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 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.

Parsing LaTeX code & converting to plain text (unicode)

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.
