PassiveTeX: history and components

PassiveTeX derives from and builds on:

The system components, which probably will be rewritten separately, are:

  1. TeX macro library to parse XML input, deal with attributes, entities, etc.;
  2. Set of macros instantiating the formatting object elements and attributes;
  3. Macros to parse UTF-8 input;
  4. Macros to parse MathML elements;
  5. Macros to map Unicode to TeX font layouts.
