MathML output contains backslashes

[ghost]

When using latex2mathml

$ latex2mathml --version
latex2mathml 2.13.0

I'm finding that with inputs like this:

$ latex2mathml -t '\frac{\tan^{2}x}{1+\sec x}'

latex2mathml is producing outputs like this:

<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline">
    <mrow>
        <mfrac>
            <mrow>
                <msup>
                    <mi>\tan</mi>
                    <mrow>
                        <mn>2</mn>
                    </mrow>
                </msup>
                <mi>x</mi>
            </mrow>
            <mrow>
                <mn>1</mn>
                <mo>&#x0002B;</mo>
                <mi>\sec</mi>
                <mi>x</mi>
            </mrow>
        </mfrac>
    </mrow>
</math>

Now, as you can see, the expressions with trigonometric functions contain backslashes in them. \tan should just be tan. and \sec should just be sec. This happens for every trigonometric operator I've tried, but I can't speak to other operators.

To mitigate this issue, I wrote a script that just pipes latex2mathml's output through sed like this:

#!/usr/bin/env sh
latex2mathml -t "$1" | sed 's|\\||g'

But that's not really the ideal solution.

I also checked the quoting (using " and ') and the output is still the same.
