`mathsvg` option not supported in LaTeXML 0.8.0 #574

Closed ThomasA closed 9 years ago

ThomasA commented 9 years ago

I have installed LaTeXML 0.8.0 from http://dlmf.nist.gov/LaTeXML/releases/LaTeXML-0.8.0.tar.gz in the hope of using it to convert LaTeX with maths into HTML with maths in SVG using the --mathsvg option as documented here: http://dlmf.nist.gov/LaTeXML/manual/commands/latexmlpost.html

I have verified that I am running the correct version:

$ latexmlmath --VERSION
latexmlmath (LaTeXML version 0.8.0)

but attempts to use the option fail:

$ latexmlpost --format=html5 --mathsvg test.xml 
Unknown option: mathsvg

The option is not shown in the help command either:

$ latexmlpost --help|grep svg
        --svg                   converts picture environments to SVG
        --nosvg                 disables the above (default)

       "--svg", "--nosvg"

The option was introduced later than the 0.8.0 release. It will be available in the soon to be issued 0.8.1. You can already use the option if you install LaTeXML from GitHub, as described here: http://dlmf.nist.gov/LaTeXML/get.html#SS7

That makes the online documentation quite confusing then. I will try the GitHub version, thanks.

You are completely right that the online documentation ought to have a reference to LaTeXML version and GitHub revision, in order to avoid confusion.

Sorry you had to install 0.8.0 in vain!
