+Subject: New WordPerfect -&gt; LaTeX Translater <BR>
+Date: Thu, 22 Aug 1996 09:16:36 -0400 (EDT) <BR>
+I recently uploaded my WordPerfect -&gt; LaTeX translater, called TeXPerfect,
+to CTAN. It's available in the support directory under texperf
+(.../support/texperf). <BR>
+(The ... stands for a host specific base directory, which often is either
+&quot;/pub/tex&quot; or &quot;/tex-archive&quot;) <BR>
+Full C source is provided, as are executables for both DOS and Linux. The
+00README file in the directory provides more details. John (forkosh "at" panix.com)

+
+<P>Conversion functionality </P>
+
+<P>Some of the LaTeX conversions performed by TeXPerfect are: <BR>
+Suppose your input contains a greek alpha from the WordPerfect character set 8.
+The output will contain $\alpha$ instead. Most of the other special character
+sets provided by WordPerfect are similarly converted. (This conversion is
+table-driven by the data in wpchrset.h, and can be easily augmented or
+modified.) <BR>
+Superscripts, subscripts, bold, italics, etc, are all properly interpreted and
+handled. <BR>
+&quot;Hard&quot; returns in WordPerfect <STRONG>should</STRONG> generate an
+extra blank line, so that LaTeX will see them as paragraphs. That functionality
+is mostly programmed, but a last-minute difficulty prevented me from completing
+it. Also, no attempt is made to generate section/subsection/etc commands. <BR>
+If your running text contains an expression like f(x), TeXPerfect will
+recognize it and surround it with $'s. A variety of other ad hoc
+&quot;rules&quot; are hand-coded into the program to decide when to enter/exit
+math mode. Needless to say, the decision isn't always right. You'll need to
+correct tp's mistakes in Step 2 above. <BR>
+Equations written with WordPerfect's equation editor will be reproduced
+&quot;verbatim&quot; by TeXPerfect, surrounded by \[ and \]. The only
+correction applied is that 1 over 2 becomes 1 \over 2, and similarly for
+various other keywords. But no serious attempt to interpret and translate your
+equation is made. Matrices, etc, will require considerable hand-tweaking on
+your part. But at least you'll have what you originally wrote right in front of
+your eyes. <BR>
+A little LaTeX preamble, etc, is provided, primarily for &quot;cosmetic&quot;
+purposes. WordPerfect's margin settings, etc, are <STRONG>not</STRONG>
+interpreted to construct this preamble. You'll have to modify that information
+yourself. </P>
+
+<P>Warnings </P>
+
+<P>TeXPerfect was written to interpret files formatted by WordPerfect 5.1 for
+DOS. When run against 5.1 files, TeXPerfect is pretty robust. But, for this
+release, I commented out the lines that check the version number. If you're
+using WP/Win, it can prepare output in 5.1 format. I'd recommend you do that
+before using TeXPerfect. <BR>
