PRIME AND LATEX

[ppal]

I landed here

https://community.ptc.com/t5/Mathcad/LaTeX-and-or-TeX/td-p/47079

and then wanted to use things mentioned here:

conversion - How do I convert HTML to LaTeX? - TeX - LaTeX Stack Exchange

or Online HTML to LATEX Converter - Vertopal

or CloudConvert

How do I get the correct format file to convert?

I have had no success - 

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Prime will save in Rich Text Format RTF.

There is a RTF to Latex converter that runs from a DOS prompt.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/rtf2latex2e/

Vertopal you mentioned also converts RTF to Latex

This may work

Cheers

Hi @terryhendicott 

Since the equations from Mathcad are images rather than equation scripts, the solution you suggested is not sufficient.

The equations in Mathcad are neither pictures nor equation scripts. They are like fotons (that act like particles in some way, waves in another). For Mathcad equations, the behaviour depends on how you copy them. Read here:

Hi @LucMeekes 

My point is that when you export a Mathcad worksheet to Word (RTF format), all mathematical elements are exported as images, not text. Using images instead of Word's built-in "equation format" renders the document unsuitable for academic submission and necessitates the rewriting of all mathematical elements.
It's strange that Mathcad doesn't support direct export to LaTeX format.

As mentioned in several other threads, this is a very long-standing feature request.  That request has specifically mentioned the ability to produce a near-publication quality LaTeX document.  Some publications require Microsoft Equation Editor format. It is quite frustrating that Mathcad doesn't go that extra quarter mile in allowing documents to be prepared for publication in many journals.

I support @VladimirN's suggestion that you create a suitable feature request if you are a support customer.   I've only found one reference, in a comment to another idea, to LaTeX in the Ideas forum at https://community.ptc.com/t5/Mathcad-Ideas/Ability-to-paste-several-selected-objects-from-a-Mathcad-Prime/idc-p/803262/highlight/true#M1727, so a feature request would be a welcome step forward.
