You say "starting with pure tex," does this mean that if you start with Context, then tex4ht is not an option? Secondly, since I teach mathematics, anything I write is going to contain a *lot* of mathematics and a lot of figures (graphs, etc). Is XML and MATHML going to be painful in this case? How can I get started with a small project or example, so I can determine how to proceed? I think I can look at the latex followed by tex4ht direction myself, but I could use some help with the second method, xml t= o pdf via context and xml to html via xst. I really have no idea how to proceed with this direction. I could use some pointers, or even a small example, with math code and a metapost graph or two. > Matthias Weber wrote: >> I am afraid your question is to vague to be answerable. >> >> Hence here are two pieces of information that might or might not be >> useful: >> >> >> i) Mathematica 5.1 can convert TeX to MathML, at least >> to some extent.
