doc2tex - DOCX ↔ LaTeX Converter

Doc2TeX Ultimate Converter is a beta tool for converting documents between DOCX and LaTeX without losing formatting, tables, images, equations, footnotes, or multilingual content. It helps convert Microsoft Word (.docx) files to LaTeX (.tex) and vice versa. It's meant to be run locally.

Features

• Convert DOCX to LaTeX (preserves headings, bold/italic, tables)
• Convert LaTeX back to DOCX
• Handle simple tables and images
• Local processing (no data sent to cloud)
• Both CLI and Web interfaces

Requirements

You'll need Python 3 and a few libraries:

• python-docx (for word docs)
• PIL (for images)
• Flask (for the web UI)

Install them using:

pip install -r requirements.txt

How to use

1. Simple Command Line (CLI)

To convert a file:

python cli.py my_document.docx

This will create my_document.tex in the same folder.

2. Web Interface

If you prefer a UI, just run:

python web.py

Then open http://localhost:5000 in your browser.

Project Structure

• doc2tex/: Core logic
  • latex.py: DOCX to LaTeX code
  • docx.py: LaTeX to DOCX code
  • converter.py: Orchestrator
• web.py: The Flask server
• cli.py: The terminal tool
• templates/ & static/: Frontend for the web UI

Notes

• This is a student project, so it might not handle very complex LaTeX packages.
• Images need to be in the folder where the .tex file is.
• For bibliography, it tries to extract entries but it's basic.

Hope this helps with your reports! 🚀
