How LATEX Handles XLS Data
LaTeX Source is known for identical to .tex — same LaTeX typesetting capabilities. This means your converted output will benefit from LaTeX Source's core strengths. Meanwhile, the original Excel 97-2003's advantage of backward compatibility with Excel 97 and later may not fully carry over, depending on LaTeX Source's capabilities. Artifacts — unwanted visual or auditory imperfections — are minimized through Xonvert's tuned encoding parameters. Since LaTeX Source is lossless, no artifacts are introduced during conversion. Both formats are lossless, ensuring zero quality difference between input and output.
