Bug#554868: Re : Re: Bug#554868: ITP: libjlatexmath-java -- Implementation of LaTeX math mode wrote in Java.

Hi,

jlatexmath is different of jmathtex. As said on the project web site, jmathtex is not an implementation of latex, it provides a way to display mathematical formulas using a latex syntax (the set of available commands are relatively small) or mathml syntax.
The aim of jlatexmath is to provide an implementation of latex (only for math formulas). I suppress all the mathml support, the most of latex commands (and packages as amsmath too) are available (~800) and add mechanism to write new macros (in latex or in java). And now, jlatexmath can be used to export in pdf.

Best regards,

Calixte
