\doabstract{Getting started with plas\TeX}
{Tim Arnold}
{We discuss plas\TeX, a software package for converting \LaTeX\ documents
to other markup languages. We will cover typical usage with examples of
how to create \acro{HTML} and DocBook \acro{XML} from \LaTeX\ sources.

We finish with a demonstration of converting a simple \LaTeX\ source file
and a brief overview of how to extend the package to handle custom
commands and environments.}
