Syncfusion® Essential® DocIO is a .NET Core Word Library used to create, read, edit, and convert Word documents programmatically without Microsoft Word or interop dependencies. Using this library, you can convert equations in a Word document to LaTeX using C#.

Steps to convert equations in a Word document to LaTeX using C#

1. Create a new C# Console application project.
   
   
2. Install the Syncfusion.DocIO.Net.Core NuGet package as a reference to your project from NuGet.org.
   
   

3. Include the following namespace in the Program.cs file:
   C#

using Syncfusion.DocIO.DLS;

4. Use the following code snippet to convert equations in a Word document to LaTeX:
   C#

// Open a Word document using File stream.
using (FileStream inputStream = new FileStream("../../../Input.docx", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
{
    // Open the existing Word document.
    using (WordDocument document = new WordDocument(inputStream, FormatType.Docx))
    {
        List<Entity> entities = document.FindAllItemsByProperty(EntityType.Math, null, null);

        // Iterate through each equation in the Word document.
        foreach (Entity entity in entities)
        {
            WMath math = entity as WMath;
            // Get the LaTeX code of the equation.
            string laTeX = math.MathParagraph.LaTeX;
            // Print the LaTeX equation.
            Console.WriteLine(laTeX + "\n");
        }
    }
}
