Exporting LaTex markup

Open saracarl opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

A very few projects using LaTex to mark up scientific or mathematical notation within texts. In the UI, we turn that into an inline image for display with the text. For export we ignore it.

We need a smarter way to handle the LaTex markup in exports. One suggestion was to use alt-text that contained the LaTex markup in text exports. Other possibilities would be to include the image that we generate in the export somehow.

It turns out that TEI has a way to embed TeX formulas within documents, and it's one of the recommended ways to represent mathematical formulae.

We'll need a different approach for PDF exports. This is one: https://ashki23.github.io/markdown-latex.html
