latexdiff is a Perl script, which compares two latex files and marks up significant differences between them (i.e. a diff for latex files). Various options are available for visual markup using standard latex packages such as "color.sty". Changes not directly affecting visible text, for example in formatting commands, are still marked in the latex source.

plasTeX is a LaTeX document processing framework written entirely in Python. It currently comes bundled with an XHTML renderer (including multiple themes), as well as a way to simply dump the document to a generic form of XML. Other renderers can be added as well and are planned for future releases.

Your BibTeX resource Here you will find everything you need to know about BibTeX The word ,,BibTeX'' stands for a tool and a file format which are used to describe and process lists of references, mostly in conjunction with LaTeX documents. Here you can learn about the BibTeX File Format, How to use BibTeX and BibTeX Tools which can help you to ease your BibTeX usage. NEW: Be sure to try the Bib2x Online Converter which allows you to convert your BibTeX bibliographies into a few target formats. It is meant to serve as a demonstration of Bib2x, a tool that allows arbitrary conversion of BibTeX bibliographies using templates.

biblatex Bibliographies in LaTeX using BibTeX for sorting only. The biblatex package is a complete reimplementation of the bibliographic facilities provided by LaTeX in conjunction with BibTeX. It redesigns the way in which LaTeX interacts with BibTeX at a fairly fundamental level. With biblatex, BibTeX is only used to sort the bibliography and to generate labels. Instead of being implemented in BibTeX's style files, the formatting of the bibliography is entirely controlled by TeX macros. Good working knowledge in LaTeX should be sufficient to design new bibliography and citation styles — there is no need to learn BibTeX’s postfix stack language. Just like the bibliography styles, all citation commands may be freely (re)defined. The package needs e-TeX, and uses the author’s etoolbox package. Apart from the features unique to biblatex, the package also incorporates core features of the following packages: babelbib, bibtopic, bibunits, chapterbib, cite, inlinebib, mlbib, multibib, splitbib. There are also some conceptual parallels to the natbib and amsrefs packages. The biblatex package supports split bibliographies, multiple bibliographies within one document, and separate lists of bibliographic shorthands. Bibliographies may be subdivided into parts (by chapter, by section, etc.) and/or segmented by topics (by type, by keyword, etc.). The package is fully localized and can interface with the babel package. The author is Philipp Lehman. The package is Copyright © 2006-2007 Philipp Lehman.

BibDesk is a bibliographic reference manager for Mac OS X. BibDesk is designed to help organize and use bibliographic databases in BibTeX .bib format. In addition to manual typing, BibDesk lets you drag & drop or cut & paste .bib files into the bibliographic database and automatically opens files downloaded from PubMed. BibDesk also keeps track of electronic copies of literature on your computer and allows for searching your database through several keys. BibDesk integrates well with TeX for creating citations and bibliographies. This integration includes a Citation search completion service, and drag & drop (cut & paste) support for adding citations to TeX files.

##maintainer_type: organization ##subjects: math ##page_type: software ##date: Mon Apr 30 07:09:22 PDT 2007 ##editor: Jim Pitman ##description: latexml is a program, written in Perl, that attempts to faithfully mimic TeX's behaviour, but produces XML instead of dvi. The document model of the target XML makes explicit the model implied by LaTeX. The processing and model are both extensible; you can define the mapping between TeX constructs and the XML fragments to be created. A postprocessor, latexmlpost converts this XML into other formats such as HTML or XHTML, with options to convert the math into MathML (currently only presentation) or images.

REVTeX 4 is a set of macro packages designed to be used with LaTeX 2e. REVTeX is well-suited for preparing manuscripts for submission to APS journals. The following design principles pertain to REVTeX 4: * REVTeX 4 is fully compatible with LaTeX2e. * Relaxed restrictions when used to directly typeset journals; * Relies on standard LaTeX2e packages for common tasks. Examples are graphics/graphicx, color, hyperref, longtable etc; * Emphasizes creating macros to make translation to XML easier; * Provides better support for achieving the Physical Review look and feel; * Improved front matter macros for tagging author names and affiliations; * Improved back matter macros for tagging references. Actively promoted the use of BibTeX; * New features to make REVTeX a desirable e-print format. The latest tagging is designed to aid the peer-review and publication process from the moment a REVTeX paper is submitted.

latex.py Character translation utilities for LaTeX-formatted text. Usage: - unicode(string,'latex') - ustring.decode('latex') are both available just by letting "import latex" find this file. - unicode(string,'latex+latin1') - ustring.decode('latex+latin1') where latin1 can be replaced by any other known encoding, also become available by calling latex.register(). We also make public a dictionary latex_equivalents, mapping ord(unicode char) to LaTeX code. D.

jemdoc is a light text-based markup language designed for creating websites. It takes a text file written with jemdoc markup, an optional configuration file and an optional menu file, and makes static websites that look something like this one, that one or another one. jemdoc was inspired by AsciiDoc, which is a text document format. AsciiDoc is great, and lots of the ideas from AsciiDoc are copied in jemdoc. The main differences are that jemdoc is simpler (you could say deliberately feature poor) and has more consistent syntax.

Bibliographic management and citation formatting are central to the practice of all manner of research. The current bibliographic software landscape is divided broadly between a commercial market characterized by buggy software and glacial innovation, and an open software ecosystem built around BibTeX. BibTeX’s success is a function of three factors. First, BibTeX was designed to solve real needs: allowing LaTeX users to format their manuscripts according to detailed publisher specifications. Second, it has a dedicated styling language to configure such formatting. Finally, it focuses on a single task: bibliographic and citation encoding and formatting. As a result, a variety of tools have been built around it. A GUI application designer can simply focus on how best to manage references, without having to worry about the obscure complexities of bibliographic and citation formatting. Nevertheless, BibTeX is otherwise quite limited. Its data model is unsuitable for demanding users in the social sciences and humanities, it has no international support, its styling language is written in an obscure language that is very difficult to work with, and it is limited to LaTeX.

Vim reStructured Text Author: Mikolaj Machowski Title: Vim reStructured Text - HTML and LaTeX output Keywords: Vim, LaTeX, PDF, HTML, XML Version: 1.4 License: GPL v. 2 Date: 4 Nov 2006 For a long time Vim users were asking for "real" export to HTML. This is, I believe, first real try to achieve this effect. This is Vim version of reStructuredText, popular Python language documentation tool (so I borrowed parts of its documentation).

JabRef is an open source bibliography reference manager. The native file format used by JabRef is BibTeX, the standard LaTeX bibliography format. JabRef runs on the Java VM (version 1.5 or newer), and should work equally well on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. BibTeX is an application and a bibliography file format written by Oren Patashnik and Leslie Lamport for the LaTeX document preparation system. General information about BibTeX. Bibliographies generated by LaTeX and BibTeX from a BibTeX file can be formatted to suit any reference list specifications through the use of different BibTeX style files. We support this initiative to build a searchable database of BibTeX style files, organized by journal names: LaTeX bibliography style database. You can run JabRef instantly with Java Web Start: Run JabRef.
