TeXML is an XML vocabulary for TeX. The processor transforms the TeXML markup into the TeX markup, escaping special and out-of-encoding characters. The intended audience is developers who automatically generate [La]TeX or ConTeXt files.
Be the first to post a text review of TeXML: an XML syntax for TeX. Rate and review a project by clicking thumbs up or thumbs down in the right column.
Unfortunately, TeXML libraries doesn't provide a simple function like: s = tex_escape(s) The workaround is described in the developer's blog: http://uucode.com/blog/2008/10/17/escape-a-tex-string-in-python/
Due to a long period of inactivity in TeXML project, I've just been asked if the project is still supported. The answer is <b>yes</b>! I use TeXML in production, it's an important part of our new publishing process. Why the project is inactive? Because no bugs are reported for the version 2.0.1, released on 19 July 2006 (today is 10 April 2008). If it works well, why bother to change anything?
1) A paper about TeXML and Consodoc is published in TUGboat 28:1, 2007: http://tug.org/TUGboat/Contents/contents28-1.html Oleg Parashchenko TeXML: Resurrecting TeX in the XML world [Intermediate Plus -- transforming XML input syntax through TeX to PDF] A copy is available from http://xmlhack.ru/protva/tb88parashchenko.pdf 2) TeXML and Consodoc were presented as a poster at XML Prague 2007 conference http://www.xmlprague.cz/index.html A copy is available from http://xmlhack.ru/protva/prague07-texml-consodoc-poster.pdf
Conferences is a good way to promote TeXML. Recently I stumbled upon the following conferences: 1) O'Reilly Tools of Change for Publishing http://conferences.oreillynet.com/toc/ `` Just a few years ago, publishers could see that deep, tech-driven industry changes were around the corner. Today, those changes are upon us, and they demand our immediate attention. Some are evolutionary; others are so revolutionary that they'll transform the nature of publishing, perhaps even our essential understanding of how publishing works, who it serves, and how it succeeds. '' When and where: June 18 - 20, 2007 in San Jose, California. The submission deadline for all proposals is January 22, 2007. 2) ConTeXt user meeting http://context.aanhet.net/epen2007/index.htm When and where: March 24 and March 25 2007, Epen, The Netherlands. Unfortunately, I'm very far from California and don't know ConTeXt, therefore I can't visit the conferences. However, I encourage you to try them with TeXML-related topics.
