Input and output filters

Version: 3.5x, 4.x, 5.x - Scientific WorkPlace, Scientific Word, & Scientific Notebook

The program uses filters to convert to and from various document formats.

Available input filters:

• LaTeX

• non-SWP/SW LaTeX—Version 5.5

• ASCII or ANSI

• Rich Text Format (RTF)

• Wrapped files (.rap or .msg)—opened as LaTeX files

• T3toTeX—SWP and SW only

• Certain TI, HP, and Casio files (*.txt)

Available output filters:

• SWP, SW, and SNB (*.tex)—The LaTeX filter uses tcilatex.tex, a collection of macros, to create the constructs in your document.

• Portable LaTeX—The Portable LaTeX filter writes internal constructs using macros found only in standard LaTeX packages. It doesn't include tcilatex.tex.

• RTF—With or without MathType.

• HTML (Internet Explorer 5.5 and IE 6)

• XHTML (Firefox/IE6 with MathPlayer2)(.xht)

• Wrapped files—You can wrap documents in two formats:

  • .rap—for version 3.0 and higher of SWP and SW. When you wrap documents as .rap files, the program uses the Portable LaTeX filter.

  • .msg—for version 2.5 of SWP and SW and for SNB. When you wrap documents as .msg files, the program uses the LaTeX filter.

  When you unwrap a document, the program opens the files as LaTeX files.
