latexTranslate: Prints a string to Latex, dealing with special characters.

In pentalibra/braid: A report writing system that creates and compiles LaTEX and pdf output

Description

Translates particular items in character strings to LaTeX format, e.g., makes a^2 = a\$^2\$ for superscript within variable labels. LaTeX names of greek letters (e.g., "alpha") will have backslashes added if greek==TRUE. Math mode is inserted as needed. latexTranslate assumes that input text always has matches, e.g. [) [] (] (), and that surrounding by \$\$ is OK.

Usage

  latexTranslate(object, inn = NULL, out = NULL,
    pb = FALSE, greek = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

object	A string containing question text
inn	specify additional input strings over the usual defaults
out	specify additional translated strings over the usual defaults
pb	If pb=TRUE, latexTranslate also translates [()] to math mode using \left, \right.
greek	set to TRUE to have latexTranslate put names for greek letters in math mode and add backslashes
...	ignored
