Known Problems

Here are some of the problems of the current version:

Correctness and Efficiency

The translator cannot be guaranteed to perform as expected. Several aspects of the implementation need optimization and improvement. Apart from possible bugs the translator may place heavy demands on your resources.

Unrecognized Commands and Environments

Unrecognized commands are ignored and any arguments are left in the text. Unrecognized environments are passed to and the result is included in the document as one or more inlined images.

Cross-references

References in environments that are passed to for processing (e.g. a cite, or a ref command), are not processed correctly. label commands are handled correctly.

Order Sensitive Commands

Commands which affect global parameters during the translation, and are sensitive to the order in which they are processed may not be handled correctly. In particular, counter manipulation (e.g. newcounter, setcounter, stepcounter, etc) commands may cause problems.

Index

The translator generates its own index by saving the arguments of the index command. The contents of the theindex environment are ignored.

New Definitions

New definitions (newcommand, newenvironment, newtheorem and def), will not work as expected if they are defined more than once. Only the last definition will be used throughout the document.

Scope of declarations and environments

If the scope of a declaration or environment crosses section boundaries, then the output will not be as expected, because each section is processed independently.
