News feed (atom)Welcome to the web page dedicated to blahtex and blahtexml.
What are blahtex and blahtexml?
Blahtex is a program written in C++, which converts an equation given in a syntax close to TeX into MathML. It is designed by David Harvey and is aimed at supporting equations in MediaWiki.
Blahtexml is a simple extension of blahtex, written by Gilles Van Assche. In addition to the functionality of blahtex, blahtexml has XML processing in mind and is able to process a whole XML document into another XML document. Instead of converting only one formula at a time, blahtexml can convert all the formulas of the given XML file into MathML.
Due to their big overlap, blahtex and blahtexml are maintained together.
