Re: Technical challenges (Was Re: [ESWC 2015] First Call for Paper)

Hey all,

is there any established and/or widely supported LaTeX XML schema?

I have found several projects, but not sure how much they're used:
- http://dlmf.nist.gov/LaTeXML/
- http://getfo.org/texml/
- http://www-sop.inria.fr/marelle/tralics/

If there would be an agreed XML schema, it would be trivial to provide
templates for different styles using XSLT+CSS.
