Teixmlref

Teixmlref is a reference parser for TeX input, designed to provide detailed information about tags, properties, and attribute usage in the context of XSL-FO (Extensible Stylesheet Language-Fормatted Output) creation. It was created to facilitate the processing and conversion of TeX-based content into XSL-FO, a widely-used format for high-quality printing.

Teixmlref functions by taking in a TeX input file and returning a structured output, which includes information on the available fonts, font sizes, and other styling elements. The output can be accessed through an interface, allowing developers and scripters to dynamically query the structure and properties of the original TeX content.

This parser serves as an essential tool for developers working with LaTeX documents, particularly in the context of content management systems, document conversion tools, or scripting environments. Teixmlref enables them to understand the depth of styling information embedded in a TeX document and generate accurate conversions to XSL-FO.

While Teixmlref has seen use in the conversion and processing of scientific literature, thesis documents, and online documentation, it can also be used as a general-purpose parser for analyzing and manipulating TeX-formatted content. However, its primary purpose is geared towards facilitating conversion and rendering processes involving TeX and XSL-FO.

Limited primarily to its function as a TeX reference parser, Teixmlref only deals with the documentation aspects of a TeX document. It provides detailed information for conversion tools to work with, but does not perform or influence the rendering of a document.
