i want to create PDF`s via Python 3.7.9 and Pylatex 1.4.1. I dont know if i encountered a bug.
I try to generate the following formula in the NoEscape container from Pylatex:
from pylatex import Document, Section, Math
from pylatex.utils import NoEscape
doc = Document('basic')
section = Section("Section1")
math = NoEscape("$g(10)=1\times 3\times 7\times 9 = 189$")
section.append(math)
doc.append(section)
doc.generate_pdf(clean_tex=False)
The first output from Pylatex is a .tex file. Pylatex generates the following code with this code snippet:
\documentclass{article}%
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}%
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}%
\usepackage{lmodern}%
\usepackage{textcomp}%
\usepackage{lastpage}%
%
%
%
\begin{document}%
\normalsize%
\section{Section1}%
\label{sec:Section1}%
$g(10)=1 imes 3 imes 7 imes 9 = 189$
%
\end{document}
The \times is allways just imes.
The correct output would be:
$g(10)=1\times 3\times 7\times 9 = 189$
Anyone know a solution for this?
Thanks in advance.
the \ is an escape character, in fact \t is the tab.
this applies to strings in python:
# \ on its own is an escape character.
s = "$g(10)=1\times 3\times 7\times 9 = 189$"
print(s)
# \\ this will work
s = "$g(10)=1\\times 3\\times 7\\times 9 = 189$"
print(s)
result:
$g(10)=1 imes 3 imes 7 imes 9 = 189$
$g(10)=1\times 3\times 7\times 9 = 189$
