Re: [NTG-context] TexPaste alpha - my Win application converting Word/HTML to TeX
Hello Piotr Sorry for the late reply, but could you post it to the net somewhere or to the list? Thanks, Adriaan. Hello list, Inevitably, it's a recurring subject. Here are my 2p. After playing with all sorts of convertors to TeX, Latex, HTML and scraping the output with Perl to obtain something useful for ConTeXt I found that what I in fact really need to preserve from a Word file are italics and footnotes. To make the long story short. IMHO the only reasonable way to go is via XSL stylesheet for ooffice. Fortunately you don't have to develop a new one from scratch which would be quite a task. There is an excellent stylesheet converting odt to mediawiki by Bernhard Haumacher odt2mediawiki.xsl It took me less than an hour to adapt it for ConTeXt output. Then you only add it as an xml filter to Open Office and from then on can convert Word to ConTeXt straight from ooffice as if it was one of its built-in export formats. Piotr 2009/5/28 luigi scarso luigi.sca...@gmail.com: I guess I should build a new converter suite (there's also a InDesign Tags to ConTeXt converter anywhere on my harddisk). But I won't make GUI apps, just scripts. That's sound good ! If in python, even better ! If only scripts, the best !

Bold (b), Italic (i), Header 1 (h1), Header 2 (h2), Header 3
(h3).
Sorry for stealing your thread, but it's related...
I just found there's still a collection of my old (2002) Perl scripts at
http://www.fiee.net/texnique/material/fiee-perl.zip
It contains simple converters from HTML, LaTeX and XPress Tags to
ConTeXt.
While this one (2006):
http://www.fiee.net/texnique/material/mab2bib.zip
contains (besides a mab2bib bibliography converter) a simple Python
script to convert arbitrary encodings - just rename it from
utf8_to_latex.py to e.g. latin1_to_utf8.py: If the parts of its
file name are encodings known to Python, it'll just work.
latex encoding is included, so latex_to_utf8.py can convert cruft
like \c{C} to Ç.
I guess I should build a new converter suite (there's also a InDesign
Tags to ConTeXt converter anywhere on my harddisk).
But I won't make GUI apps, just scripts.

[NTG-context] TexPaste alpha - my Win application converting Word/HTML to TeX
Hello, I'm glad to report that I made a simple application (sorry, only forWindows at the moment) that coverts text from Ms Word (or other editors) or HTML pages (web sites) into TeX. DOWNLOAD LINK (280 KB): http://ul.to/hmpy60 The app recognizes at the moment only following formats/tags: Bold (b), Italic (i), Header 1 (h1), Header 2 (h2), Header 3 (h3). It coverts NOBREAK_SPACE (A0) into ~, nbsp into \enskip, quot; into , amp; into \, and lt; gt; into . It is UTF-8 ready. USAGE: copy desired text fragment from Word or web page into clipboard, and click big Get... button and see the result in the bottom field. Click Copy Result to get TeX-formatted text back into the clipboard, and paste it into your editor. KNOW ISSUES: Some crap from Word formatting like !-- -- tags happens to leak, but it is easier at the moment to delete it manually. And sorry... awful interface. It is very-very first alpha, I want to show it just as proof-of-concept and to get some feedback. Actually, I did it for myself to simplyfy conversion from Word into TeX. I have some documents to be converted (e.g., lecture notes), and this happens to be easy task with my tool :).
