SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Finalizes a synced thesis by converting Word OMML equations into MathType objects to produce a submission-ready document with consistent math formatting.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Converts inline, display, and numbered equations from OMML to MathType using a local Word+MathType setup.
  • Performs a preliminary environment probe to ensure Word, MathType, and the template are available, then runs a controlled finalization pass on a copied DOCX version.
  • Produces a new versioned output file, with guidance for manual checks and fallback behavior if tooling is unavailable.

Quick Start

Run the environment probe to verify setup, then execute the convert_docx_to_mathtype.ps1 script against a copied DOCX to generate a finalized vX.docx.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert Word OMML equations to MathType in a thesis docx?

Converting OMML equations to MathType objects requires running a controlled finalization script on a copied DOCX, transforming inline, display, and numbered math into formatted MathType objects.

Do I need MathType and Word installed to finalize thesis equations?

Yes, converting OMML to MathType requires a local Word and MathType setup. A preliminary environment probe verifies both applications and the template are available before executing the conversion.

What happens if Word or the template is unavailable during OMML conversion?

If tooling is unavailable, the workflow triggers explicit fallback behavior and provides guidance for manual checks rather than completing the automated OMML to MathType conversion pass.

How does a Markdown-to-DOCX synced thesis handle versioning after math conversion?

After converting math, the workflow applies a final versioning step to produce a new versioned output file, creating a finalized vX.docx submission-ready document.

Can I convert both inline and display math from OMML to MathType?

Yes, the conversion script transforms inline, display, and numbered equations from OMML to MathType objects, applying consistent math formatting across the entire thesis document.

Why does my synced thesis need OMML equations converted to MathType objects?

Converting OMML equations to MathType objects ensures consistent math formatting in a Markdown-to-DOCX synced thesis, producing a finalized document that meets submission-ready standards.
