# unified-latex-to-mdast

## What is this?

Functions to convert `unified-latex` Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) to a MDAST (Markdown-like)
tree.

## When should I use this?

If you want to convert LaTeX to Markdown.

## Install

```bash
npm install @unified-latex/unified-latex-to-mdast
```

This package contains both esm and commonjs exports. To explicitly access the esm export,
import the `.js` file. To explicitly access the commonjs export, import the `.cjs` file.

# Plugins

## `unifiedLatexToMdast`

Unified plugin to convert a `unified-latex` AST into a `mdast` AST.

### Usage

`unified().use(unifiedLatexToMdast[, options])`

#### options

```typescript
PluginOptions
```

### Type

`Plugin<PluginOptions[], Ast.Root, Mdast.Root>`

```typescript
function unifiedLatexToMdast(
  options: PluginOptions
): (tree: Ast.Root, file: VFile) => Mdast.Root;
```

# Functions

## `convertToMarkdown(tree, options)`

Convert the `unified-latex` AST `tree` into a Markdown string. If you need
more precise control or further processing, consider using `unified`
directly with the `unifiedLatexToMdast` plugin.

For example,

    unified()
         .use(unifiedLatexFromString)
         .use(unifiedLatexToMdast)
         .use(remarkStringify)
         .processSync("\\LaTeX to convert")

```typescript
function convertToMarkdown(
  tree: Ast.Node | Ast.Node[],
  options: PluginOptions
): string;
```

**Parameters**

| Param   | Type                     |
| :------ | :----------------------- |
| tree    | `Ast.Node \| Ast.Node[]` |
| options | `PluginOptions`          |

# Types

## `PluginOptions`

```typescript
export type PluginOptions = HtmlLikePluginOptions & RehypeRemarkOptions;
```
