I often have to write up reports based on the analysis of some data. I use R to analyse the data and export tables, figures, and text. This is then included into a LaTeX document either using input or Sweave ().  However, when I collaborate with others, I sometimes need to provide a document in Open Office / MS Word format.  Question:  Thus, assume the simplest scenario   I have a LaTeX document with text, tables, and figures I need to export this reliably into Open Office or MS Word format: this includes mathematical formulas, table formatting, and quality figures) I don't need to go back from MS Word to LaTeX   What is a reliable, efficient, and preferably free process?  Initial Thoughts:   Export to HTML,  LaTeX - LyX - ODF Use odfWeave  that deals with some specific issues associated with LaTeX to Open Office conversion    I was hoping that there is an expert out there who has worked out a good system already.

There are many different kind of options that you can do  in order to start using LaTeX on Ubuntu. I would prefer doing that through Eclipse, but if there is a better way of doing it, feel free to write your opinion on why using this instead of something else.

I would like to create this sheet which was made it by adobe indesign   Could someone create it with latex ?     Here's my code:  \documentclass[12pt,a4paper,twocolumn]{report} \usepackage[margin=0.5in]{geometry} \usepackage[french]{babel} \usepackage{fontspec} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{amsthm,amssymb,amsfonts,mathtools} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage{multicol} \usepackage{multirow} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{array} \usepackage{graphicx} \setlength{\columnseprule}{0.5pt} \thispagestyle{empty} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \begin{document} %%%%%%%%%%head%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \twocolumn[    \begin{@twocolumnfalse}  \begin{center}  \fbox{\Large Exercise Sheets} \end{center}     \hrulefill \end{@twocolumnfalse}   ]  %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%  \fbox{ Exercise $1$:}\\  Compute the following limits \begin{multicols}{2} \begin{enumerate} \item $\lim_{x\to 2}\dfrac{4x^{3}-5x-22}{x^{2}-x-2}$ \item $\lim_{x\to 0^{+}}\dfrac{x-\sqrt{x}}{x+\sqrt{x}}$ \item $\lim_{x\to 1}\dfrac{\sqrt{x+3}+\sqrt{x}-3}{x-1}$ \item $\lim_{x\to 2}\dfrac{x^{2}\sqrt{x+2}-8}{4-x^{2}}$ \end{enumerate} \end{multicols}  %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \fbox{ Exercise $2$:}\\ Let $n\in\mathbb{N}^{*}$ \begin{enumerate}     \item calculate : ${\displaystyle \lim_{x\to 0}\dfrac{1-\cos(x)\cos(2x)\ldots+\cos(nx)}{x^2} }$     \item b     \item c     \item d     \item e     \item f \end{enumerate} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \end{document}

I've used LaTeX a lot in the past, but now, when comparing with StackExchange's great , I find it tedious, for short documents (&lt; 2 pages), to have to use pure LaTeX. For a short document, instead of having 30 lines as introduction: \begin{document} \documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article} \usepackage[frenchb]{babel} \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{amsfonts}  + &lt;lots of other things&gt; ...  I'd like to write my short document with MarkDown + Math, like on . Question: Is there an offline compiler such that compilemarkdown exercice.tex  would produce a PDF from this: #Title  Here is a *short document* including Markdown and Math, here is the equation:  $$f(x)=x^2$$  ___  Proof: ...   This is **bold**.

Internally, what causes latex.exe to be unable to import *.jpg, *.png, *.pdf directly?

I'm currently using doxygen to generate some documentation for a project,  and doxygen generate some LaTeX code that then can be used to generate a nice pdf.  But let's say I would like to write another document, and in that document include the doxygen generated LaTeX code as a part of that document.   How would I do that? Has anybody done this type of stuff?    My try is to get the code, generate the LaTeX code without the "header". So I end up with a dir called code/doc/latex/, seen from the place where I have my own main.tex.  And try in include that LaTeX code from my main.tex with input.  \input{ code/doc/latex/refman.tex }   But when I try to include the code/doc/latex/refman.tex (the doxygen, main.tex),  he complains that he can't find the other LaTeX files that was generated by doxygen. It seems like he is searching in the same dir as my main.tex and not in code/doc/latex/.  This is more or less how the refman.tex looks like:  \chapter{Todo List} \label{todo} \hypertarget{todo}{} \input{todo} \chapter{Class Index} \input{annotated} \chapter{File Index} \input{files} \chapter{Class Documentation} \include{struct__offsetChannel} \include{struct__offsetPixel} \include{struct__tPixel} ... ...   Any ideas would be welcome.  A solution could be to write a script that edits all the generated LaTeX code, and simply adds this path but this seems like a overly complicated solution.    Update:  The error I get is like this one  ! LaTeX Error: File `todo.tex' not found.     Update:  If I change all the \input \include and \includegraphics like this it works.  \input{todo} -&gt; \input{code/doc/latex/todo}   But there must be a way to make LaTeX understand that he should look into the code/doc/latex/ for the code?

I know there are some command-line applications like pdflatex that can help me to compile a LaTex document from C#.Net (using the System.Diagnostics.Process class) .   I wanna know that what's the best command-line tool for compiling a TeX document ?

I once saw a latex template, which you could use to create a Chat-Like document which has an appearance similar to current mobile chat applications (i.e. iMessage or Whatsapp).  I am of course looking for a static document compiled by latexor pdflatex and not a dynamic chat program.  I remember that I saw something similar done in LaTeX already, but I was not able to find it again.  I can imagine, that this has been done with tikz before.  Example images:

Is there a program equivalent to lint for LaTeX? (lint checks C code for syntax errors and possible mistakes.)

Does anyone know of any LaTeX modules that makes the pdf output generated by pdflatex / compliant?  Specifics:   With regard to math. One simple solution is to embed the latex equation as an alt tag. Simpler, and IMO better than translating to MathML. With regard to graphics. I use dot to generate the graphics. A simple solution here is to embed the .dot file as an alt tag for the figure.   Is there any way to generate alt tags with pdflatex?

Is there a way to cat or less a .odt file just as antiword does for .doc files?

I have two XML outputs from a program that I would like to include in a LaTeX document. I would like them to appear side-by-side each in its own box. So that a reader can compare the two outputs while reading the document. Can't seem to find a way to do this, without making images for each output and adding both as images/graphics. Could there be a better option?

Several times now I have inadvertently lost the .tex file that generated a PDF file with pdflatex. Given what I know of the internal structure of PDF files, it should be possible to embed a text file containing the original LaTeX file into the PDF file so that it can be extracted later.   I am aware of no technology for doing this, but perhaps you are. Does anybody have something like this?

I've got a very large document (which I've broken into "chapters" and such) which I've recently moved a few things around in.  Is there a nice way to get latex to output a list of forward references? (like, things in chapter 5 that reference a result in chapter 10)

I was looking through some old files recently, and it occurred to me that they might be obsolete in the future.  Are there any steps that I should take for "archiving" my documents so that they will compile properly on later versions of LaTeX?  I once went to a seminar where it was indicated that the .dvi file can be converted back into a plain TeX file, so would it be the best "archival" document?

I have some documents in LyX/Latex and I want them as a wordpress post. I have tried converting latex to HTML (with latex2html) and afterwards, pasting that code in the wordpress editor but everything looks ugly. Do you know a better approach?

I have a collection of articles written in latex, and I would like to "merge" them into a larger thesis document, in which each article will be a chapter. I have been looking at include and input, which are great if you start with the meta-document in mind. However in my articles I have sometimes a bit exotic dependencies, such as dot2texi, and using the naive approach fails rather abysmally with all kinds of broken paths.  So I was wondering, do you recommend any "best practices" for merging non-trivial documents -- which packages to look at, or to avoid at all cost, etc.  Thanks
