LaTeX table to Classic ASP array API

Code examples

These examples send the sample as multipart/form-data and save the returned bytes unchanged. Set TABLECONVERT_API_KEY in your environment.

Request parameters

This input extracts rows containing ampersand-separated table cells. It does not compile TeX or render an entire LaTeX document.

Send one source: data, file, or url. The examples below use the source mode appropriate for this format.

Output options

Generate Dim and indexed assignment text for a Classic ASP / VBScript table fixture. Values are emitted as assignment expressions and require review before execution.

Conversion rules

How the input is read

• Provide the tabular rows needed for conversion, with ampersands between cells and row terminators.
• The importer splits table text; it does not evaluate macros, packages, math or custom column definitions.
• Simplify multicolumn/multirow constructs and literal ampersands before extraction.
• Formatting commands can remain text in extracted cells; clean them when the destination expects plain values.

How the output is written

• Column and row indexes identify cells, and the header row is included.
• The generator does not add string-literal quoting to every assignment value.
• Add correct VBScript quoting and review bounds in your application before running the snippet.

When to use this API

Responses and errors

Check the response before retrying. A new HTTP request is a new conversion and may use credits again.

Limits, billing and versions

Local previews accept up to 200 KB. The current API implementation allows one uploaded file up to 50 MiB, limits each multipart text field to 1 MiB, and gives v2 conversion tasks a 30-second deadline. Deployment limits may be stricter. Read the returned error before retrying; some parser or renderer failures return HTTP 500.

Live calls follow the API credit policy. Failed conversions are refunded; a completed conversion is not undone if the download connection later fails.

References and format specifications

Format references explain the underlying syntax. The conversion rules and samples above describe TableConvert’s implementation.
