Rendering expression from latex syntax

[jekslewe]

Greetings,
is anyone interested in working together on code that takes as input a latex math expression and gives as output the image of that expression, without relying on outside code?

I'd like to work on that but probably some help would benefit; still not sure if using lex/yacc for parsing or doing it manually, but i've always used such tools for simple (and sample) code at university, never used them for anything more serious.

Any reason you want to reinvent the wheel instead of using existing renderers?

Also make sure you limit the scope of the task, as a full-blown LaTeX/TeX renderer will probably take many years to complete.
