plasTeX is a <a href="http://www.tug.org/">LaTeX</a>
document processing framework written entirely in
<a title="Go to the Python web site" href="http://www.python.org/">Python</a>.
It currently comes bundled with an <a href="http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/">XHTML</a>
renderer (including multiple themes), as well as a way to simply dump the document
to a generic form of <a href="http://www.w3.org/XML/">XML</a>.
Other renderers can be added as well and are planned for future releases.
</p>
<p>
Here is <a href="sample2e/sample2e.txt">an example LaTeX document</a>
converted to <a href="sample2e/">HTML</a> using plasTeX.
For reference, the <a href="sample2e/sample2e.pdf">PDF</a> version of
the document is also available.
</p>
<p>
plasTeX differs from other tools like
<a href="http://saftsack.fs.uni-bayreuth.de/~latex2ht/"
title="Go to the the LaTeX2HTML web site">LaTeX2HTML</a>,
<a href="http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~gurari/TeX4ht/mn.html"
title="Go to the TeX4ht web site">TeX4ht</a>,
<a href="http://hutchinson.belmont.ma.us/tth/"
title="Go to the TtH web site">TtH</a>, etc.
in that the parsing and rendering of the document are completely
separated. This separation makes it possible to render the document
in multiple output formats. It also allows the parser to create
a cleaner document object, so that the rendering process is easier.
</p>
<p>
Since the renderer has complete control over which pieces of the
document are rendered, it is possible that the resultant document
is structured quite differently than the input document. This object
actually allows you to traverse and edit the document tree.
</p>
<p>
The documentation for plasTeX is available in <a href="plastex/plastex.pdf">PDF</a>
and <a href="plastex/index.html">HTML format</a>.
Of course, the original document is written in LaTeX. The PDF version
was generated using pdflatex, and the HTML version was generated using
plasTeX.
</p>
<p>
The <a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=120835"
title="Go to the plasTeX file list page on SourceForge">latest release
with complete documentation</a> is always available on
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/plastex">SourceForge</a>.
