Subject: [O] advice please: best way to export to DOC(X) with maths
Message-ID: <87ind9pkof....@gmail.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Hello,
almost all the writing I do that is intended to be exported will be
exported to LaTeX. However, every now and again I need to export to
DOC/DOCX.
My query is: what is the best way (i.e. the state of the art) currently
in org to export to DOC/DOCX for text that has equations? I have both
inline maths, e.g. \(i \in [0,n]\) and displayed equations. Is there a
route that will convert these to something Word et al. can process
directly, other than images? Maybe via pandoc?
Thanks,
eric

I only know how to do a rough approximation by means of pandoc:
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
pandoc -f org+smart my-original.org -t docx+smart -o my-output.docx
#+END_SRC
for slightly older versions of pandoc, this may work (there is an
equivalent for the references, I think):
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
pandoc -f org+smart --bibliography=../../References.bib
my-original.org -o my-output.doc
#+END_SRC
I used to have a better solution, but at some point it stopped working.
I didn't ask here, because 1/2 of my questions go under the radar, and I
don't like to bug people with my issues:
To get a working file, first export to odt with Org-mode
(~C-c C-e o o~), and then run this (you can do ~C-c C-c~
on it; make sure that LibreOffice is not running)
#+BEGIN_SRC shell :results none
libreoffice --headless --convert-to doc ./my-.odt
#+END_SRC
For the latter, I used to have
#+OPTIONS: tex:dvipng
A better solution would be most appreciated.
