1. Re: How to handle TeX/LaTeX equations in InDesign?
P Spier Dec 11, 2010 8:41 AM (in response to Praveen10)I don't mean to pick on you, here, but why do so many people seem to think that complex conversion utilities for specialized formats should be available at little or no cost? This is not a trivial task.
Have you searched the forum for LaTex? I'm sure you'll find a great deal of advice about how to proceed, or about the impossibility of the task.

Praveen10 Dec 11, 2010 9:01 AM (in response to P Spier)Hi Peter,
Thanks for the response.
For points 1 and 3, I decided to convert the LaTeX contents to XML to fix the linking using automation thro' JS. For point 2, I'm still studying to find a solution and since this is the first time we've recd. this request, we're not ready to invest for one title.
Thanks again,
Praveen

alexlaurin Oct 17, 2013 4:14 PM (in response to Praveen10)A simple and free (read dirty) way to do this, assuming you also have illustrator, is to install the LaTex fonts (CMU suite) on Illustrator, or better yet, on your machine.They are freeware, as everything Tex. You can then link to the Illustrator file. The caviat is that your text is now conceived as images in InDesign, but you can change the size of your font in Illustrator to match you document.
