copied!<p>Considering that LaTeX itself is a Turing-complete markup language I strongly doubt you can build something like this that isn't built directly into LaTeX. Furthermore, LaTeX math matkup itself has next to no semantic meaning, it merely describes the visual appearance.</p> <p>That being said, you can probably hack together something which recognizes a non-programmable subset of LaTeX math markup and spits out the result in the same way. If all you're interested in is simple arithmetics with fractions and integers (careful with decimal fractions, though, as they may appear as <code>3{,}141...</code> in German texts :)) this shouldn't be too hard. But once you start with integrals, matrices, etc. I fear that LaTeX lacks expressiveness to accurately describe your intentions. It is a document preparation system, after all and thus not very suitable as input for computer algebra systems.</p> <p><em>Side note:</em> You can switch to Word which has—in its current version—a math markup language which is sufficiently LaTeX-like and yet still Google-friendly for simpler terms:</p> <p><a href="http://hypftier.de/dump/word_math_1.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Illustration of math markup in Microsoft Word http://hypftier.de/dump/word_math_1.png</a></p> <p>With the free Microsoft Math add-in you can even let Word calculate expressions in-place:</p> <p><a href="http://hypftier.de/dump/word_math_2.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Illustration of the Microsoft Math add-in for Microsoft Word, calculating an expression http://hypftier.de/dump/word_math_2.png</a></p>
