## Using blacktex

With

```

blacktex in.tex > out.tex

```

the input file

```latex

Because   of $$a+b=c$$ ({\it Pythogoras}),

% @johnny remember to insert name

and $y=2^ng$ with $n=1,...,10$, we have ${\Gamma \over 2}=8.$

```

is converted to

```latex

Because of

\[

a+b = c

\]

(\textit{Pythogoras}),

and \(y = 2^n g\) with \(n = 1,\dots,10\), we have \(\frac{\Gamma}{2} = 8\).

```

You can use

```

blacktex -i in0.tex in1.tex ...

```

to modify files in-place. See `blacktex -h` for all options.
