Conversion of LaTeX formatting?

I have some text in a database that I write out in InDesign Tagged Text
format for placing in an InDesign CS3 document. Normally, this text is just
plain text.
However, now I noticed some LaTeX formatting codes (LaTeX is a document
formatting language/system used often in the scientific publishing field).
It would be nice to interpret some of these that are easy, at least in a
rudimentary way (bold, italic, superscript, subscript, etc.)
Has anyone ever come up with a solution for handling LaTeX formatting code
with InDesign, either directly or through processing of a tagged-text file
before placing it in InDesign?
I'm looking for something that doesn't require manual intervention in 300
pages of text.
Thanks,
Lance

From what I understand LaTeX supports exporting to XML. That would most
likely be the best way to get it from LaTeX to InDesign.

  • LabVIEW formula to LaTeX format Converter

    Does anyone know if there is a VI available that will convert a LabVIEW formula to LaTeX format?
    e.g.
    (a1+a2)/2   ---->    \frac{a1+a2}{2}
    I wanted to check if something like this is available before venturing off and attempting to make my own.

  • Data conversion from 212 format

    I found a problem during conversion data.
    I have a file which contains ASCII characters (in fact they're look
    like ASCII on any editor) . I have to convert them to integer but I
    know that data are organised into pairs of 12bit numbers packed into
    byte triplets (format 212).
    I made some vi (which convert 2 following ASCII characters to binary,
    then divide them to pairs of 4bits, then some rotation etc..) but the
    whole conversion takes too much time (64kb file conversion is taking
    approx. 1minute).
    Thank you for any suggestions,
    Michael ([email protected])

    Dear Michal,
    I hope this vi work faster.
    Input: 3bytes, data type unsigned int (U8)
    Output: 2 values, data type integer. (INT16)
    of course read all file to memory. Don't read everytime from file by 3
    bytes.
    Deniss
    ps. vi i send by e-mail.

    You have two options: Format Date/Time String or Format String.  I prefer Format String since I am usually combining other things.  For the format string, follow formats given in the LabVIEW Help (follow the links I already gave you).

  • Conversion of .dwg format

    Hi,
    I am using Location Appliance 2700 Serie, and I must import a plant in WCS.
    According to "Cisco 2700 Series Wireless Location Appliance - Deployment Guide", the only two importable formats are: .jgps and .bmps.
    I have a plant in .dwg format.
    Can somebody help me to convert my format .dwg into either .jgps or .bmps ?
    Thank you!!!

    If you have AutoCad available, you can output it to jpg directly from AutoCad. If not, Visio is an option, as well as one of the many free utilities out there. Some co-workers of mine have used AnyDwg (anydwg.com), but there are many fine tools out there.
    I would suggest a search of google for "+convert +dwg +jpg" to gegt a few potential programs. Most offer a trial period to see if you like them. If this is a one time conversion, a trial might be all you need.

  • Apple TV - Software for Conversions to .m4v format

    I've been using MPEG Streamclip to do conversions from .vob, .avi, etc to m4v format. It seems to take an unusually long time (for a 2 hour film it takes 8-10 hours) and lately when it finally gets to the end, a message comes up that "Can't export movie" with no details given. My 1TB destination drive has plenty of space available.
    I'm wondering if there's a better product out there even if it costs a bit of $$ ?
    I do need the ability to convert to 1020 x 780p for my Plasma HD Set (for full screen) ...
    BTW, I'm on an iMac 2 GHz Intel Core Duo with 2GB memory (the max) sunning OS X 10.4.11

    I'm not sure but I don't believe the turbo h264 does 720p conversions.
    You are certainly right; the webpage says:
    Apple TV Video: Video: H.264 Main Profile, 5 Mbps max., 800x600 max., 30 fps max. Audio: AAC-LC, stereo, 128 Kbps, 48 kHz. (Note: If the source movie is larger than 800x600 it will be scaled to fit within 800x600 preserving aspect ratio. Resolution is maintained if 800x600 or smaller. Frame rate is maintained when 30 fps and smaller.)
    Also if your source video isn't 720p, you are wasting a lot of time and HD space converting to 720p, you cannot create quality from nowhere.
    I'm always amazed at the number of people who seem to think you can.

    DVDs use muxed mpeg video and QT will not export sound from such formats. QT Mpeg Limitations
    One workaround is to demux the mpeg-2 to separate video and audio streams. Sorry, I don't have a link to a Windows demux utility but I am sure you can find one on the net. Convert those separately to QT formats and then use QT to combine the separate tracks into a single file, like mpeg-4, which the iPod should read. QT (if you buy the mpeg2playbackcomponent) will play and convert the video to other formats. For the sound you will have to use a separate sound utility to convert the mpeg sound stream to a QT compatible form like AIFF or Wave. This freeware application offers a Windows version that should do the conversion. Audacity

  • Frame Maker document Format conversion to InDesign format

    Frame Maker stores the authored document into binary format. My question is any Adobe Scripting/program guide to read the framemaker data and convert in a format which Adobe InDesign can understand.
    I read an article that there is a MIF filter tool which provide such functionality. I love coding than using some prebuilt tool.
    Is anyone has experienced anything related to converting existing framemake document using scripting/program to the format Adobe InDesign?
    Thanks

    Hi, Anil:
    If the article you read was in InDesign Magazine, it's probably my review of DTP Tools's MIF Filter plug-in for InDesign.
    The FrameMaker Software Development Kit (SDK) is one way to program FrameMaker. Framescript is a third-party tool that runs scripts on FrameMaker. There are some publicly-available Framescripts, and many commercially-available, plus a few folks who custom-develop
    Frame's MIF (Maker Interchange Language) is open. Opening an FM file that was saved as MIF perfectly recreates the original; well, not exactly, because it does leave out almost all miscellaneous corruption and garbage, so it's better than the orignal.
    FrameMaker 10 introduces scripting with javascript by using ExtendScript. Search Google for terms like "framemaker 10 sdk," "FrameMaker MIF Reference Manual," and "Framescript," without quotes for links to these tools.
    In my article I mentioned that there are some FrameMaker constructs that cannot be converted exactly to InDesign, because InDesign doesn't have those features. True sideheads are one example. "Straddle paragraphs" that go across two or more columns are no longer missing in InDesign, where they're called "span paragraphs." If you think you can program true InDesign sideheads, more power to you! The MIF Filter does its best to duplicate the FrameMaker appearance in its InDesign conversions, but the behavior is different; this means that if you edit such "innovative" conversions, they may fall apart.
    FrameMaker can export XML and RTF, which InDesign can import, so you may find that these formats are sufficient to migrate your content.

    I hv declared my_date as my_date LIKE RSPARAMS in my_bapi, under TABLES tabstrip.
    So, How to convert from MM/DD/YYYY to YYYY/MM/DD? Wht is the FM?

    use offset command to convert desired output
    if u want date in dd.mm.yyyy format u can use FM CONVERSION_EXIT_PDATE_OUTPUT u will get ur required date format as u ask dd.mm.yyyy.
    FM - CONVERSION_EXIT_PDATE_OUTPUT
    data : out_date(10) like char,
    in_date(10) like char.
    in_date = '10.02.2007'.
    *take variables V1, V2, V3.
    V1 = in_date+ 0(4).
    V2 = in_date+ 5(2).
    V3 = in_date+ 7(2).
    Concatenate V3 V2 V1 into date separated by '/'.
    Now, out_date will have DD/MM/YYYY
    Thanks
