Hello, Although Mathematica can save notebooks in LaTeX format, the output is not standard LaTeX. As it uses special macros and fonts, the output is not compatible with LaTeX editors such as Scientific Workplace. (It also tends to be incompatible with coauthors.) A couple of years ago I modified the TeXConvert package for Mathematica 4.1 to generate standard LaTeX. The modified package works fine with 4.1, but unfortunately Wolfram has changed TeXSave in 5.0. Faced with repeating my hack with 5.0, I thought I would first check if anyone else has a LaTeX conversion package. Given that Mathematica now can generate XML, it should be possible to generate standard LaTeX via DocBook. Does anybody know of an XSTL to transform SymbolicXML to DocBook? The possibility of doing this transformation is described in: http://documents.wolfram.com/v5/Add-onsLinks/XMLCapabilities/WorkingWithNote bookML/ProcessingNotebookML/ConvertingToSymbolicXML.html but Wolfram does not have (or know of) such an XSLT file.
