An elisp script for converting LaTeX to ConTeXt in emacs

An elisp script for converting LaTeX to ConTeXt in emacs

[Michael Murphy]

Hi all,

one of the biggest drawbacks to writing my thesis in ConTeXt was that
much of the material had already been written in LaTeX, and I didn't
really want to have to go through by hand and change all the syntax.
Borne out this laziness was atoctx.el (which originally meant 'AMSTeX to
ConTeXt', but perhaps now should be called 'latoctx.el'). It's
essentially a set of macros that look through a document and tries to
convert lots of different LaTeX syntax to ConTeXt. At the moment, it
handles the following environments:

equation
gather
align
footnote
enumerate
figure

and the following macros

cite
emph

There are still bugs, and several more environments would be useful, but
if anyone thinks that it would be useful to them, then please go ahead
and use it. (Even better, if you'd like to help me write more of it,
drop me a line.)

I know that it's written in elisp which perhaps already excludes a
majority of people who don't use emacs, but I didn't have the patience
to write it in any other language.

Anyway, you can grab it at

cool
(I don't use latex but almost only emacs, so I like it.
I will study to adapt for my needs)

You can also theoretically convert LaTeX into ConTeXt using Pandoc,
though I've never tried.
