How is GELLMU Related to tex4ht?…
The tex4ht family of applications is conversion software. It uses TeX, the Program, configured with special macros aimed at a target format, such as HTML, to create DVI “specials” in TeX’s normal DVI output. While one can print the DVI file in the usual way, one may also then submit it to a special post-processor for writing a translation of the original document in the target format. One can achieve very good results this way if the original source is carefully crafted. For legacy source this method is likely to produce optimal results. GELLMU provides LaTeX-like markup for the conscious writing of instances under an XML document type. There is very little intersection of this with the functionality of tex4ht except in the relatively rare instances of TeX or LaTeX source that is carefully crafted under a custom markup. GELLMU does not provide a technique for automatic translation of legacy documents although one may sometimes, especially with clever use of its macro facilities, succee
