Hi everyone,
Some time ago, I asked for a framework that would allow me to write valid latex math from Pharo (in a similar way that I used to do with pylatex in Python) see the thread here: http://forum.world.st/Generate-latex-from-Pharo-td4826739.html. From now, it does not support all the possible math commands of latex but you can already do things like:
(Phi equal: ((1 asMathex + 5 asMathex sqrt) // 2)) equation asString.
and get:
\begin{equation} \phi=\frac{ 1 +\sqrt{ 5 }}{ 2 }\end{equation}
I think that's great news! One of Pillar's feature requests is to let users write LaTeX (e.g., formulas) in their pillar document and get nice results in all exports (LaTeX, HTML, ePub...): https://github.com/pillar-markup/pillar/issues/18. I'm not sure how this request fits in your work, but there might be some intersection.
I guess if a latex math parser is created, it is possible to use objects from Mathex to represent an equation as Mathex objects. After that the translation to html should be easy. Maybe I'll give a try if I have some time. Julien
