SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This editing workflow addresses the tedious back-and-forth between LaTeX and Word by enabling a seamless, trackable round-trip for language editing and manuscript preparation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Two-way round-trip: pack LaTeX projects into Word for copy-editing and unpack edits back into LaTeX.
  • Structured output: generates a Word manuscript and a separate figures-and-tables document to keep visual edits organized.
  • Versioning and diffing support: preserves LaTeX commands and structure while surfacing changes for review.

Quick Start

Pack a LaTeX project into Word and a separate figures-and-tables document, then unpack the edits from Word back into the original LaTeX source.

FAQPage Schema
How do I edit a LaTeX document in Word and sync the changes back?

This LaTeX to Word round-trip workflow packs your LaTeX project into a Word manuscript for copy-editing, then unpacks the tracked edits back into the original LaTeX source while preserving its structure.

Can I preserve LaTeX commands when converting to Word for editing?

Yes, the workflow preserves critical LaTeX constructs and commands during patching. It enforces prerequisites and uses pandoc to ensure your LaTeX structure remains intact throughout the Word editing round-trip.

How do I handle figures and tables when doing a LaTeX to Word round-trip?

The workflow extracts figures and tables into a separate Word document. This structured output keeps visual edits organized and separated from the main manuscript text during the language editing process.

Does pandoc work for a full Word to LaTeX round-trip with track changes?

Yes, this workflow uses pandoc and python-docx to facilitate a full bidirectional round-trip. It translates manuscript edits between formats with versioning, diffing support, and reassembly.

What's the best way to diff language edits between a LaTeX source and a Word document?

The best way is to pack the LaTeX source into Word, apply edits, then unpack the changes back into LaTeX. The workflow surfaces these changes for review while preserving the original LaTeX commands.
