As a researcher, I frequently work with Word files in my daily work. When I want to have AI assistants analyze technical documents containing mathematical equations, I encountered a problem. When you pass Word files directly to LLMs, equations are not correctly recognized. To solve this challenge, I developed eqword2llm . The Challenge: Why Existing Tools Are Insufficient Limitations of Pandoc Pandoc is an excellent conversion tool, but it cannot fully handle Word-specific issues. For example, when converting a document that uses Word's equation numbering feature: Equation with Field Code $ $ \begin {array}{r} \mathbf {E = m} \mathbf {c} ^ { \mathbf {2}} \mathbf { \# } \left ( \mathbf {} \mathbf { \ SEQ \ Equation \ \backslash * \ ARABIC \ } \mathbf {} \mathbf {1} \mathbf {} \right ) \end {array} $ $ Another Equation $ $ \begin {array}{r} \mathbf {F = ma \# } \left ( \mathbf {} \mathbf { \ SEQ \ Equation \ \backslash * \ ARABIC \ } \mathbf {} \mathbf {2} \mathbf {} \rig...
