I don't use this but regarding who made it, please see the below post, copy+pasted from the old sf.net list (around the time of sage 1.2 or 1.3 I think): ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ [SAGEdev] Basic mathml logger didier deshommes to sage-devel show details 5/3/06 Hello, I've written a basic session logger that tries to save everything in mathml. Most of the tools that do the latex -> mathml conversion either do an arbitrary subset of the LaTeX language or are non-free. hermes (http://hermes.roua.org/) manages to be more complete by semantically analyzing the tex source. So, it could potentially parse out the whole SAGE documentation. To generate mathml output in hermes, you need to do: ./seed doc.tex latex doc.s.tex ./hermes doc.s.dvi > out.lib xslproc pub.xsl out.lib > out.pub # you'll need to download xlstproc The latex-> mathml conversion is not perfect yet: hermes chokes up on \mbox and \rm tags, but the dvi generated by a file containing this tag contains errors anyway (if you look at the log). I'm guessing that the latex-> dvi conversion needs to run without any errors... At the moment, hermes cannot parse the SAGE docs, it doesn't support some of the fonts that the docs are written in. Hermes has a list of fonts it supports, but this list can be extended. Here is the output of a sample session: http://aida.homelinux.net/sagelog.pub.xml I've attached the diff against misc/log.py and a patch against a bug found in hermes/pub.xslt, if you're interested to mess with it.
