JKQTMATHTEXT_RENDER(1)

💖 NAME 💖

jkqtmathtext_render — bestie, this tool renders LaTeX markup into an image. That's it, that's the whole job. ✨

(Quick vibe check: this page lives in section 1 of the manual, the User Commands chapter, so yeah — it's a command line tool, not some library thing you link against. iykyk.)

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

jkqtmathtext_render [options] latex output

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so like, JKQTMathText is a whole thing, and this is the command line tool that comes with it — it takes your LaTeX markup and 🪄 renders it into an image. No cap. You feed it the markup, you tell it where the picture goes, and it goes. 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -h, --help — shows you the help for the command line options. Your go-to when you're lost, which, real.
• --help-all — same energy but it ALSO shows the generic Qt options too. More help, more better. 🫶
• -v, --version — spills the version info.
• --inputfile <inputfile> — read from a file instead of from command line. So your LaTeX can just vibe in a text file. 📄
• --outputdir <outputdir> — write all the results into this directory.
• --listsymbols <listsymbols> — lists every symbol into the output file you give it, AND generates images for them. Iconic behaviour honestly.
• --listsymbolsfonts <listsymbolsfonts> — the fonts used for listsymbols.
• --drawboxes, --showboxes — draws boxes. ✏️ (two names, same slay)
• --verbose — verbose output, aka it tells you everything it's doing. Chatterbox mode: enabled.
• --guifonts — uses GUI fonts.
• --font <font> — the font( size)s) to use. (Yes, the original literally says font( size)s). I'm not touching that, I'm just reporting. 😭)
• --fontsize <fontsize> — sets the font size.
• --fontroman <fontroman> — sets which roman font gets used in text mode.
• --fontsans <fontsans> — sets which sans font gets used in text mode.
• --fontmathroman <fontmathroman> — sets which roman font gets used in math mode.
• --fontmathsans <fontmathsans> — sets which sans font gets used in math mode.
• --fontfallbacksymbol <fontfallbacksymbol> — sets the fallback symbol font to use. 🆘 for missing glyphs.
• --fontfallbacksymbol_symbolencoding <fontfallbacksymbol_symbolencoding> — sets the fallback symbol font to use and uses the encoding of the MS Symbol font for it.
• --fonttypewriter <fonttypewriter> — sets the typewriter font to use.
• --fontscript <fontscript> — sets the Script font to use. 🖋️
• --fontfraktur <fontfraktur> — sets the Fraktur font to use. fancy gothic moment fr fr
• --fontcaligraphic <fontcaligraphic> — sets the caligraphic font to use.
• --fontblackboard <fontblackboard> — sets the blackboard font to use.
• --fontblackboardmode <fontblackboardmode> — sets the usage mode for the blackboard font.
• --textcolor <textcolor> — sets the color of the text.
• --sizeincrease <sizeincrease> — extra pixels around the output, so your render isn't all up in the edges. 🎀
• --resolution <resolution> — sets the output image resolution, in DPI.
• --background <background> — the background color.

📎 Arguments

• latex — the LaTeX markup you want rendered. This is your moment, main character. 👑
• output — the output image file. The extension decides the file type, so choose wisely bestie. 🖼️

lowkey important: latex and output are positional — options first, then those two, in that order. Don't fight the synopsis, it wins. 💀
