# starting and ending tags for the converted equations like $symbol [closed] i am using rtf2latex2e application in windows 8.1 . it is working great.but i have small problem on working with that . i am not find the starting and ending of the equation from my .net application . kindly tell me any logic for this problem. is there is any way to place a symbol like$ at starting and ending of the tags

eg :

(121)3×11÷(1331)2=(11)?

(121)\textsuperscript{3}\ensuremath{\times}11÷(1331)\textsuperscript{2}=(11)\textsuperscript{?}

(121)$\textsuperscript{3}\ensuremath{\times}$ 11÷(1331)$\textsuperscript{2}$=(11)$\textsuperscript{?}$


is it possible kindly help me

• This question does not fall within the scope of TeX, LaTeX or related typesetting systems as defined in the help center.

• This question appears to be off-topic because it is asking for ways to (re)program the app rtf2latex2e. – Mico Sep 16 '14 at 21:42

I don't know what exactly rtf2latex2e does, but ideally it wouldn't be using \textsuperscript to typeset the superscript items of a mathematical expression. It should be using ^ (the "caret" symbol) for this job. There should also be just a single pair of $ symbols to mark the start and stop of the expression, and no \ensuremath directives. \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amssymb,amsmath} \begin{document}$(121)^3\times11\div(1331)^2=(11)^{\text{?}}\$

• If the output you've shown in your posting is at all typical for what rtf2latex2e does with math expressions, you're probably better off hand-editing the equations rather than "teach" rtf2latex2e how to do a better job. – Mico Sep 16 '14 at 19:44
• @MadhanSeeman - From the documentation of the rtf2latex2e app: "RTF is not a typesetting language and there is a pretty serious mismatch between the capabilities and assumptions inherent in the RTF and TeX formats. The resulting document will need some editing." In short, if the limitations of rtf2latex2e stem importantly from the limitations of RTF, there is no way around hand-editing the file to obtain satisfactory code. – Mico Sep 16 '14 at 20:01
