Description
Hi,
I'm trying to convert LaTeX-generated PDFs and Word documents to Markdown using the library, but formulas are either not converted or appear as garbled text. This seems to be an issue with both LaTeX and Word formats.
Is formula conversion supported in the current version? If not, are there plans to add this feature?
Thanks!
