Tools for converting LaTeX equations to Content MathML or OpenMath?

Bolo picture Bolo · Aug 30, 2010 · Viewed 7.3k times · Source

Do you know any open source tools or libraries (preferably Java, but that's not a strict requirement) in the GNU/Linux world that convert mathematical equations in LaTeX syntax to Content MathML or OpenMath?

I need to convert tons of equations in batch mode, so I'm not looking for interactive apps.

EDIT My focus is on the equations' semantics, so I cannot use Presentation MathML (unless there's a converter from Presentation MathML to Content MathML).

Thanks in advance!

This might be what you are looking for: SnuggleTeX

From the site:
SnuggleTeX is a 100% Java library for converting (a reasonable subset of) LaTeX into XHTML + MathML.

SnuggleTeX can attempt to convert input LaTeX to Content MathML by first creating Enhanced Presentation MathML and then processing that. In many ways, this part of the process is relatively simple since most of the semantic structure has already been inferred (though might not necessarily make any sense).
