Abstract

I present a schema for translating TEX primitives to HTML/CSS. This translation can serve as a basis for (very) low-level TEX-to-HTML converters, and is in fact used by the RUSTEX system--a (somewhat experimental) implementation of a TEX engine in Rust, used to convert LATEX documents to HTML-- for that purpose. Notably, the schema is accurate enough to yield surprisingly decent (and surprisingly often "the exactly right") results on surprisingly many "high-level" LATEX macros, which makes it adequate to use in lieu of (and often even instead of) dedicated support for macros and packages.
