Error while using \text command inside math mode #4

Closed sondretordal closed 6 years ago

sondretordal commented 6 years ago

Hi,

I get the following error message when I try to use the \text command inside math mode. The extension works otherwise:

Message: Command "pdflatex c:\users\motion~1\appdata\local\temp\tmplpg5_z\tmp.tex -interaction=nonstopmode -halt-on-error" failed (code 1):

Also Inkscape crashes when I use "Text with Latex (GTK3)" instead of using "Text with Latex " only.

I am using Windows 10 and Inkscape 0.92.2 togeher with MikTex.

I think you have to load the amsmath package in the Latex preamble to use \text{}.

Ok, I understand. But where do I put the preamble file? I tried to put in the same solder as the *.svg file, also I tried the root folder of the "latextext.py" file location. Both times it crashes and the error message says it cant find the "mathpremable.tex" file.

Any suggestions?

Sorry, took a few weeks to answer... You have to give the full path to the preamble file (you can select it by clicking on the "..." button).

To make things easier I have just added an additional parameter field in the UI where one an add a list of additional packages to be loaded. amsmath and amssymb are the default. You can use the current masster branch version of the extension to give it a try.

Thanks for building this! I was having issues with the \text{} functino as well. I couldn't get the preamble to work on the windows install, nor could I see the "additional packages" field. I downloaded the Linux install files and put the .inx and .py files into the Inkscape extensions folder and now I can see the additional packages field and it works perfectly, just seems like the windows installer file needs updating.

Thanks again!

Yes, it will be in the installer with the next release.
