Description
Apparently TeX in metadata is causing some problems, particularly in downstream systems like OpenReview. Maybe a more portable solution is to use [unicodeit.net](UnicodeIt) to attempt to convert all TeX to Unicode.
UnicodeIt can be loaded as a Python library. There are some cases it misses; a second pass could be written for these.
Missing cases:
- [ ] `\texttt{a}`, `\textit{a}`, `\textbf{a}`, etc.: should ignore or maybe change to Markdown?
- [ ] `\textsc{a}`; should change to all caps?
- [ ] `\frac{1}{2}`: should change to `½` or `1/2`
