About the Project

The HWP to LaTeX Converter is an open-source initiative designed to bridge the gap between Hangul Word Processor (HWP) documents and the global scientific typesetting standard, LaTeX.

Developed with performance and privacy in mind, the core conversion engine is written in Go and compiled to WebAssembly (WASM). This architecture allows the entire conversion process to run directly in your web browser without sending any of your sensitive document data to an external server.

How It Works

When you visit this site, a lightweight WASM module (`main.wasm`) is downloaded to your browser. This module contains the logic to parse HWP equation syntax and translate it into equivalent LaTeX commands.

1. Input: You paste the HWP equation script.
2. Processing: The browser passes this text to the WASM module.
3. Output: The module returns the LaTeX string, which is then rendered visually using MathJax.

Technical Details

Technology Stack

• Core Logic: Go (Golang)
• Frontend: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript
• Runtime: WebAssembly (WASM)
• Math Rendering: MathJax

For Developers

The project is structured as follows:

cmd/
  wasm/     # Go entrypoint for WASM build
  server/   # Optional HTTP server fallback
converter/  # Core conversion logic package
web/        # Static frontend assets

Contact & Support

We are constantly working to improve the accuracy of translations. If you encounter an equation that doesn't convert correctly, please let us know.
