Can I use TeXZilla to insert/render LaTeX formulae into Gmail, as done by TeX-for-Gmail? #74

I want to know if this tool can let user insert/render LaTeX formulae into Gmail, as done by TeX-for-Gmail.

Regards, HZ

Hi I'm not aware of it, I guess this is a question for the gmail developers. AFAIK, one can insert MathML into HTML emails but not all mail client/server supports that.

It seems that TeX-for-Gmail and TeXZilla are built on the same tool set and language. So, I filed this issue.

TeXZilla is a "Javascript LaTeX-to-MathML converter" so you can use it a Chrome extension (JavaScript) and take LaTeX formulaes as input. The difference with TeX-for-Gmail is the output which uses images (IIUC) instead of MathML. Images are supported my all mail client/server, but that's not necessarily the case for MathML. At worst, you can maybe use something like http://fred-wang.github.io/TeXZilla/examples/toImage.html to generate images...

Closing this issue since this is a work to be done by other projects, not the library itself.
