An idea about LaTex....

[Mark]

I'm kind of daunted by getting LaTex installed (and maintained) in multiple locations and multiple O/S.... in other words across all my student's platforms and places.

Since I can get LaTex working easily on my computer....  it would be nice if I could enter cards using LaTex on my computer, then had the option to capture and export the LaText cards as images.

I could then distribute the cards to students and they would be shown as images without having to work about LaTex on their machines....

[Peter Bienstman]

Just export the as 'cards' format, and the latex images should be included.

Maybe I am doing something wrong?

On my computer, I enter an LaTex string which gets rendered (by MikTex) into a math formula or whatever.
It displays correctly on my computer.
I export this card into a Mnemosyne V 2.x card file.
Then import it on another computer.
When that card is displayed, it gives me an error about LaTex not being installed.
(This is what prompted my question about Mac OSX and LaTex in another thread).

What I am suggesting is that on my computer is an option that the rendered LaTex output be captured as an image when I export.

Then the target destination computer would not need to install a LaTex package...because it would simply import an image of the rendering.

I'll have a look at it. If latex images are currently not exported, it
should be not to difficult to fix.

Thank you.

Peter,

Did you see the issue that I mean?  It's not good for me to have EXPORT CARDS simply export the LaText raw strings... I would rather have the LaText output rendered as a jpeg or gif...and then export those images as cards with images (containing a picture of the LaText output).

It's on my TODO list, but I'm rather swamped at the moment...

Ok no problem... I understand.

I wasn't sure if my description was clear enough or not.

Thanks!

Implemented, will be in the next release.

Peter

[Mark]

Thanks so much!

Is this an option on the export (i.e. "Export LaTex as images YES/NO?") or will it always do this as the default?

Mark

[Peter Bienstman]

By default, as I'm not a fan of having too many configuration options.
(Basically, there is no harm in exporting latex always anyway).

Cheers,

Peter

[Mark]

OK thanks again.

It sounds interesting.  I can't wait to see how this is implemented.
