CTAN has a new package: escapeTeXt
by CTAN Announcements 27 Aug '06

27 Aug '06

The program described below has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: escapeTeXt Author's name: Jim Hefferon Location on CTAN: /support/escapeTeXt Summary description: Make plain text safe for use in LaTeX License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This program massages plain text to make it more likely to safely pass through LaTeX. It can be run from the command line, so you can do drive-by LaTeXing. Where it differs from other such scripts already on CTAN is that its internal routines can also be imported for use by other Python programs, for instance one that makes documents from text gathered on a web form. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/escapeTeXt .
