pandoc filter: asciimath -> tex

This pandoc filter converts http://asciimath.org/ to LaTeX (and targets KaTeX's feature set specifically). It is a small wrapper around asciimath2tex.

installation and usage

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/PerpetualCreativity/pandoc-asciimath2tex.git

Then run pandoc:

pandoc --filter [path to pandoc-asciimath2tex]/filter.js --standalone --katex [FILENAME]

I suggest you alias the above to something that's easier to type. I've aliased this to pandoc-am.

If you need to type pure LaTeX, type a @ immediately after the math wrapper symbols (either $@...$ or $$@ ... $$). This is useful if asciimath is not expressive enough, e.g. for nested matrices.

issues

Please open an issue if you find a bug in this filter.

• If Pandoc changes its filter API, pandoc-filter-node might not work - create an issue there.
• If AsciiMath adds a new shortcut and it is not being converted, it has most likely not been added to asciimath2tex - you should consider creating an issue there.
• An example of when this filter would break is when pandoc-filter-node changes its API.
