How do you get the raw Latex from the MTEditableMathLabel?

How do you get the raw Latex from the MTEditableMathLabel if it is possible. I didnt find any label.text member

[erikchen93]

You can access the text like this:

label.mathList.stringValue

@erikchen93 That is not correct. stringValue is not LaTeX. The correct LaTeX version is

[MTMathListBuilder mathListToString:label.mathList]

Also unofficially (private API): [label label].latex

[kostub]

Marking as enhancement to add public API to get latex.

Thanks for help! [MTMathListBuilder mathListToString:label.mathList] works perfectly :)

I am testing this project using swift 3. Here is the code for getting LaTex form from the keyboard input: let a = MTMathListBuilder.mathList(toString: math_label.mathList) print(a) //output latex

I am also wondering how can I predefine the input string and use MTEditableMathLabel to display it?

something like this in IOSmath: let text = "some latex and normal texts" Math_label.latex = text
