Feature: math validation before the generation #16

Closed jonasmalacofilho closed 8 years ago

jonasmalacofilho commented 8 years ago

Since HTML allows anything but TeX does not, we've been surprised a few times by bad math expressions that pass the parsing phase (and the html generation), but fail on the TeX building of the pdfs.

I had initially thought or validating directly in TeX, but that would require a TeX installation for all most uses of the generator tool. However, since we're now using Node.js as our main target, and since MathJax has a browser independent API, we can add experiment with more strict (and thus helpful) math handling.

Could be improved and tested, but it's sufficient for now. We first need some real world experience with this...
