### positional arguments:

- FILE

  Input files (if none specified, read from stdandard input)

### optional arguments:

**--non-ascii-only**

- **--no-non-ascii-only**

  The option **--non-ascii-only** specifies that only nonascii characters are to be encoded into LaTeX sequences, and not characters like '$' even though they might have a special LaTeX meaning.

- **--replacement-latex-protection** {braces,braces-all,braces-almost-all,braces-after-macro,none}

  How to protect replacement latex code from producing invalid latex code when concatenated in a longer string. One of 'braces', 'braces-all', 'braces-almostall', 'braces-after-macro', 'none'. Example: using choice 'braces' we avoid the invalid replacement 'a???b' -\> 'a\\tob' with instead 'a{\\to}b'.

- **--unknown-char-policy** {keep,replace,ignore,fail}

  How to deal with nonascii characters with no known latex code equivalent.

- **-q**, **--quiet**

  Suppress warning messages
