It is historically interesting as a small scientific/terminal utility for email, source comments, and other contexts where rendered images or Unicode math are inconvenient. ### Projektgeschichte The official homepage describes asciiTeX as an ASCII equation renderer released under the GPL. It says the project is a fork of eqascii, adding new features and many bug fixes, and it documents both a GTK graphical interface and a command-line program named `asciiTeX`. The same official page now carries a maintenance note saying asciiTeX is not maintained and points users to two successor paths: a fork at larseggert/asciiTeX and the original author's newer libtexprintf/utftex work for monospace TeX-like math formatting with Unicode support. ### Adoptionsgeschichte asciiTeX appears to have stayed niche: the input facts list only Homebrew packaging, and the official site focuses on SourceForge downloads, build-from-source instructions, and a Windows installer. Its adoption story is therefore less about ecosystem ubiquity and more about preserving a small utility for ASCII math rendering. ### Wie es verwendet wird The command-line form accepts equations directly or from a file: `asciiTeX [-v] [-h] [-f file] [-ll line-length] [equation]`. It supports LaTeX-like constructs such as fractions, superscripts, subscripts, roots, sums, products, integrals, braces, arrows, limits, and overlines, then emits fixed-width ASCII output. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren asciiTeX is a good example of the long tail in package managers: a dormant SourceForge-era C/GTK utility remains useful enough to package because it solves a specific text-only problem and has no modern service dependency. ### Zeitleiste - SourceForge era: asciiTeX published as a GPL fork of eqascii with command-line and GTK interfaces. - Current official homepage: project marked unmaintained and successor/fork links documented. ### Related projects - eqascii is the project asciiTeX forked from. - larseggert/asciiTeX is listed by the official homepage as an updated fork. - libtexprintf and utftex are listed by the original author as newer alternatives. ### Quellen - - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger-Risiko:** grün / niedrig - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Details aus der Quelldatenbank - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** asciitex - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Verwandte Links - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Scientific computing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/scientific-computing-tools/) - Matched scientific computing metadata. - [Homebrew utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew-utility-packages/) - Matched Homebrew package provider. - [aamath](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/aamath/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ascii-art, cli, math, science. - [calc](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/calc/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, mathematics, science. - [cddlib](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/cddlib/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, mathematics, science. - [fplll](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/fplll/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, mathematics, science. - [maxima](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/maxima/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, mathematics, science. - [msieve](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/msieve/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, mathematics, science. - [msolve](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/msolve/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, mathematics, science. - [nauty](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/nauty/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, mathematics, science. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
