✨ FLATLATEX(1) ✨

okay bestie, sit DOWN, because this one is genuinely so useful 💖 this is flatlatex, a little Python3 queen whose whole job is taking your LaTeX math and turning it into flat unicode text. no cap. it's giving "I want my equations to look cute in a plain text file" and honestly? ate. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

flatlatex — a Python3 LaTeX math converter to unicode text 🦋

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

the way you call her is literally just this:

usage: flatlatex [-h] [-C] [-Z] input

and what she does, fr fr, is Convert latex entries to flat unicode ✨ that's the whole vibe check. latex in, flat unicode out, no drama, no broken formatting, just clean text you can paste anywhere. 😭👑

🍓 positional arguments:

  • input — the latex string you want converted, bestie. this is the thing she's gonna chew on and spit back out as unicode. 💖

🌈 optional arguments:

  • -h, --help — shows this help message and then dips (exits). iconic behaviour honestly. 🫶
  • -C, --disallow-combinings — Disallow combining characters to be used. so like, she won't reach for the combining-character route at all. strict queen energy. 💅
  • -Z, --disallow-zero-width — Disallow zero-width characters to be used. zero-width stuff is banned, periodt. if you need your output to be squeaky clean with nothing invisible lurking in there, this is your girl. ✨

👑 SEE ALSO 👑
