From pwilson@cme.nist.gov Mon Apr 10 14:49:45 1995 Article: 16951 of comp.archives From: pwilson@cme.nist.gov (Peter Wilson - MSD) Subject: [comp.text.tex] Announce: LaTeX-related utility programs --- l2x, FLaTTeN Date: Sat, 8 Apr 95 20:19:05 GMT-1:00 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.

(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. -- --- Henning Schulzrinne email: hgs@fokus.gmd.de GMD-Fokus phone: +49 30 25499 219 Hardenbergplatz 2 fax: +49 30 25499 202 D-10623 Berlin
