Why use this converter?
Korean academic documents often use HWP (Hangul Word Processor) for writing mathematical equations. However, when submitting papers to international journals or using modern web platforms, LaTeX is the standard. Manually rewriting complex equations is tedious and error-prone.
Our tool automates this process using a high-performance WebAssembly engine, ensuring your data stays private on your device while delivering instant results. (See our Syntax Guide for more details.)
Common Syntax Mapping
Here is a quick reference for how common HWP commands translate to LaTeX:
| Description | HWP Command | LaTeX Equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| Fractions | a OVER b |
\frac{a}{b} |
| Square Root | SQRT {x} |
\sqrt{x} |
| Summation | sum _{i=1} ^{n} |
\sum_{i=1}^{n} |
| Integration | int _{a} ^{b} |
\int_{a}^{b} |
| Greek Letters | alpha, beta, gamma |
\alpha, \beta, \gamma |
| Limit | lim _{n -> inf} |
\lim_{n \to \infty} |
Detailed Mathematical Syntax Guide
Comprehensive mapping for complex structures and symbols.
| Description | HWP Command | LaTeX Equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| Matrix | matrix {a # b @ c # d} |
\begin{matrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{matrix} |
| Cases | cases {a & b @ c & d} |
\begin{cases} a & b \\ c & d \end{cases} |
| Accents | vec {a}, dot {a}, bar {a} |
\vec{a}, \dot{a}, \bar{a} |
| Delimiters | left ( ... right ) |
\left( ... \right) |
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. The conversion result looks different. Why?
HWP and LaTeX handle spacing and font sizing differently. Our tool aims to preserve the mathematical meaning rather than the exact visual styling. You may need to tweak the output LaTeX code slightly for perfect typesetting in your specific document class.
Q. Does it support all HWP commands?
We support the vast majority of standard mathematical commands used in high school and university mathematics. However, some highly specific or decorative HWP styling commands may be ignored to ensure standard LaTeX compatibility.
Q. Is this tool free to use?
Yes, this HWP to LaTeX converter is completely free for both personal and commercial use. It is an open-source project supported by the community.
Q. Does it support Korean text inside equations?
Yes, it recognizes HWP text commands like `RM {text}` or `\"text\"` and maps them to standard LaTeX `\text{}` or `\mathrm{}` commands.
Q. Can I use this on mobile?
Absolutely! The tool is fully responsive and works perfectly on smartphones and tablets.
Q. How fast is the conversion?
Thanks to WebAssembly, typical conversions take less than 10ms. Even the most complex equations feel instantaneous.
Q. Does it work offline?
Once the page is loaded, the entire engine runs locally. You can continue converting equations even if you lose your internet connection.
Common Conversion Issues & Solutions
Q. Why are there extra braces in the output?
A. Our parser ensures strict precedence by grouping elements. While sometimes redundant visually, it guarantees correct rendering in complex nested equations.
Q. Math rendering is slow or failing.
A. Ensure you are using a modern browser. MathJax rendering requires JavaScript and an active connection for the initial engine download. Still have questions? Check our FAQ or send us feedback below.
Expert Insights: Why Conversion is Difficult
Converting Hangul Word Processor (HWP) files to LaTeX is not a simple string replacement task. HWP uses a unique binary format and a proprietary equation script syntax that dates back to the early 1990s.
For example, HWP handles fractions using the infix operator OVER
(e.g., a OVER b), whereas LaTeX uses the prefix command \frac{a}{b}.
This requires a parsing tree to correctly identify the numerator and
denominator, especially when equations are nested (e.g., a fraction inside a square root inside
another fraction).
Our converter implements a custom recursive descent parser specifically tuned for HWP's eccentricities, ensuring that complex nested structures are translated accurately where regex-based find-and-replace tools would fail. (Learn how we handle complex syntax mapping.)
For performance optimization, the core logic is written in Go. By compiling this to WebAssembly, we enable near-native execution speeds directly within the browser without any server-side processing. This provides users with both massive time savings and total data security.
Our tool generates code compatible with standard LaTeX packages like `amsmath`, ensuring a seamless workflow with editors like Overleaf or VS Code.
We use advanced AST analysis to handle implicit structures in HWP scripts that simple regex tools fail to capture.
Real-world Use Cases
Thesis & Journal Submission
Transfer complex HWP equations to LaTeX templates like Overleaf with zero errors.
Digitalizing Educational Materials
Convert legacy materials to web-standard LaTeX for MathJax or Notion compatibility.
