Automated LaTeX to XML Conversion Workflow | LaTeX Workflow

Automated LaTeX to XML conversion is a crucial step in modern academic and STEM publishing. By converting manuscripts into JATS XML, TEI XML, or client-specific schemas, publishers receive structured, standardised, and future-ready content. This process handles equations, figures, tables, and references automatically, while quality-control scripts and schema validation ensure accuracy and compliance. The result is publication-ready XML that can be seamlessly exported to ePub, HTML, or DOCX formats.

Key Learnings

  • Automated pipelines convert LaTeX into JATS, TEI, or custom XML schemas efficiently
  • Equations are handled via LaTeX, MathML, or images like SVG and PNG
  • Figures, tables, and references are auto-tagged and validated with metadata
  • Schema validation and quality-control scripts ensure compliance and accuracy
  • Multi-format exports such as ePub, HTML, and DOCX streamline publishing

Podcast Conversation

  • Speaker A: Welcome back! Today, we’re talking about the final and crucial step in the publishing workflow — converting LaTeX into XML for digital publishing.
  • Speaker B: That’s right. Our fully automated pipeline can handle JATS XML, TEI XML, or any client-specified schema. This ensures that content is structured, standardised, and ready for multiple digital formats.
  • Speaker A: Equations are a big part of this process too. We can export them as LaTeX source, MathML, or even images like SVG or PNG depending on the needs of the publisher.
  • Speaker B: Exactly — and figures and tables are automatically converted, tagged with metadata, and references are cross-linked and validated against databases like Crossref.
  • Speaker A: We also run schema validation to guarantee compliance with publishing standards, and even extract and convert images automatically for perfect compatibility.
  • Speaker B: Plus, our quality-control scripts flag missing or malformed elements early, making the output clean and reliable.
  • Speaker A: This means publishers get XML that’s ready for ePub, HTML, or even DOCX exports — truly streamlining the path from manuscript to publication.

What our clients love about us

Shahid and his team treated me and my publishing project as if they were their most important responsibility, even though I knew my book was a very small job for them. The level of detail, passion for their work, and professionalism they brought was impressive, and I felt throughout our engagement that I was in the very best of hands. The outcome is a beautiful book that meets all of my publishing needs perfectly, and presents me in a truly sophisticated way.

Shahid and his team have earned my highest esteem and recommendation.

I am very grateful to my friend Geoff Hudson- Searle, who introduced me to Shahid Chowdhary, Founder and CEO of Siliconchips Services.

Shahid’s personal touch, along with his dedicated team, pulled together My “Tall Tree Sculpture Series” manuscript into an outstanding digital book. As an artist, I was amazed with how they edited and enhanced my artistic visions.

Thank you for your expertise and patience in making the numerous changes and revisions to bring this project to fruition.
