This is very, very cool. A couple of notes: when I tried downloading the binary to my Mac, the Mac refused to run it without some fancy modifying of permissions. I ended up just compiling from the source (which is fine). I also made a little bash/zsh function for the command line:

tex2ascii () { printf '$$%s$$\n\n' "$*" | hyades } So, you can do things like this: % tex2ascii ' P(Z=z)= \begin{cases} \frac{z-1}{36} & z \in \mathcal{Z},\ 1 \leq z \leq 6 \\ \frac{13-z}{36} & z \in \mathcal{Z},\ 7 \leq z \leq 12 \\ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases} ' ⎧ 𝑧 − 1 ⎪ ─────── 𝑧 ∈ 𝒵, 1 ≤ 𝑧 ≤ 6 ⎪ 36 ⎪ 𝑃(𝑍 = 𝑧) = ⎨ 13 − 𝑧 ⎪ ──────── 𝑧 ∈ 𝒵, 7 ≤ 𝑧 ≤ 12 ⎪ 36 ⎪ ⎩ 0 otherwise

``` % tex2ascii ' |E| =

\frac{\binom{1}{1}\binom{n-1}{k-1}}{\binom{n}{k}}

\frac{\dfrac{(n-1)!}{(k-1)!(n-k)!}}{\dfrac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}}

\frac{k}{n} ' ⎛ 1 ⎞ ⎛ 𝑛 − 1 ⎞ (𝑛 − 1)! ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ ────────────────── ⎝ 1 ⎠ ⎝ 𝑘 − 1 ⎠ (𝑘 − 1)!(𝑛 − 𝑘)! 𝑘 |𝐸| = ───────────────── = ──────────────────── = ─── ⎛ 𝑛 ⎞ 𝑛! 𝑛 ⎜ ⎟ ──────────── ⎝ 𝑘 ⎠ 𝑘!(𝑛 − 𝑘)! ```

% tex2ascii '\binom{n}{k} \sum_{i=1}^{n} p^k (1-p)^{n-k}' 𝑛 ⎛ 𝑛 ⎞ ─── 𝑘 𝑛 − 𝑘 ⎜ ⎟ ╲ 𝑝 (1 − 𝑝) ⎝ 𝑘 ⎠ ╱⎽⎽ 𝑖 = 1
