LaTeX root file and outputs a single
file consisting of the root text and all the text from \included (and \input)
files, recursively.

    Source and manuals are available from the NIST SOLIS repository
Email and other access methods are available. To get instructions send Email to
nptserver@cme.nist.gov with "help" (without the quotes) as the body of 
the message.

Date: 30 May 1994 18:25:37 +0200
Organization: GMD-FOKUS, Hardenbergplatz 2, 10319 Berlin 12, Germany

Archive-Name: auto/comp.text/l2x-LaTeX-to-whatever-converter

A beta version (1.0) of l2x, a LaTeX parser frontend, is
available from ftp://gaia.cs.umass.edu/pub/hgschulz/.
(gzip'ed tar file). The conversion engine calls Tcl functions
for each LaTeX construction. Simple conversions to nroff ms
macros and HTML are provided as examples. Comments, enhancements,
etc. are appreciated.
