I’m using for a pure Julia implementation of pylatexenc’s latex2text. I have found many wonderful LaTeX-adjacent Julia packages but none that provide that functionality.

Any ideas other than calling latex2text from Julia via PyCall or porting that functionality myself?

For context, I’m trying to output text and math to multiple output formats, some that can handle math (e.g. HTML via katex or mathjax) and some that cannot (terminal) [it’s for the latter task].
