Warning: This Code is a total mess! I am sorry for that. But it has 100% test coverage so whenever someone introduces a new hack to get it working, we can be confident that nothing unexpectedly breaks.

All features were developed for compatibility with the modernthesis template.

# yarn
yarn global add @adrianjost/md2tex

# or npm
npm i -g @adrianjost/md2tex

md2tex "pathToSrcMdFile" "pathToTargetTexFile"

• The pathToSrcMdFile default to ./in.md.
• The pathToTargetTexFile default to ./out.tex.

If you provide a directory path instead of a file for both paths, all .md files will get converted to the output directory. The Filestructure will remain the same.

# yarn
yarn add -D @adrianjost/md2tex

# or npm
npm i -D @adrianjost/md2tex

import md2tex from "@adrianjost/md2tex";
// or
// const { convert: md2tex } = require("@adrianjost/md2tex")

const md = `# Hello World`;
const tex = md2tex(md);
console.log(tex);

You can use a codeblock with the language latex to write latex code directly in your markdown files. This Code is getting directly copied into the output without any further conversion.

Input:

# H1
## H2
### H3

Links get converted to footnotes or BibLatex Source References

Input:

[descrition](footnote)

[source](`reference`)

Output:

description\\footnote{footnote}

source\\cite{reference}

Input:

![description](path)

Output:

\begin{figure}[H]
	\centering
	\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{path}
	\caption[description]{description}
	\label{fig:description}
\end{figure}

🌟 Please note the special syntax for captions.

Input:

```js [some caption]
console.log("Hi");
```

Output:

\begin{listing}[H]
	\caption{some caption}
	\label{lst:some caption}
	\begin{minted}{js}
console.log("Hi");
	\end{minted}
\end{listing}

Input:

- list item 1
	- indentation 1
- list item 2

1. first
2. second

Output:

\begin{itemize}
	\item list item 1
	\begin{itemize}
		\item indentation 1
	\end{itemize}
	\item list item 2
\end{itemize}

\begin{enumerate}
	\item first

	\item second
\end{enumerate}

• Currently, this code can't convert tables
• It is also not possible to use inline styles in headlines like # _italic_ headline
• Not all characters get escaped correctly. It's not working inside headlines and normal text without any formatting.
