TWiki to LaTeX Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
TWiki Markup and LaTeX Source exist for different jobs: TWiki is the enterprise wiki markup of TWiki/Foswiki — ---+ headings, %VARIABLES% and inline tables — still running in many corporate intranets. Convert LaTeX exactly like TEX: into Word, EPUB, HTML or Markdown.
This converter runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly — your files never leave your device, nothing is uploaded, and there are no watermarks, sign-ups or queues. Drop in several files at once to convert them as a batch.
How TWiki compares to LaTeX
| TWiki | LaTeX | |
|---|---|---|
| Structure | TML plain-text (---+, %VAR%, | tables |) | Macro markup language |
| Best for | Intranet wiki migrations | Papers, theses, preprints |

About the TWiki format
TWiki wrote the book on enterprise wikis in the 2000s — the ---+ heading syntax, %VARIABLES% macros and TML tables spread through corporate intranets and spawned the Foswiki fork. A generation of internal documentation lives in this markup, often on servers nobody dares upgrade.
Migrating those intranets is where TWiki conversion earns its keep: Pandoc reads TML headings, lists, tables and wiki links, and re-emits them as Markdown for Confluence-era platforms or as Word/HTML for frozen archives.
+Strengths
- ✓Purpose-built for structured intranet knowledge
- ✓Macro variables enable templated pages
- ✓Huge installed base in enterprises
!Limitations
- −Enterprise decline after the Foswiki split
- −Variables and plugins rarely survive conversion
- −Legacy tooling only
About the LaTeX format
LaTeX is how academia writes: preprints, theses, journal submissions and most of arXiv and Springer's back-catalogue are LaTeX sources. A .tex file is plain text with markup commands — \\section{…}, $math$, \\cite{…} — that a compiler turns into perfectly typeset PDF with numbered equations, cross-references and bibliographies.
Converting into LaTeX is the boring 80% of the academic workflow: your Markdown notes, Word draft or EPUB becomes a .tex skeleton with proper sectioning and math, ready to paste into the journal's template. The output here is source, not a compiled PDF — the final typesetting happens in the journal's or arXiv's own compiler.
+Strengths
- ✓The required format for arXiv and most journals
- ✓Math, cross-references and citations as first-class citizens
- ✓Plain text — version-controllable and diff-able
!Limitations
- −Not directly viewable — needs a LaTeX compiler
- −Steep learning curve for manual editing
- −Complex layouts may need template tweaks

Frequently asked questions
Is this TWiki to LaTeX converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily conversion limits. The site is supported by advertising.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device — that is what makes it instant and private.
Does it work on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android?
Yes. Anything with a modern browser works: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. No software installation is required.
Is there a file size limit for TWiki to LaTeX?
The only limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded. Files up to a few hundred megabytes work fine on a modern desktop browser; very large files simply take a little longer.
Can I edit the LaTeX result afterwards?
That depends on the target: LaTeX is designed for what it does, and this converter reproduces its content faithfully rather than inventing editable structure. For heavy re-editing, work from a format built for editing and export the final version here.
Will the layout of my TWiki file be preserved exactly?
This converter renders your TWiki content into LaTeX with pages, proportions and images kept as close to the original as the target format allows. Use the preview before downloading to confirm it looks the way you expect.
