<DIV>Dear sir/madam,<BR><BR>I was wondering if you could provide some technical
support please. I am attempting to write a Latex editor in C#, which will
essentially output TeX text to a file, ready for subsequent processing. However,
an idea occurred to me to make the whole process a lot simpler. Instead of
generating the text, and then processing it, what if the complete TeX processing
could be somehow integrated into my program, therefore completely bypassing the
entire text parsing problem currently plagued by the TeX process. This would
eliminate any need to read the text in from a file, eliminate parsing errors,
syntax errors, etc. It would be quicker and more stable. <BR><BR>The idea would
be to simply generate a DVI or PDF, or PS output directly from my program. To do
this, I would need the source code on how TeX converts the .tex file
accordingly, and I would need to further think about how to integrate this into
my object-oriented structure I have at the moment. Could you please point me in
the right direction, in terms of accessing this source code, so that I could do
this please? Also, are there any licensing problems due to this approach?
<BR><BR>regards, <BR><BR>David </DIV></BODY></HTML>
