asciitex for Mac

asciitex is a command-line tool that converts mathematical formulas into ASCII art. In plain-text environments such as terminals, code comments, plain-text emails, or documents, writing formulas directly is often hard to read, and asciitex arranges these expressions into two-dimensional figures built from characters, so that structures like fractions, square roots, and superscripts and subscripts can be roughly made out without images. It suits people who are used to working in the terminal, writers who need to present formulas in plain-text materials, and developers who want to add intuitive mathematical expressions to program output. Usage leans toward command-style operation, and the output can be copied directly to wherever it is needed.
