Hyades is a native CLI binary written in C that transforms standard LaTeX mathematical notation into multi-line Unicode or plain ASCII text. It's designed for environments where rich formatting isn't available, such as terminals, code comments, and emails. Hyades boasts 95% LaTeX compatibility, supporting a vast array of mathematical constructs from fractions and integrals to matrices and Greek letters. Beyond math, it also handles tables, lists, text formatting, and even offers a Turing-complete programming language with a stack-based VM for advanced computational macros. It's fast, dependency-free, cross-platform, and includes integrations for VSCode, Helix, Neovim, and an MCP server for AI assistant integration.
