In the current grammar, "cos(x)/2" can be reduced the following two ways

1. Frac (cos ( x )) (2)
2. cos, Frac (( x )) (2)
   The official asciimath parser seems to chose the first option whereas this one chose the second…

It would be great to be able to support new keywords.

Among them, I can see:

• \hbar
• \dagger
• transposition of a matrix
• \left| x \right> for kets in quantum mechanics. Conversely, \left< x \right| for bras.

Due to the fact that * gets translated in middle dot (as an operator), it is also the case when it is in an exponent.

Then, to write z^* (complex conjugate), one has to write z^(**).

Should be really helpful if hbar could be used to produce a \hbar (same as greek letters).

Why not considering that $H_Kerr$ is the same as $H_(Kerr)$?

And force a user who wishes to write $H_K err$ as such?

echo "1.3/1.2 " | asciimath => 1.\frac{3}{1}.2 instead of \frac{1.3}{1.2}

The comma (,) and dot (.) symbols are not in the grammar, so statements like 1.2 and [0,1] can't be parsed

Something like

\left\{\begin{array}{c}
    eq1 \\
    eq2 \\
\end{array}\right.

is widely used in LaTeX, it would be really cool to have it here.

chi_p / 2

gives a lexical error

but

(chi_p) / 2

works.

In integrals (e.g. int_0^1 f(x) dx) , dx should not be rendered as $dx$ but as $\mathrm{d},x$ afaik.

cc "L" is a valid Asciimath font command according to their homepage, but is not supported by AsciiMath.

The structure " ... " should be handled using alex's startcodes and not the current hack
