A Rust TUI project uses Unicode approximations to render LaTeX snippets
doodlestein · x · 2026-07-21
A reply shares a practical way to render LaTeX in terminal-like tools without resorting to images. - The author says their **FrankenTUI** project renders GitHub-flavored markdown and LaTeX snippets. - Instead of full graphical rendering, it uses the **unicodeit** crate to convert formulas into Unicode approximations. - The implementation also includes fallback cleanup for unsupported commands and a cache to reuse previous conversions.
