Typesetting
The core activity of ITHAL is to provide typesetting system as a service over web to
its users. Users shall create necessary input files either locally in their computers and
upload to their homes at
ITHAL or they can create documents at
ITHAL
server in their preferred language as well. A properly marked up document in
LATEX can seamlessly generate PDF, XML/MathML, HTML, enriched PDF,
ePub, images of math equations and formulae in their preferred format (.svg,
.gif, .png, .jpg). All outputs are created in a non-interactive and automatic
fashion.

LATEX provides unparalleled typographical elegance and ease of generation. It has the added advantage of high precision adherence to fine typographic conventions of mathematical constructs in technical contents.
The above workflow diagram explains how a source file marked up in LATEX can be processed to generated the needed output formats.
Generic Form Printing
