to_latex confusing name

[jw3126]

I would expect a function called to_latex to consume something (say unicode) and produce latex. But here it is the other way round:

latexstring = "\\alpha^2 \\cdot \\alpha^{2+3} \\equiv \\alpha^7"
to_latex(latexstring) == "α² ⋅ α²⁺³ ≡ α⁷"

Maybe to_unicode or latex2unicode would be a better name?

Yeah, thats true...
I'd love to have it as a type, and then just define e.g. string.
Maybe I should start including https://github.com/stevengj/LaTeXStrings.jl for that purpose.

Cool, I was not aware of LaTexStrings.jl.
