Question

Convert FM equations into TeX strings

FM newbie here

Is it possible to convert equations in a Framemaker document into TeX strings?  In other words: parse a document for equations and blow them up into equivalent TeX string?

Thanks

    Bonjour,

    Je suis très intéressé par la conversion des documents framemaker vers tex, et la macro que vous avez développée m'intéresse donc beaucoup. Pourriez-vous SVP me fournir un lien actif pour que je puisse la récupérer?

    Merci d'avance

    The macro you made is very interesting for me, as I'd like to translate mif file to latex files.

    Could you please give to me an active link which could help to get it?

    Thanks in advance

    The only FM to LaTex converter that I'm aware of is found on Ken Turner's site at: http://www.cs.stir.ac.uk/~kjt/software/framemaker/

    I don't know if it does equations.

    Thanks, I previously found it but it's only for Unix and the readme page says:

    The following information is lost in the translation:

    • page layout, including page numbering
    • the document date
    • frames, including figure contents and mathematics expressions
    • markers, including index entries
    • table formatting

    so I assume equations aren't converted.

    Does anyone know another tool to do this type of conversion?  Looking at the structure of MIF equation, it shouldn't be very difficult...

    Phaedo,

    You have already looked at the MIF representation, which is also available to API programming methods. Can you give us an example of what you would like to see, i.e. how a MIF construct has to be turned into a TeX string?
