Short description: SBML2LaTeX is a tool to convert files in the System Biology Markup Language SBML) format into LaTeX files. A convenient online version is available, which allows the user to directly generate various file types from SBML including PDF, TeX, DVI, PS, EPS, GIF, JPG or PNG. SBML2LaTeX can also be downloaded and used locally in batch mode or interactively with its Graphical User Interface or several command line options. The purpose of SBML2LaTeX is to provide a way to read the contents of XML-based SBML files. This is helpful and important for, e.g., error detection, proofreading and model communication.
