In article <1507@cfa.cfa.harvard.EDU> iwm@doc.ic.ac.uk (Ian Moor) writes: } }There are three TeX to ascii converters that I know of (dvidoc, dvitty and }crudetype), and of course tr2tex to convert your manual pages to TeX :-) Notice though, dvitty doesn't even *try* to produce plausible ascii output. Dvidoc has some brokenness inside it which gets all distances screwed up [and so everything that uses "lengths" come out wrong (such things as the indenting for lists and such) --- I took a fling at figuring out how to fix that, but it was too complicated for me to sort out quickly], and crudetype hasn't shown up anywhere stateside yet, far as I can tell [there was a mention of texhax of its appearing in the archives at cs.washington.edu, but it never arrived]. SO... for all practical purposes, I think there is *NO* useable nroff-like variant of TeX/LaTeX available just yet... __ / ) Bernie Cosell /--< _ __ __ o _ BBN Sys & Tech, Cambridge, MA 02238 /___/_(<_/ (_/) )_(_(<_ cosell@bbn.com
