JavaScript library to convert AsciiMath to TeX

asciimath2tex

JavaScript library to convert AsciiMath to TeX.

I wrote this so I could use KaTeX to render AsciiMath.

Usage

The library is written as an ECMAScript module. As of the end of 2017, support for those in browsers is limited, so I plan to run it through babel to get a browser-usable version.

However, in environments where modules are supported, usage goes like this:

import AsciiMathParser from './asciimath2tex.js';

const parser = new AsciiMathParser();
const tex = parser.parse("int_(i=1)^10 x^2/2 dx");

parser.parse returns a string of TeX.

Tests

There are some unit tests in test.html, copied from the asciimath repository.

All of the tests are rendered correctly by KaTeX, apart from \twoheadrightarrowtail, which it apparently doesn't support.
