Introduction

PyDetex is a Python application that transforms LaTeX code into plain text. It has multiple language support (15+), detects repeated words, offers a dictionary (synonyms, antonyms, definitions), and many things more to come!

Comprehensive documentation for the latest version (if you plan to use the API) is available at https://pydetex.readthedocs.io

Install Instructions

PyDetex can be installed via pip, for both MacOS, Windows & Linux. Simply run:

.. code-block:: bash

$> python3 pip install pydetex -U

Also, there're compiled binaries for Windows (x64) and macOS available through GitHub releases.

Launch the GUI, or use the library

Simply run this command anywhere to execute the application.

.. code-block:: bash

$> python3 -m pydetex.gui

**(Simple Pipeline)** Tadada... !!! A simple GUI to process your LaTex, and paste it into Google Docs, an email, or Grammarly \(^o^)/

.. figure:: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ppizarror/pydetex/master/docs/_static/example_strict.png :scale: 40% :align: center

**(Strict Pipeline)** The strict pipeline removes all commands or replaces them with some known tags.

Multiple options to configure: Check repeated words, highlight undetected code, or use different pipelines.

You can also import the library, and use the parsers (methods that take latex code and perform a single task) or the pipelines (a combination of parsers). For more information, please visit the documentation <https://pydetex.readthedocs.io>_.

.. code-block:: python

import pydetex.pipelines as pip
text = "This is a \\textbf{LaTex} code..."
out = pip.simple(text)

TO-DOs

Currently, many things must be improved:

  • Add syntax checking for several languages, like language-check <https://github.com/myint/language-check>_.
  • Custom support for environments, such as table.
