Converting TeX to html using pandoc?

Converting TeX to html using pandoc?

Hi

I'm trying to convert a TeX file (prepared using TeX, not LaTeX) into html. 
However, i'm getting the following error:
Error at "source" (line 37, column 28):
unexpected "\n"
expecting "{" or "\\" 
\def\rule{\noalign{\hrule}}
I know that TeX isn't listed as a supported input format, but since LaTeX 
is a superset of TeX, I hope to get it to work. Does anyone have any 
suggestions on how I can do this (maybe converting from TeX into LaTeX) or 
whether it can be added as a supported format in a future update?
Thanks

Never dived in the pandoc code, but LaTeX is a _collection of macros_ over
TeX and since those macros are semantic, I fear the task won't be simple.

Right.  Pandoc interprets the LaTeX macros directly, not be converting
them into TeX primitives.  So you won't have much success converting
plain TeX.
