 --------------------------------------------------------


TEI2LATEX and TEI2HTML version 0.2 are now available at the following
url:

ftp://ftp.emn.fr/incoming/fekete/tei2latex-0.2.tar.gz

It has several improvements, especially tei2html which can split a TEI
document into several linked html subdocuments.

It is still not well documented, especially configuration options,
although they can be used to translate full TEI documents into LaTeX
or HTML.


Here is the contents of the README file:

         tei2latex, tei2html: Two Perl5 Programs to Translate
              TEI Lite Documents into LaTeX2e and HTML documents


                             Version 0.2

ABSTRACT

tei2latex is a program that translates a TEI Lite document into a
LaTeX2e document.

tei2html is a program that translates a TEI Lite document into a
HTML document.

The translation process can be configured in several ways for two
reasons:
 . to enhance the default translation in case TEI Lite lacks
   information about the presentation (as in tables for instance)
 . to personalize the presentation of a document or a set of
   documents.

By adding configuration files, tei2* can process full TEI documents.

This is an early version so don't be suprised to encounter bugs and
don't hesitate to suggest enhancements.

*******************


 *  The `sdata' conversion tables came Dtd Fragments made by Ken
MacLeod, who in turn copied it from GF. Here are Gary's
    acknowledgements for these:

 *  The NSGMLS output parser, `SGMLS.pm' and `sgmlspl, comes from 
    David Megginson.

     *  The tables for the conversion of ISOlat1 to "best" ASCII follow a
        system developed by Markus Kuhn.

     *  `ISOlat1.2tex' is based on a latin1 to TeX table by (I think) Peter
        Flynn.

     *  Other TeX symbols were grabbed individually from numerous sources.

     *  ISOlat1 etc. are from the ISO.

     *  ISOgrk* and TEIgrk are from me, with the help of Yannis Haralambous.

 *  James Clark's SGMLS or SP; SP is preferred due to it's much better
    handling of document entities and general coolness. http://jclark.com

 *  David Megginson's SGMLS.PM. ftp://aix1.uottawa.ca/pub/dmeggins and
    http://www.uottawa.ca/~dmeggins/
