FUNCTIONS

latex_decode($text, %options)

The function accepts a number of options:

    * normalize => $bool (default 0)
        whether the output string should be normalized with Unicode::Normalize
    * normalization => <normalization form> (default 'NFC')
        and if yes, the normalization form to use (see the Unicode::Normalize documentation)
    * strip_outer_braces => $bool (default 0)
        whether the outer curly braces around letters+combining marks should be
        stripped off. By default "fut{\\'e}" becomes fut{e}, to prevent something
        like '\\textuppercase{\\'e}' to become '\\textuppercasee'. Setting this option to
        TRUE can be useful for instance when converting BibTeX files.

GLOBAL OPTIONS

TODO : explain these scheme!

base => Most common macros and diacritics (sufficient for Western languages
         and common symbols)

extra => Also converts punctuation, larger range of diacritics and macros (e.g. for IPA, Latin Extended
         Additional, etc.)

full => Also converts symbols, Greek letters, dingbats, negated symbols, and
         superscript characters and symbols ...
