blahtexml [options] files...

This manual page documents briefly the blahtexml command.

blahtexml converts an equation given in a syntax close to TeX into MathML. Blahtexml is a simple extension of blahtex. In addition to the functionality of blahtex, blahtexml has XML processing in mind and is able to process a whole XML document into another XML document. Instead of converting only one formula at a time, blahtexml can convert all the formulas of the given XML file into MathML.

These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see the online documentation.

--help

Show summary of options.

--texvc-compatible-commands

Enables use of commands that are specific to texvc, but that are not standard TeX/LaTeX/AMS-LaTeX commands.

--print-error-messages

This will print out a list of all error IDs and corresponding messages that blahtex can possibly emit inside an <error> block.

These options control the MathML output of the blahtexml program.

--mathml

Enables MathML output.

--xmlin

This allows one to embed TeX equations in an existing MathML code, using a special notation. The equations are given as attributes (inline or block) in the http://gva.noekeon.org/blahtexml namespace. Whenever blahtexml meets such an equation, it expands it into the equivalent MathML code.

or the blahtexml manual.

--annotate-TeX

Produces TeX annotations in the MathML output.

--annotate-PNG

Produces PNG files and annotates the MathML output with the PNG file name.

The program is documented fully by the online manual available at: http://gva.noekeon.org/blahtexml
