/tex should support inline TeX

[Zabuzard]

Overview

The /tex command should support inline TeX, for example using the idiomatic $-notation:

/tex latex: Hello, look at this $\frac{x}{2}$, nice stuff!

Right now, the command interprets the whole content as TeX and renders it accordingly:

It should instead be rendered as:

Implementation hint

This could be solved by identifying the $...$ areas. If not present, simply use the existing flow. But if present, wrap the part to the left and right of it inside \text{...} blocks.

So A$B$C would be turned into \text{A}B\text{C}.

Be careful though, that there could be multiple $-sections.

• For example See $\frac{x}{2}$ and also $\frac{y}{2}$.
• Also the edge cases that it either starts with a section $\frac{x}{2}$ nice
• or ends with it See $\frac{x}{2}$.

The previous example Hello, look at this $\frac{x}{2}$, nice stuff! would then be turned into

\text{Hello, look at this }\frac{x}{2}\text{, nice stuff!}

and send like that to the TeX-engine.
