/**
 * @fileoverview LaTeX Parser Extension for Legal Markdown
 *
 * This module provides functionality to parse LaTeX (.tex) documents and convert
 * them to Legal Markdown format. It uses Pandoc for robust parsing with intelligent
 * fallback to basic regex-based parsing when Pandoc is not available or fails.
 *
 * Features:
 * - AST-based LaTeX parsing using Pandoc
 * - Fallback regex-based parsing for simple documents
 * - Content type detection and validation
 * - Section command conversion to Legal Markdown headers
 * - Text formatting preservation (textbf, textit, emph)
 * - Environment handling (enumerate, itemize, verbatim)
 * - Macro expansion and command processing
 * - Mathematical notation preservation
 * - Reference and label handling
 *
 * @example
 * ```typescript
 * import { convertLatexToLegalMarkdown, convertLatexToLegalMarkdownSync } from './latex-parser';
 *
 * const latexContent = `
 * \\documentclass{article}
 * \\begin{document}
 *
 * \\section{Introduction}
 * This is a sample LaTeX document with \\textbf{bold} and \\textit{italic} text.
 *
 * \\subsection{Terms}
 * Some content here.
 *
 * \\end{document}
 * `;
 *
 * // Async conversion (preferred)
 * const legalMarkdown = await convertLatexToLegalMarkdown(latexContent);
 *
 * // Sync conversion (fallback)
 * const legalMarkdownSync = convertLatexToLegalMarkdownSync(latexContent);
 * ```

/**
 * Converts LaTeX content to Legal Markdown format (async version)
 *
 * This function provides robust conversion of LaTeX documents to Legal Markdown
 * format using Pandoc when available. It automatically detects LaTeX content
 * and only performs conversion when necessary, preserving non-LaTeX content unchanged.
 *
 * @param {string} content - The input content that may contain LaTeX
 * @returns {Promise<string>} A promise that resolves to Legal Markdown formatted content
 * @example
 * ```typescript
 * const latexContent = `
 * \\section{Introduction}
 * This is a sample LaTeX document with \\textbf{bold} text.
 *
 * \\subsection{Terms}
 * Some content with \\textit{italic} formatting.
 * `;
 *
 * const legalMarkdown = await convertLatexToLegalMarkdown(latexContent);
 * console.log(legalMarkdown);
 * // Output:
 * // l. Introduction
 * // This is a sample LaTeX document with **bold** text.
 * //
 * // ll. Terms
 * // Some content with *italic* formatting.
 * ```

/**
 * Converts LaTeX content to Legal Markdown format (sync version)
 *
 * This synchronous function provides fallback conversion of LaTeX documents
 * using regex-based parsing when Pandoc is not available. It's designed for
 * environments where async operations are not suitable or when simple
 * conversion is sufficient.
 *
 * @param {string} content - The input content that may contain LaTeX
 * @returns {string} Legal Markdown formatted content
 * @example
 * ```typescript
 * const latexContent = `
 * \\section{Terms}
 * This agreement contains \\textbf{important} terms.
 * `;
 *
 * const legalMarkdown = convertLatexToLegalMarkdownSync(latexContent);
 * console.log(legalMarkdown);
 * // Output:
 * // l. Terms
 * // This agreement contains **important** terms.
 * ```
