Device independent (DVI) file format parsing with node

DVI Parser

This package is build on top of the work of @artisticat1, @drgrice1 and @kisonecat. Thanks to them for their great work!

What I did is to build and publish the package on npm to make it easier to use in other projects.

A live demo is available at https://people.math.osu.edu/fowler.291/latex/

Built using https://github.com/FabriceSalvaire/PyDVI and the work of @tmanderson

The goal with this project is to eventually have a complete DVI toolset written in node. Once complete, this will hopefully be used to implement TeX document conversions completely in node (particularly a highly configurable HTML/CSS/JS output).

I'll also be updating the Wiki for those that are interested. Currently, I there's a DVI Specification Explained section that I put together for my own benefit (sourced from a few different online pages).

TODO

• DVI Parser
• TFM Parser
• Metric management (right now, fonts are found using kpsewhich)
• HTML/CSS/JS conversion

Building

Run

npm install

Not that this will automatically run npm run build after all node packages are installed.
