HowTo Conversion

the conversion tool is available from:

• http://www.langsci-press-gug.org/doc2tex
• http://langsci-press.org/templatesAndTools (bottom)

It takes a file of type *docx or *odt and converts it into a *tex file. This file can then be joined with our other files and be forwarded to overleaf.

The code for the web application is here https://github.com/langsci/lsp-converters/tree/master/webapp

The python scripts used for conversion are found in the Python Package Index (PyPI) and also on https://github.com/langsci/pypi

The converter calls the program writer2latex/w2l with the following options:

    "-wrap_lines_after=0",
    "-multilingual=false",  
    "-simple_table_limit=10"

    "-use_bibtex=true",
