Writer2LaTeX is a LaTeX/BibTeX export filter and front end for Writer

Description

Writer2LaTeX provides Writer export filters for LaTeX/BibTeX

This enables you to typeset your Writer documents with LaTeX, which does a better job typesetting text,in particular text with formulas. Writer2LaTeX gives you extensive control over the export of formatting. It can convert your document with as much formatting as possible preserved, or you can completely control the LaTeX code generated for each style in the source document – or even remove all formatting.

Furthermore, Writer2LaTeX makes Writer act as a frontend for LaTeX. This feature integrates Writer with your LaTeX installation, and lets you invoke LaTeX and view the resulting file directly from the provided toolbar.

Writer2LaTeX also enables you to use BibTeX as bibliographic database in Writer (this feature can be used independently of the LaTeX export).

Writer2LaTeX requires Java to run. Trouble installing Writer2LaTeX? Please have a look at the installation FAQ
