About:
aamath is a command-line utility that parses mathematical expressions from standard input and renders them as formatted ASCII art. It handles basic arithmetic, fractions, and exponents, converting complex notation into a visually readable text-based format. This tool is ideal for displaying equations in terminal environments or plain text documents where graphical rendering is not available.

Key Features:

Parses and renders mathematical expressions to ASCII art
Supports fractions, exponents, and basic operators
Lightweight command-line interface
Piped input support for scripting

Use Cases:

Displaying equations in terminal-based documentation
Generating ASCII math for plain text emails or forums
Quickly visualizing calculations in a CLI environment

Alternatives:

ditaa – ditaa converts ASCII art diagrams to images, whereas aamath converts math expressions to ASCII art.
LaTeX – LaTeX produces high-quality typeset documents, while aamath provides immediate, low-fidelity text rendering for consoles.
