MeenyLaTeX
=========

MeenyLaTeX is an experimental version of the MiniLatex
package.


MiniLatex (the language) is a subset of LaTeX that can be rendered
into pdf by standard tools such as `pdflatex`.  MiniLatex source
text can be live-rendered in a web browser using a suitable application, e.g.,
[MiniLatex Live](https://jxxcarlson.github.io/app/miniLatexLive/index.htmll)
or [www.knode.io](http://www.knode.io).  For a technical discussion,
see the Hackernoon article, [Towards LaTeX in the Browser](https://hackernoon.com/towards-latex-in-the-browser-2ff4d94a0c08).


Changes
-------

0. The top level module `Driver` has been renamed `MiniLatex`

1. MiniLatex renders LaTeX source text into `Html a` using
`Render2.render` rather than
`String` representing Html using `Render.render`

2. The `MiniLatex` module uses the `Html a` renderer as does the demo app.  

3.  MathJax is called to render formulas using custom elements 
(courtesy of @luke on the Elm Slack), rather than using ports.

I plan to re-expose the `String` renderer in the `MiniLatex` module.
This is needed for printing and can also be used to publish documents
as Html using a different frontend.

*Note:*  Since this is the experimental version,
the API may change (and be cleaned up) substantially.  
I've exposed much more than is eventually needed 
in order to experiment better.
