Conversión from Markdown with TeX formula into docx

Conversión from Markdown with TeX formula into docx

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1476 bytes --]


Hi,

I am trying to convert a markdown file with latex formula into docx but I 
got the error message below:
```
pandoc essay.md \
--citeproc \ 
--from=markdown+tex_math_single_backslash+tex_math_dollars \ 
--to=docx \ 
--output=build/essay.docx \
--mathjax

[WARNING] Could not convert TeX math ' 
f(a)=\frac{1}{2πi}∮_γ\frac{f(z)}{z-a}\,dz. \tag{1} \label{eq:1} ', 
rendering as TeX: f(a)=\frac{1}{2πi}∮_γ\frac{f(z)}{z-a}\,d ^ unexpected "{" 
expecting "%", "\\label", "\\nonumber" or whitespace [WARNING] Could not 
convert TeX math '\eqref{eq:1}', rendering as TeX: \eqref{eq:1} ^ 
unexpected "{" expecting "%", "\\label", "\\nonumber" or whitespace 
```

I am running pandoc on this directory: 
https://github.com/jaantollander/Markdown-Templates/tree/master/essay

I manage to convert properly the markdown file to pdf and html. It is only 
the docx conversion that doesn't work. 
I have certainly done a beginner mistake and would appreciate any advices 
to get the docx conversion working! 

Thank you, 

Loïc

Re: Conversión from Markdown with TeX formula into docx

[John MacFarlane]

You haven't made any mistakes.  It works for pdf and html
because, in these formats, the tex formulas can be passed
through unchanged. But for docx, we need to convert it to
Word's XML equation format, and in this case there's something
pandoc (actually the texmath library) can't handle.

Actually it's just the \tag command that is causing the problem.
You should be able to work around that by adding the following to your
essay.md (in a paragraph by itself):

\renewcommand{\tag}[1]{}

Thank you very much John for the quick reply. Do you think it is possible 
to do that in a filter? so I will not have to change the content of my .md 
file? I just discovered https://github.com/jgm/pandocfilters

By the way, I tried your method and it worked. I still have a warning   for 
the equation reference:
```
[WARNING] Could not convert TeX math '\eqref{eq:1}', rendering as TeX:
  \eqref{eq:1}
        ^
  unexpected "{"
  expecting "%", "\\label", "\\nonumber" or whitespace
```
 Any suggestions on how to fix it?  I attached a minimal example of the 
markdown file I am using below:

```
---

\renewcommand{\tag}[1]{}

### Test Equation
Cauchy's integral formula [@dixon1971brief]

$$
f(a)=\frac{1}{2πi}∮_γ\frac{f(z)}{z-a}\,dz.
\tag{1}
\label{eq:1}
$$



As seen in equation $\eqref{eq:1}$, duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

<!-- \renewcommand\tcap{Table styles. \label{tab:1}} -->

The same approach should work (mutatis mutandis) for \eqref.

Thank you John it worked perfectly!

A last question: I would like to avoid changing my markdown file because I 
am exporting its content to different format (html, pdf). I tried to 
include the changes above in a  file  ( mutedocxeqref.tex):

```
more layout/mutedocxeqref.tex                               ⏎ ✹ ✭ 19:00:02
            \renewcommand{\tag}[1]{}
            \renewcommand{\eqref}[1]{} 
```

In order to load them in a separate file when I execute the pandoc command:
```
pandoc article.md \
--citeproc \
--from=markdown+tex_math_single_backslash+tex_math_dollars+raw_tex  \
--to=docx \
--output=build/article.docx \
--mathjax \
--include-before-body="layout/mutedocxeqref.tex"

```

but it doesnt work. The file doesn't seem to be read. Any idea how I could 
tackle this problem?

Re: Conversión from Markdown with TeX formula into docx

[John MacFarlane]

--include-before-body just inserts stuff into the template after
processing, so it doesn't affect parsing.

What you should do instead is

pandoc layout/mutedocxeqref.tex article.md \
--citeproc \
--from=markdown+tex_math_single_backslash+tex_math_dollars+raw_tex  \
--to=docx \
--output=build/article.docx \
--mathjax \

Thank you very much for the help it worked like a charm :-) I don't know 
why I didn't think about the simplest solution earlier...
