    Algebra engine & Place/import LaTeX and Scientific WorkPlace documents

    dtpartner_Suzz Community Member
      For your information: In Scientific WorkPlace (PC), you can typeset complex technical documents with LaTeX, "the industry standard for mathematics typesetting". Publishers and writers of scientific material use LaTeX extensively. When you typeset, LaTeX automatically generates footnotes, indexes, bibliographies, tables of contents, and cross-references.

      The writers of scientific material send me their LaTeX/SWP documents to layout their book. InDesign can not place/import these documents. When these documents are exported to Word the Mathematical formulas will turn into many (more than 100) in-line .eps (RGB) pictures. These pictures need to be updated in illustrator and placed back in InDesign.

      It would be great if InDesign would have a built-in algebra engine
      and the possibility to place/import LaTeX/Scientific WorkPlace documents with mathematical formulas.

      A mathematical font set will also be needed.
