MathML to LaTeX conversion

Question

I\'m trying to figure out how to convert a MathML representation of a math equation and convert it to the LaTeX representation of that math equation. So for example...

Answer 1

Try http://www.tilman.de/programme/mathparser/anleitung_en.html - it's written in Java and the source is available.

Answer 2

I had similar problem and mathparser provided in url from question wasn't working for me at all.

I converted MathML to LaTeX by using XSLT MathML Library with Saxon-HE but since XSLT MathML library is pure XSLT any XSLT transformation tool should handle it. Output is not always perfect but it gave me better results than web-xslt mentioned somewhere at stackexchange network.

Command line usage with saxon:

saxon -o output.tex input.mml xsltml_2.1.2/mmltex.xsl

Answer 3

What's wrong with XSLT, SAX parsers, or DOM parsers?

Bindings for SAX and DOM parsers exist for all major languages (and pretty much every other language too). I would recommend DOM parsing using a functional language, but tastes differ.

XSLT is a functional language designed for processing XML.
