Simple LaTeX parser providing latex-to-unicode and unicode-to-latex conversion
The pylatexenc.latexencode module provides a function unicode_to_latex()
which converts a unicode string into LaTeX text and escape sequences. It should
recognize accented characters and most math symbols. A couple of switches allow
you to alter how this function behaves.
You can also run latexencode in command-line to convert plain unicode text
(from the standard input or from files given on the command line) into LaTeX
code, written on to the standard output.
A third party plug-in for Vim vim-latexencode by @Konfekt provides a corresponding command to operate on a given range.
The pylatexenc.latexwalker module provides a series of routines that parse
the LaTeX structure of given LaTeX code and returns a logical structure of
objects, which can then be used to produce output in another format such as
plain text. This is not a replacement for a full (La)TeX engine, rather, this
module provides a way to parse a chunk of LaTeX code as mark-up code.
The pylatexenc.latex2text module builds up on top of
pylatexenc.latexwalker and provides functions to convert given LaTeX code to
plain text with unicode characters.
You can also run latex2text in command-line to convert LaTeX input (either
from the standard input, or from files given on the command line) into plain
text written on the standard output.
