[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59546] Missing latex interpreter

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #12, bug #59546 (project octave):

@Pantxo: Thanks for the example. I knew I was missing something basic -- like
entering math mode with `$` (d'oh).
When used correctly, your patch works like a charm.

I remember you asked on the discourse forum about how to manage the cache:
https://octave.discourse.group/t/cache-manager-class/519

IIUC, jwe prefers to not have a static singleton for that.
Do you think the `gh_manager` could manage the cache instead? IIUC, this is
what you suggested in that thread. (But it's quite possible I misunderstood.)

If I read the patch correctly, the cache uses a map that is ever growing until
Octave is closed.
Afaict, these questions haven't been answered yet in the other thread: Do we
need to limit the amount of memory the cache occupies? Do we need functions
that purge the cache once in a while?

The closest I can think of that we have to a cache manager might be the
`load_path` class and its function map. But I'm not sure if much of it could
be useful here...

Maybe the interpreter or parser caches parsed code somewhere. But I don't know
that part of the code base very well...
