history
Project history and usage
LaTeXML is a public-domain Perl toolchain for translating TeX and LaTeX sources into structured XML and downstream formats such as HTML, EPUB, JATS, TEI, and MathML. Its package-manager identity is unusually tied to digital-math publishing rather than ordinary document rendering: it tries to preserve enough semantic structure for web presentation, search, accessibility, and corpus processing.
Project history
Bruce R. Miller developed LaTeXML at NIST for the Digital Library of Mathematical Functions, where a large body of LaTeX-authored mathematical content needed a web-oriented representation. The project later moved into a public GitHub workflow under the brucemiller/LaTeXML repository, with Deyan Ginev also listed as an author in the repository metadata.
The 2014 paper 'LaTeXML 2012 - A Year of LaTeXML' described the project as already established in mathematical-knowledge-management work, originally created for NIST DLMF and then used in publishing frameworks, authoring suites, and large TeX corpora. GitHub release tags show the 0.8 line continuing from at least 2015's v0.8.1 through the v0.8.8 release work dated 2024-02-26.
Adoption history
LaTeXML found adoption where TeX is the authoring language but HTML, XML, accessibility, or machine-readable math is the delivery target. The project's own history emphasizes DLMF, mathematical publishing, authoring tools, and corpus conversion rather than a generic LaTeX-to-PDF workflow.
Package-manager adoption reflects that niche but durable role: Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, MacPorts, and openSUSE package it as a command-line conversion suite, exposing tools such as latexml, latexmlpost, latexmlmath, and latexmlc.
How it is used
Typical use is a pipeline: convert TeX-like input to LaTeXML's XML model, then postprocess it into web or interchange formats. The command family supports full-document conversion, daemon-style conversion, math fragments, postprocessing, and helper discovery.
Why package nerds care
LaTeXML matters to package nerds because it sits at the intersection of TeX packaging, Perl dependencies, XML vocabularies, MathML, and reproducible document conversion. It is the sort of formula that reveals whether a package manager can handle a research-software stack with long-lived academic infrastructure and many format edges.
