parseToLatex

import { parseToLatex } from '@internote/canvas-sdk/react';

A reader types what they would write by hand and sees it set as maths. No parser, just ordered substitution, which is what makes it forgiving enough to run on every keystroke of a half-finished expression. The shorthand it reads:

• Greek letters by name or as the Unicode letter: pi and π to \pi.
• inf or infinity to \infty, and +- to \pm.
• Roots: sqrt(x) to \sqrt{x}, 3rt(x) to \sqrt[3]{x}.
• Fractions: 2/3 to \frac{2}{3}, x/(a+b) to \frac{x}{a+b}.
• Powers and subscripts: x^2 to x^{2}, x_(n+1) to x_{n+1}.
• Functions set upright: sin(x) to \sin(x), ln(x) to \ln(x).
• * to \times.

Powers are braced before fractions are read, because powers bind tighter than division: x^2/4 is (x^2)/4.
