We need to create a parser that can parse a template (latex files, and perhaps other config files).

As discussed, this parser service will be a backend service for two main reasons:

Code security. (Frontend code is public, this would mean that any client would have the parser code.)
Every template only needs to be parsed once. (Instead of multiple times in every client, every time the client loads a template.)

The output of the parser service should contain the necessary information for the UI to generate the correct components. (These will ask the user for the necessary input.)

The main remaining problem is how we will add extra information to latex code, so that the correct ui components can be selected.

Extra information for the UI is needed so that specific components for Email input or date input can be used at the right time.
