LaTeX is a typesetting language focusing on scientific and technical documents.

Wow, this is great. I will eventually implement an AST for LaTeX.js as well. Maybe we can share some of the results.

@michael-brade Looking forward to this 👍

I don’t think anyone is currently working on this, other than you! I’d love to see this happen!

[michael-brade]

well, apparently someone already did start working on this, I just found it: https://github.com/tamuratak/latex-utensils

Looks great 😁

This is brilliant. In the Used section of Github I noticed that this is used in the famous plugin for writing latex in vscode. I've been using this plugin for several years and I have to say that it works perfectly.
