MathToWeb - Using the Command-line Version

Using the command-line version of MathToWeb

MathToWeb is a Java program and exists in the form of an executable JAR file (mathtoweb.jar). It can be run in one two ways:

Place the mathtoweb.jar in the same directory as the text file on which it will act (let us call this directory C:\MathML and the text file that requires conversion to MathML, myLatex.txt) At the command line, make this your current directory and run the program by typing the following command:
C:\MathML>java -jar mathtoweb.jar myLatex.txt
Place mathtoweb.jar in its own permanent directory, for example, C:\MathToWeb\mathtoweb.jar (as above, suppose that our text file is in C:\MathML\myLatex.txt, but now our current directory is C:\). Run mathtoweb.jar by specifying the full or relative path to both the jar and the text file:
C:\>java -jar C:\MathToWeb\mathtoweb.jar C:\MathML\myLatex.txt

Note: If the current directory is not that of mathtoweb.jar (as in the second example above), then the path to the JAR must always be specified, either in full or one relative to the current directory.
