Yet another LaTeX filter
Project description
YaLafi: Yet another LaTeX filter
This Python package extracts plain text from LaTeX documents. Due to the following characteristics, the software may be integrated with a proofreading tool:
- tracking of character positions during text manipulations,
- simple inclusion of own LaTeX macros and environments with tailored treatment,
- careful conservation of text flows,
- detection of trailing interpunction in equations,
- proper handling of nestable LaTeX elements like {} braces.
A more complete description, including an interface to the plug-in vim-grammarous for Vim, is available at the GitHub page. For instance, the LaTeX input
Only few people\footnote{We use
\textcolor{red}{redx colour.}}
is lazy.
will lead to the subsequent output from example application script yalafi/shell/shell.py. The script invokes LanguageTool as proofreading software, using a local installation or the Web server hosted by LanguageTool.
