Installation was straightforward: download source and run make. Needed to add bison and flex to get the make to work.
sudo apt-get install bison
sudo apt-get install flex
Need to put latex files in the build directory, which is not real user friendly. latex must be able to run successfully with the target .tex file.
- latex my.tex
- ./seed my.tex # semantically seeds a copy of your TeX source
- latex my.s.tex # tex semantically enriched source
- ./hermes my.s.dvi > my.lib.xml # parses the resulting semantic dvi
- xsltproc pub.xslt my.lib.xml > my.pub.xml # generates the XML reference document
- open my.pub.xml in FF or IE.
Pfiefer's content : 9 of the 33 .tex files can be latex-ed; all can be pdflatex-ed. These 9 all generated a xhtml (.xml) file. Most of the math looked correct, except for some symbols.
Rod Devore's content: 8 of 11 .tex files generated a xhtml (.xml) file. All of the math looked good.
Ray's content: The one .tex file did not generate a xhtml (.xml) file. We modified the .tex file to make it an article (no double column, no floating figures) and then hermes was able to process it. All of the math looked good.
hermes does not handle images. This is the same status we have with the undocumented Scientific Workplace import path.
The hermes generated MathML has many subscript and superscript problems.
