latex export with o-blog #49

Closed stephenosullivan closed 12 years ago

Hi

I've recently tried using your o-blog software and I was wondering whether it was possible to export latex fragments to html using dvipng instead of the default MathJax mechanism. I've tried putting "#+OPTIONS: LaTeX:dvipng" into the source file of my blog, and I've also tried putting (setq org-export-with-LaTeX-fragments (quote dvipng)) inside the (ob-export-string-to-html) function in o-blog.el but it does not produce any images. I'm a novice at org-mode so these attempts may have been fairly naive.

Also, I hope that this is the right forum to ask questions of this kind, and you have my apologies if its not the case.

Thanks

Stephen

Hi,

O-Blog is designed to export as html only. I am not sure the org-export-as-html function handles other formats.

Cheers.

Hi

This page http://orgmode.org/manual/Math-formatting-in-HTML-export.html#Math-formatting-in-HTML-export in org-mode's manual describes the LaTeX:dvipng option. Exporting to html results in the creation of png files which would display each of the latex fragments. I think this would allow the latex fragments to be displayed correctly on a webpage, but I could be wrong. Obviously the functionality may not exist in o-blog to do this presently but I'd like to know how difficult it would be to implement this feature.

Thanks
