# UnicodeIt

Tested on Linux, Mac and Windows: ![Tests](https://github.com/svenkreiss/unicodeit/workflows/Tests/badge.svg)

Converts LaTeX tags to unicode.

Available online at [unicodeit.net](https://www.unicodeit.net).

## Examples

```

\alpha α, \beta β, \infty ∞       e^+ e⁺, \mu^- μ⁻               \exists ∃, \nexists ∄

\int ∫, \sum ∑, \partial ∂        \to →, p\bar{p} pp̅             \mathcal{H} ℋ, \mathbb{R} ℝ

\slash{\partial} ∂̸                \underline{x} x̲                \phone ☎, \checkmark ✓

\dot{x} ẋ, \ddot{x} ẍ             A^6 A⁶, m_0 m₀                 \Im ℑ, \Re ℜ, \hbar ℏ

\gamma γ, \Gamma Γ                \~{O} Õ                        \perp ⊥, \parallel ∥

\sfrac{3}{5} ⅗                    \therefore ∴, \because ∵       \subset ⊂, \supset ⊃

```

## Python

Install with `pip install unicodeit` and run

```sh

python -m unicodeit.cli \\alpha

```

or in Python

```py

import unicodeit

print(unicodeit.replace('\\alpha'))

```

## JavaScript / TypeScript

Install with `npm install unicodeit --save-dev` and use it like this:

```js

var unicodeit = require('unicodeit');

console.log(unicodeit.replace('\\alpha'));

```

## Mac Automator

Create your own Automator Workflow:

* Create a new "Quick Action" (might also be labeled as "Service").

* At the top, leave the defaults: "Service receives *selected text* in *any application*"

* Select the checkmark "output replaces selected text".

* Add the action "Run Shell Script".

* From dropdown, select to "pass in: as arguments".

* The command is: `/usr/local/bin/python3 -m unicodeit.cli $1`. This Python interpreter must have unicodeit installed; e.g. with `/usr/local/bin/python3 -m pip install unicodeit`.

* It should look something like this:

![automator script](docs/automator.png)

To set a keyboard shortcut, go to `System Preferences` →

`Keyboard` → `Shortcuts` → `Services` → `Text` → `UnicodeItAction`.

Choose a keyboard shortcut like `Command+Option+Shift U`.

Now you are all set to use your new keyboard shortcut in many apps, like here in Keynote:

## [dev] New Release Flow

* update version in `uncodeit/__init__.py` and `package.json`

* create a new release on Github
