Hi,

Hope you are all well !

Is it possible to handle LaTex accents replacement ?

apologies for the belated answer.

yes, I think it could make sense to have such a thing. for the "math TeX" renderer, we do the opposite (for math symbols, replacing their LaTeX "representation" with the proper UTF-8 symbol, if any).

we could have an internal/unicode2tex package that does the reverse.

want to give a stab at it? (I promise to review your PR in a more diligent fashion :P)
