Converts LaTeX tables to Excel worksheets for easy manipulation
GPL-3.0 License
This script consumes a LaTeX source code file containing multiple tabular environments and generates an Excel workbook where each table is stored in an individual worksheet. In addition to traditional commands like \hline
and \multicolumn
, many commands from the booktabs
package are also supported. I wrote this script during my tenure as a research assistant.
