Just to add my own interest in this (having written a book in LaTeX and used
LaTeX2HTML. That was 3yrB4XML, so now I would use XML :-)).

LaTeX is an established and powerful authoring tool, especially for scientific
mathematical and technical documents. TeX has been unrivalled as a
typesetting language in these disciplines. LaTeX2HTML (which Ross is looking
after) is a useful tool for publishing HTML. TeX provides a widely suported
output format (*.dvi) for many systems. So my interests are:

what is the a role for LaTeX2XML (sic)?

what is the role for XML2TeX?

and has anyone been developing tools in this area?
