How do I sanitize LaTeX input?
- by Conley Owens
I'd like to take user input (sometimes this will be large paragraphs) and generate a LaTeX document. I'm considering a couple of simple regular expressions that replaces all instances of "\" with "\textbackslash " and all instances of "{" or "}" with "\}" or "\{".
I doubt this is sufficient. What else do I need to do? Note: In case there is a special library made for this, I'm using python.
