Keywords: Latex, XML, HTML, MathML, XSLT, PostScript, Pdf, stylesheet, formatting.
French keywords: Latex, XML, HTML, MathML, XSLT, PostScript, Pdf, feuilles de style, formatage.
In this document we describe Tralics, a LaTeX to XML translator, and its application to the Raweb. There are two parts: the first part describes the translator, the second part the tools required for the Raweb.
This document has different chapters; we shall describe first how TeX can read an XML file and convert it to Pdf; in effect, we shall describe the xmltex, fotex and mathml packages, written by D. Carlisle et S. Rahtz, with some minor bug corrections and additions. We show how style sheets can be used to convert the XML source into XSL/FO or HTML, or even XML. Finally, we shall explain the Raweb DTD.
The second version of this report contains an additional chapter that explains how to convert a Research Report or a PhD thesis in HTML using Tralics and an XML processor. The third version of this reports adds some additional comments.
Dans cet rapport nous décrivons le logiciel Tralics, un traducteur de LaTeX vers XML, et son application au Raweb. La première partie de ce document décrit le traducteur lui-même, et la deuxième partie explique tous les outils nécessaires pour exploiter les fichiers XML.
Ce document contient plusieurs chapitres: on expliquera d´abord comment TeX peut interpréter du XML et produire du Pdf; il s´agit des packages xmltex, fotex, mathml2, écrits par D. Carlisle et S. Rahtz, avec quelques corrections et ajouts. On expliquera comment des feuilles de style permettent de convertir le XML en XSL/FO ou HTML, ou même en XML. Finalement, on expliquera la DTD Raweb.
La version 2 de ce rapport contient un chapitre supplémentaire qui explique comment convertit un document de type rapport de recherche ou thèse en HTML grâce à Tralics et un processeur XML. La version 3 décrit des changements ultérieurs.
