# apertium-deslatex(1)

LaTeX format processor for Apertium

## NAME

**apertium-deslatex** – LaTeX format processor for Apertium

## SYNOPSIS

**apertium-deslatex** \[**-hin**\] \[*input\_file* \[*output\_file*\]\]

## DESCRIPTION

This tool is part of *the* *Apertium* *open-source* *machine* *translation* *toolbox:* **https://apertium.org/**.

The **apertium-deslatex** filter preprocesses [apertium-prelatex(1)](/apertium-prelatex/1.md) output to a deformatted “XMLish” LaTeX custom format. The output is suitable for processing with [lt-proc(1)](/lt-proc/1.md). Format information (newlines, tabs, etc.) is enclosed in brackets so that [lt-proc(1)](/lt-proc/1.md) treats it as whitespace between words.

## OPTIONS

- **-h**, **-****-help**

  Display this help.

- **-i**

  Makes the addition of trailing sentence terminator (‘.’) unconditional, often leading to duplicates.

- **-n**

  Suppresses the addition of a trailing sentence terminator.

## EXAMPLES

You could write the following to show how the word “gener” is analysed:

```
echo "<textit/><CONTENTS>gener</CONTENTS>" | apertium-deslatex | lt-proc ca-es.automorf.bin
```
