| We are considering making one, as Document has been accepted as the
markup language for "official" documents to customers (functional specs
etc) and over the last year a lot have used LaTeX for the first time.
It's a tricky thing though, especially if a number of user-made \def-s
are included. Either we make a rough thing for e.g. \begin{itemize}
to <LIST>(UNNUMBERED) etc or try to convert the TEX's into a Document
TEX, skipping the Gutentag...
May take a while though (lack of time & priority) before anything
appears. So if someone already has something...

| The latter sounds like a better strategy. If you went through LaTeX,
finding all the LaTeX macros that are inconsistent with DecTeX,
you could then create DecTeX macros with the same names that will
implement the desired functionality of the LaTeX macros. This
would skirt the user \def's issue.
I believe if you then pointed DOC$LOCAL_ELEMENTS at the new definition
file and went:
$DOC/NOTAG latex_doc doc-type output-device
it might stand half-a-chance of whizzing through. I don't know how LaTeX
deals with font files (or anything else about it) so maybe there would
be some sticky issues there, but otherwise the approach should work.
(Big job...let me know how it turns out ;^)
