python-markdown extension to output LaTeX (rather than html) - i.e. to provide support for converting markdown to LaTeX.

Authored by Rufus Pollock: http://rufuspollock.org/

Reworked by Julian Wulfheide ([email protected]) and Pedro Gaudêncio ([email protected])

Usage:

1. Command Line. A script entitled markdown2latex.py is automatically installed. For details of usage see help::

$ markdown2latex.py -h

2. As a python-markdown extension::

>>> import markdown
>>> md = markdown.Markdown(None, extensions=['latex'])
>>> # text is input string ...
>>> latex_out = md.convert(text)

3. Directly as a module (slight inversion of std markdown extension setup)::

>>> import markdown
>>> import mdx_latex
>>> md = markdown.Markdown()
>>> latex_mdx = mdx_latex.LaTeXExtension()
>>> latex_mdx.extendMarkdown(md, markdown.__dict__)
>>> out = md.convert(text)
