This project is on indefinite hold.

The idea to use ANSII escape codes and unicode symbols for equation formatting is appealing, but terminal support is just not what you'd wish it to be.

I wrote quad.sh as a test of terminal features. It prints a few variants of a manually converted forms of the quadratic formula.

On the left with poor unicode support is the default WSL terminal, on the right is Mintty.

Old description remains below for archiving reasons.

A monospaced document formatter. The ASCII part of the name is potentially a misnomer, as using unicode for math-symbols etc is useful.

FancyASCII intends to be many things.

• a text formatter targetting monospace textfiles and text-mode terminal screens.
• an extendable library of "FormatTypes", ML->ASCII definitions for special elements.

Formats for many kinds of math, possibly based on courses I took recently.

• Linear Algebra
  • matrices
• Relational Algebra
• Symbolic Logic
  • Logical Derrivation Trees
• Sentence diagrams

Prettier text-mode output for programs.

Who doesn't love lynx?

Formatting for plaintext documents.

All my class notes are text files. Using a markup language lets the user quickly define complex, odd, or rare elements/structures with a normal keyboard, w\o relying on copy-pasting special symbols.

Things for later

• support for MathML input
• reversable translations that turn what is essentially "ASCII art" back into markup-form equations and paragraphs.
