HopTeX - Compiling HTML to LaTeX with CSS

This article presents HopTeX, a new application for authoring HTML and LTEX documents. The content of the document is either be expressed in HTML or in a blending of HTML and a dedicated wiki syntax, for the sake of conciseness and readability. The rendering of the document is expressed by a set of CSS rules. The main originality of HOPTEX is to consider LTEX as a new media type for HTML and to express the compilation from HTML to LTEX by the means of dedicated style sheet rules. HOPTEX can then be used to generate high quality documents for both paper printed version and electronic version. The online version of this paper is available at the HOPTEX web page. It can be read using a regular Web browser or using Smartphone browsers. HOPTEX is implemented in HOP, a multi-tier programming language for the Web 2.0. This implementation extensively relies on two facilities generally only available on the client-side that HOP also supports on the server-side of the application: DOM manipulations and CSS server-side resolutions. http://hop.inria.fr/hop/weblets/homepage?weblet=hoptex GNU General Public License
