jats to tex #11

Dear Mr Fenner,

I'm working for SciELO.org project in developing a platform to markup and output JatXML in LaTeX. One of the ideas is to use pandoc to convert SciELO Publishing Schema to TeX. So I would like to invite you to work with us in extending your pandoc template. It would be a pleasure to be in contact with you anyway.

Yours,

Jorge Sallum

Jorge, the timing is perfect, as I have just restarted working on this project this week, primarily to convert the blog posts of the DataCite blog into JATS. Please keep in mind that this is currently a JATS writer, you can't read a file in JATS format with this library.

Martin, I'm glad to know about your interest. SciELO is now involved with Subsance project (http://substance.io/) and as far as I know they are working together in mapping SciELO/Jats tags. So I really don't think we would have to parser any text to Jats. The scope would be to parser SciELO/Jats to TeX. I put all bits, jats and scielo tags in a csv (https://github.com/hedra-digital/pandoc-jats/blob/master/jats-scielo-comparison.csv). I also started documenting tex according to scielo docs in order to help in parse docs. Please, have a look:

Here is the extended SciELO docs for each tag (I'm writing latex section) https://github.com/hedra-digital/scielo_publishing_schema/blob/master/docs/source/tagset/elemento-kwd-group.rst

I also created an example and a pdf. The goal is to produce the most stantard LaTeX code so people can easly design your own Journal tex template.

Many thanks for your interest again. If you find this well I can talk with SciELO staff about a contract with your directly. Considering the scope is defined, it would be great.

By the way, my email jorge At hedra.com.br

Martin, sorry about being so out of scope. I finally discussed with the developers (I'm an editor, in fact) and we will use pandoc-jats as our native converter to open other formats into the Substance-Texture editor (a jats editor). I hope we can even help in extending it to Bits.

At the same time we intend to work in a new project to convert bits & jats to LaTeX using pandoc. I finally got what you've said about geting LaTeX from Jats with pandoc-jats.

Thanks for your help.

J.
