TeX in Indesign

[ociecg]

Helo

I need to use equations in TeX/LaTeX in Indesign document with full support (import equation, upgrade, modification etc.)

does anyone know such software?

I don't know of a plug-in to integrate TEX/LaTEX equations at all, much less editing of them. However, you can download LyX, which is basically a word processor that can use TEX/LaTex equations and export them as PDFs that can then be linked in ID and would update when there are changes. It is a free solution.

MathType can also be used and is, to me, a low-cost solution and is what I have used in the past.

Thanks

PS

I have script to integrate MathType equations at all, but i want use TeX equation because TeX is more professional and has more options and looks nicer 🙂

Hi ociecg, In-TeX/LaTeX is a JavaScript tool to compile LaTeX codes (not only math equations) to PDF in InDesign, it can run both in macOS and Windows.

Hello  IDk.k.

I have download In-TeX/LaTeX, but it is in japannesse, so its very difficult to configure and use it.

Also the videos are not active.

Maybe do you have more information?

Thanks.

Really, InDesign should support LaTeX and TeX input!

Agreed. It's a long-standing request from uers.

But given that Adobe hasn't improved InDesign's basic XML/database publishing tools during the past 10 years, I wouldn't wait for them to do anything for LaTeX.

Search the www.InDesign.UserVoice.com forum for LaTeX feature requests and either vote for the feature or start a new feature request. But you'll have to drum up a lot of votes for it to get Adobe's attention, 100+ votes.
