NLM .nxml to text format conversion
Usage:
./nxml2txt NXMLFILE [TEXTFILE] [SOFILE]
For example (using test document):
./nxml2txt test/PMC3357053.nxml test/PMC3357053.txt test/PMC3357053.so
This creates the files test/PMC3357053.txt, containing the text
content of the input document, and test/PMC3357053.so, containing
the annotations (XML elements and their attributes) in a simple
standoff format.
nxml2txt assumes a unix-like environment. If the input .nxml file contains embedded TeX-math, nxml2txt requires LaTeX and catdvi.
