insert image when compile with API

[nguyen179son]

Are there anyway to insert image when using api https://latexonline.cc/compile?... I tried to used base64 to image but its not working.

Hi @nguyen179son,

There exist another (experimental & not related) project with support of base64 encoded files in the compile payload.

With Latex-Online I think the solution is to create a tar with all your file structure.

This message comes out when I try with a tar file. I compress main.tex and image file into a tar.xz file.

pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode -recorder -output-directory latex.out /tmp/downloads/tmp_14/main.tex /tmp/downloads/tmp_14/main.tex:1: error: Missing \begin{document} at �7zXZ^^@^^@^^D�ִF^^B^^@!^^A^^V^^@^^@^^@t/��'�^^Vi]^^@6^^[�^^Z`қ^^O^^D... ^

Maybe this is an character encodage issue? Does it work using laton command-line tool?

This works fine with laton CLI tool & git repo fetch. Closing this since discussion has stalled.
