notes

this project takes a specific latex file and returns an AST.

from this AST, it generates a web rendering of the latex file.

doing

• hashmap to store ast
  • have different node types as children (trait implementation?)

todo

• preprocessor for includes
• postprocessor
  • create table of contents
  • create table list
  • create bibliography
• list all needed elements
  • environments
    • listing
    • itemize / item
    • minted
    • lstlisting (should all be converted to listing + minted)
    • quotation / quote (should harmonize in the thesis itself)
  • commands
  • chapter
  • section
  • subsection
  • subsubsection
  • citep
  • emph
  • caption
  • lstinline
  • mint (inline listing, bit of a weird syntax)
  • textquote
  • linespread (only to make some listings fit in one page)
  • same as above
  • footnote
  • vspace (WARNING: there's a \ in the argument list)
  • centerline (can probs ignore the arguments inside for now? the point is that it's an <hr>)
  • dots
  • pagebreak (just for print layout, could be ignored?)
  • label (that's the one that is used as a hyperlink)
  • ref (counterpart of the above ^)
  • hyperref (not sure what is the difference with ref)
  • url

done

• environments
  • problem with nesting (issues with push and peek?)
• command statements (e.g. \emph[opt1, opt2]{arg})
• comments (currently silenced)
• proper indentation system
• serialization
