LaTeXStrings.jl

This is a small package to make it easier to type LaTeX equations in string literals in the Julia language, written by Steven G. Johnson. With ordinary strings in Julia, to enter a string literal with embedded LaTeX equations you need to manually escape all backslashes and dollar signs: for example, $\alpha^2$ is written \$\\alpha^2\$. Also, even though IJulia is capable of displaying formatted LaTeX equations (via MathJax), an ordinary string will not exploit this.
