tex2typ 0.0.3

A Python CLI tool for converting LaTeX equations into Typst equations

tex2typ

A Python CLI tool for converting LaTeX equations into Typst equations and back

Quick start as a uv tool (recommended)

uvx tex2typ <YourLaTeXEquation> <options>

Example:

uvx tex2typ "\boldsymbol{H^i} = -\frac{1}{j\omega\mu_0}\nabla\times\boldsymbol{E^i}" -c

Will return and copy to clipboard:

$ bold(H^i) = - frac(1, j omega mu_0) nabla times bold(E^i) $

Installation

tex2typ requires Pandoc and Typst to be installed

• Pandoc installation: https://pandoc.org/installing.html
• Typst installation: https://github.com/typst/typst

tex2typ is hosted on PyPI and can be installed through uv or pip. We recommend using it as a uvx tool: uv:

uvx tex2typ

Running CLI

If using a virtual env or conda, run

uvx tex2typ <YourEquation> <options>

Where -c automatically copies the resulting Typst equation to your clipboard, and -r allows you to convert back from Typst to LaTeX.

Example:

uvx tex2typ "\boldsymbol{H^i} = -\frac{1}{j\omega\mu_0}\nabla\times\boldsymbol{E^i}" -c

Which will return and copy to the clipboard:

$ bold(H^i) = - frac(1, j omega mu_0) nabla times bold(E^i) $

Typst to LaTeX

By providing the -r option, one can convert from typst to LaTeX. Example:

uvx run tex2typ "bold(H^i) = - frac(1, j omega mu_0) nabla times bold(E^i)" -r

Will return:

\mathbf{H^i} = -\frac{1}{j\omega\mu_0}\nabla\times\mathbf{E^i}

Options:

• -c or --copy: Copy the result to your clipboard
• -r or --reverse: Convert from Typst to LaTeX (default is LaTeX to Typst)
