GSoC in AbiWord : Midterm Report

Time truly flies & it's Midterm already ! It has been a truly awesome experience working on AbiWord till now and I hope it continues the same way.

The progress made and the work done till now is as follows:

1. Implemented the MathML to LaTeX Converter for the MathML import either directly from MathML/XML or from ODT. It will also be useful for the Math import from DOCX which is going to be the next step.

2. Now we can edit MathML inside AbiWord \m/, which means we can edit the Math Equations from ODT inside AbiWord, as well as those from the MathML/XML files.

3. Fixed Math Object Import (MathML Import) for opendocument which was broken.

4. Fixed errors in Equation Insert from MathML for Windows.

5. Fixed libxslt related issues in the LaTeX plugin, which used to cause a loss of functionality of the plugin especially in Windows.

6. Removed quite a few Windows Build related errors and also implemented the perl script for automatic conversion of PO files to Strings for Windows.

I'm happy with the work done till now and the fact that all the milestones planned till the Mid-Term have been achieved. It has been wonderful working with the AbiWord Community who have been very helpful, especially my Awesome Mentor Jean Brefort.

The next step now is to implement the Math import/export from/to docx.
