Typst to LaTeX: `dots` maps to `\cdots` when it should map to `\ldots` #15

Closed MilesCranmer closed 1 year ago

Explain the problem.

File sketch.typ

$dots$

mapped to latex with:

> pandoc --to=latex sketch.typ -o sketch.tex

this results in

\(\cdots\)

when it should be \ldots.

Pandoc version?

3.1.8

This is rather complex. Note that dots is not listed in the typst symbol list. Typst docs say:

When displaying a symbol, Typst selects the first from the variants that have all attached modifiers and the minimum number of other modifiers

We try to do that (in typst-hs -- that's where the code that handles this lives, so I'll switch this issue there.) But which of the variants listed in the documentation is the "first"? That's not said, and I think typst-hs is making a different assumption from typst itself.

OK, I think I've found the issue.
