Usage

Basic Usage

• txc '\prod_{i=0}^n\ x ~=~ x^n' to output Unicode art
  • replace your own TeX equation inside quotes
  • use single quotes
  • if expression contains single quotes like f'(x), replace with f\'(x)
  • \[ \], \( \), $ $, or $$ $$ is optional, \begin{} \end{} is not supported yet
• Add -c at the end of the command to output in color (black on white)
• Unsupported commands will be rendered as ?, or raise an error. If you see these or other rendering flaws, please post an issue, most can be easily fixed.

Rendering Math in Markdown

• txc -f filename.md to replace latex expressions in markdown files with Unicode art in text blocks.
• Pipe into a markdown renderer like glow for ultimate markdown previewing:

Here is example.md rendered with txr -f example.md -c | glow, using the JuliaMono font.

Features

• Supports most LaTeX math commands
• Uses Unicode
  • Not limited to ASCII characters
  • Unicode italic glyphs are used to differentiate functions from letters, similar to LaTeX
• Works with any good terminal font
  • Does not use any legacy glyphs
  • Go to src/arts.py, comment/uncomment some parts if your font support legacy glyphs to get even better symbols
