I don't really see this as an issue. TeX is just a language that can be translated into PDFs for visual consumption well, but it could similarly be translated into audio or code (in the case of equations), we just can't do that because publishing TeX isn't something we do for some reason.
- franga2000 6y agoThe problem is that you really can't. Tex isn't semantic, it's visual. Even matrix transposition, one of the most basic things in linear algebra, is written differently by different people. I've seen plenty of people just write ^T, which requires an amount of contextual awareness a parser just cannot have to differentiate from just raising something to the power of "T".
