🌸 LATEX2UTF8(1p) — aka the latex2utf8 page 🌸

okay bestie sit DOWN because this little cutie is about to change your whole LaTeX-to-UTF-8 situation 💅 it's a Perl user-contributed manual page, it's giving "small tool, big main character energy", and yes we're reading the whole thing together. no skimming. periodt. ✨

💖 NAME 💖

latex2utf8 — literally just converts LaTeX encoding to UTF-8. that's the whole vibe. that's the assignment. 🎀

🦋 VERSION 🦋

Version 0.04 — tiny number, mighty aura. ⭐

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's how you actually call her, no cap:

latex2utf8 file.tex > utf8file.tex

and if you wanna be fancy and pipe stuff straight in:

echo '\textexclamdown\textctj\alpha\textphook\texthvlig!' | latex2utf8
--scheme full --filter

like… she eats the LaTeX, she serves the UTF-8. iconic. 👑

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so basically: this is a command-line utility that takes a LaTeX-encoded file and converts it to UTF-8. that's it. that's the job. 🫶

and for the usage deets and the options? the manpage is literally telling you to go run this yourself:

latex2utf8 --help

because that output is where the full usage and options live. go look, bestie, i'm not gatekeeping, the tool is. 🙈
