The Tcl functions return the translated value.  Included filters convert LaTeX to HTML and nroff.  Source code: [http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/l2x]
** Description **

[MC] 2005-12-29: I've typeset a couple of books now and find that I get a lot
of mileage out of getting my content into an [XML] format and then writing a
[Tcl] script (making use of [tDOM]) to transform that into LaTeX.  This allows
me to easily experiment with LaTeX markup and LaTeX packages (since I've still
got ''a lot''  to learn) with minimal pain.
