MathTypeToMathML

This gem can be used to convert MathType equations from a binary format (e.g. embedded in Word documents) to an open MathML representation. It achieves that in several stages, first using the mathtype gem to convert from a binary to an XML form of MTEF, and second, using XSLTs to convert XML to MathML.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'mathtype_to_mathml'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install mathtype_to_mathml

Usage

To convert a MathType equation embedded in a Word document (the file is usually named something like oleObject1.bin):

mathml = MathTypeToMathML::Converter.new(`oleObject1.bin`).convert

This will return a MathML string of the MathType equation.

Testing

Run bundle exec rspec to run specs. Additionally, you can create a visual output using html_output.rb, like so:

bundle exec ruby spec/html_output.rb > test.html
