LaTeX to html+Mathjax with kind css conversion

Order of operations

1. Extract title

   DONE

2. Separate preamble and body

   DONE

3. Extract macros from the preamble
   • Implement later
4. Handle title - window name should incorporate title - make title heading h1
   • Extracted, ready for formatting in site
5. Handle macros - place in invisible div for Mathjax - see "Macros div" below
   • Implement later
6. Handle the body. Everything below is for the body.
7. Remove extra space and lines

   DONE

8. Swap escape sequences \$, \%, \&, and <, >

   DONE

9. Swap manual newlines \\, spaces \ , and accents
   • Partially done. Accents handled.
10. Swap fontstyles \em, bf, etc.
11. Convert text tables into html tables - Completely inessential, low priority of implementation
12. Convert itemize, enumerate
13. Put <p> ... </p> tags in - Excessively - remove excess later
14. Handle the \begin ... \end math. - equation, equationstar, align, alignstar - Enclose in $ for mathjax
15. Convert theorem environments - Handle both named and unnamed thms - Have a reference list, like "Theorem Environment List" - Remove labels, for now

    Until we can handle the references better

16. Convert section, sectionstar, subsection, subsectionstar

Macros div

To define macros, we'll place them in an invisible div, but still inside mathmode so that mathjax will interpret them. In particular,

<div style="display:none">
\[
  \newcommand{\CC}{\mathbf{C}}
\]
</div>

Alternately, we could simply decide on preestablished macros that seem worthwhile, and use no others. This would also keep good portability with journals, etc.

Theorem Environment List

A reasonable start is the following. Either stick to it, or

ThmEnvs = ["theorem","definition","lemma",
           "proposition","corollary","claim",
           "remark","example","exercise"]

In short, keep with it at first.

Wishlist

1. Handle theorem numbering
2. Handle theorem labeling and ref
3. Handle \cite and bibliography

How to handle labels and ref

First thought:

1. Go through document and make lists of theorem env labels
2. Keep refs only for not theorem env labels
3. Modify the others, as in mse2wp

vim: foldmethod=indent foldcolumn=2 ts=2 sw=2 sts=2
