Goal

• Convert formulas to Latex leaving the structure of the text exactly the same
• Use the rules and conventions in .claude/skills/latex.rules.md

Workflow

Convert Mathematical Formulas

• Convert mathematical formulas to Latex without changing their meaning and formatting so that they are easily readable

  • Bad (uses Unicode symbols instead of LaTeX)

    P(M | D) ∝ P(D | M) P(M)
    

  • Good (uses LaTeX macros for a readable formula)

    $$
    \Pr(M | D) \propto \Pr(D | M)\, \Pr(M)
    $$
    

  • Bad (plain text notation, not LaTeX)

    a* = argmax_a E_{M~P(M|D)}[Goal | do(a), M]
    

  • Good (LaTeX formula)

    $$
    a^* = \arg\max_a
      \EE_{M | \Pr(M | D)}
      \left[
        \text{Goal} | do(a), M
      \right]
    $$
    

Convert Symbols to Latex

• Convert symbols into Latex ones, together with variables if needed:
  • Bad (Unicode arrow instead of LaTeX)

    X → Y
    

  • Good (LaTeX symbol)

    $X \to U$
    

• If there are expressions then leave them unchanged
  • Bad

    "If battery low" → seek charging station
    

  • Bad

    "If battery low" $\to$ seek charging station
    

Lint the File

• After the conversion run the command:

  > lint_text.py -i <FILE>
  

Verification

• Confirm all formulas render correctly in LaTeX
• Confirm non-formula expressions remain unchanged
• Confirm lint_text.py -i <FILE> completes without errors
