"Adding Further Mathematical Facilities to a LaTeX to RTF Convertor"

Supervised by A.Cowling

Abstract

This project extended an existing system that converted LaTeX source files into the Rich Text Format. Additions and improvements were made in three increments, improving the operation of the system at each stage.

The commands implemented during this project include displayed material, footnotes and an improved representation of tables and arrays. Numbered equations were catered for along with cross-references and the bibliography environment. Finally, as technique was developed to allow complex mathematical formulae to be included in the RTF document.

As a result of this project, the general robustness of the system has been improved, and it is now much more capable of converting any supplied LaTeX source file.
