Compiling LATEX to computer algebra-enabled HTML5
Bernard Parisse
TL;DR
This paper presents a method to compile LATEX documents into interactive HTML5 pages with embedded computer algebra system capabilities, enabling computations directly in the browser.
Contribution
It introduces a novel integration of LATEX, HTML5, and CAS tools to create interactive documents with embedded computation features.
Findings
Enables running computations in the browser from LATEX documents.
Combines multiple software tools for seamless LATEX to HTML5 conversion.
Provides a framework for interactive mathematical documents online.
Abstract
This document explains how to create or modify an existing LATEX document with commands enabling computations in the HTML5 output: when the reader opens the HTML5 output, he can run a computation in his browser, or modify the command to be executed and run it. This is done by combining different softwares: hevea for compilation to HTML5, giac.js for the CAS computing kernel (itself compiled from the C++ Giac library with emscripten), and a modified version of itex2MML for fast and nice rendering in MathML in browsers that support MathML.
