Latexify.jl

Latexify.jl

Latexify.jl is a package which supplies functions for producing $\LaTeX$ formatted strings from Julia objects. Among the supported input types are Julia Expressions, which gets converted to properly formatted $\LaTeX$ maths.

Supported objects

This package supplies functionality for latexifying objects of the following types:

Along with any shape of array which contains elements of the above types.

Example:

julia> str = "x/(2*k_1+x^2)"
julia> print(latexify(str))

\frac{x}{2 \cdot k_{1} + x^{2}}

which renders as

\begin{equation*} \frac{x}{2 \cdot k_{1} + x^{2}} \end{equation*}

Functions, at a glance

latexify(x)

Latexifies x and returns it in a suitable latex environment. Inputs which are not containers are converted into inline equations $$, container types (AbstractArray) are converted to arrays, and ParameterizedFunctions are converted to align environments.

latexraw(x)

Latexifies an object x and returns a $\LaTeX$ formatted string. If the input is an array, latexraw recurses it and latexifies its elements.

This function does not surround the resulting string in any $\LaTeX$ environments.

latexinline(x)

Passes x to latexraw, but converts the output to a LaTeXString and surrounds it with a simple $$ environment.

latexalign()

Latexifies input and surrounds it with an align environment. Useful for systems of equations and such fun stuff.

latexarray()

Latexifies a 1 or 2D array and generates a corresponding $\LaTeX$ array.

latextabular()

Latexifies the elements of a 1 or 2D array and puts them in a tabular environment.

Automatic copying to clipboard

The strings that you would see when using print on any of the above functions can be automatically copied to the clipboard if you so specify. Since I do not wish to mess with your clipboard without you knowing it, this feature must be activated by you.

To do so, run

Latexify.copy_to_clipboard(true)

To once again disable the feature, pass false to the same function.

The copying to the clipboard will now occur at every call to a Latexify.jl function, regardless of how you chose to display the output.
