</div>I am surprised to see that tex2page¹ is rarely mentioned when it comes<br>
to converters. I heard about this tool 8 years ago but only started<br>
using it a few days ago. It understands plain TeX and LaTeX out of box<br>
along with a few traditional packages people use with LaTeX. Everything<br>
else can be programmed in a file jobname.t2p of your project. You can<br>
also program TeX in either scheme or lisp. Check out the short manual on<br>
its web page. Quite a few MIT on-line textbooks are generated by<br>
tex2page.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
