LameTeX is a PostScript translator for a (very limited) subset of LaTeX. One of its original design goals, the inclusion of sophisticated PostScript commands directly in a LaTeX document, has been superseded by the PSTricks package. However, one of the side effects of a special-purpose translator for LaTeX is the ability of that translator to produce different kinds of output, including plain ASCII.

The primary advantage of this method is that it does not require learning an entirely foreign macro package like TeXinfo. The disadvantage is that it understands only a very small subset of LaTeX. The author is Jonathan Monsarrat.
