| To be able to convert TeX documents to HTML, the number of available TeX commands, environments and constructs have been limited and a specific notation created for standard TeX commands. This has been done to create standardized and uniform publications that are technically convertable and also much easier for less advanced users to work with. This notation has been defined and described in a preamble that is included at the beginning of each publication ([[http://edition-open-access.de/support/example.html|see sample project]]). We do not use any document classes or program displays other than our own as the definition of commands in the preamble is adequate for our purposes and simple to install for the majority of users. | To be able to convert TeX documents to HTML, the number of available TeX commands, environments and constructs have been limited and a specific notation created for standard TeX commands.

| In addition, we use the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XeTeX|XeTeX]]-engine to create PDF files. This engine enables us to directly input Chinese, Hebrew and Cyrillic scripts and also enables conversion to HTML. The bibliography is created through the dual use of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biber_%28LaTeX%29|BibLaTeX/Biber]] which offers excellent Unicode support. | In addition, we use the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XeTeX|XeTeX]]-engine to create PDF files.
