pylatexenc

Simple LaTeX parser providing latex-to-unicode and unicode-to-latex conversion

Unicode Text to LaTeX code

The pylatexenc.latexencode module provides a function unicode_to_latex()which converts a unicode string into LaTeX text and escape sequences. It shouldrecognize accented characters and most math symbols. A couple of switches allowyou 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 LaTeXcode, written on to the standard output.

A third party plug-in for Vimvim-latexencodeby @Konfektprovides a corresponding command to operate on a given range.

Parsing LaTeX code & converting to plain text (unicode)

The pylatexenc.latexwalker module provides a series of routines that parsethe LaTeX structure of given LaTeX code and returns a logical structure ofobjects, which can then be used to produce output in another format such asplain text. This is not a replacement for a full (La)TeX engine, rather, thismodule provides a way to parse a chunk of LaTeX code as mark-up code.

The pylatexenc.latex2text module builds up on top ofpylatexenc.latexwalker and provides functions to convert given LaTeX code toplain text with unicode characters.

You can also run latex2text in command-line to convert LaTeX input (eitherfrom the standard input, or from files given on the command line) into plaintext written on the standard output.
