Description

The tensor package in LaTeX is quite handy for writing tensors with mixed covariant and contravariant indices in an ergonomic fashion.

I think the package is quite small and would be fairly easy to add. I doubt I will get around to doing it myself, but there is a small change that it could happen. Would a PR for this package as a first-party extension be accepted should I ever get around to it?

Research direction

Begin by reviewing how MathJax handles first-party LaTeX extensions and where support for the tensor package would fit. Confirm the package’s required syntax and scope, then identify the relevant extension tests; done means the supported tensor notation is implemented and verified without changing unrelated behavior.
