Bug#999599: ITP: liblatex-tounicode-perl -- Convert LaTeX commands to Unicode



Package: wnpp
Owner: Andrius Merkys <merkys@debian.org>
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : liblatex-tounicode-perl
  Version         : 0.11
  Upstream Author : Gerhard Gossen and Boris Veytsman
* URL             : https://metacpan.org/release/LaTeX-ToUnicode
* License         : Artistic
  Programming Lang: Perl
  Description     : Convert LaTeX commands to Unicode
 LaTeX::ToUnicode provides a method to convert LaTeX-style markups for
accents
 etc. into their Unicode equivalents. It translates commands for special
 characters or accents into their Unicode equivalents and removes formatting
 commands. It is not at all bulletproof or complete.
 .
 This module converts values from BibTeX files into plain text.
 .
 In contrast to TeX::Encode, this module does not create HTML of any kind,
 including for HTML/XML metacharacters such as <, >, &, which can appear
 literally in the output. Entities are other handling for these has to
happen
 at another level, if need be.

This package is needed by BibTeX::Parser which I intend to package.
BibTeX::Parser is a pure-perl BibTeX parser which is used by some of
uppackaged tools I work with.

Remark: This package is to be maintained with Debian Perl Group at

https://salsa.debian.org/perl-team/modules/packages/liblatex-tounicode-perl
