How to extract plain text from LaTeX

Sometimes you need the raw text content of a LaTeX document without any formatting, commands, or markup. Plain text extraction is useful for word counts, plagiarism checks, indexing, and accessibility tools.

FormaTeX strips all LaTeX commands and produces clean, readable plain text. Math expressions are rendered in a human-readable form where possible.
