Call latex-path in order to obtain LaTeX output #7

Open mardukbp opened 7 years ago

mardukbp commented 7 years ago

While trying the examples in the README, I discovered that it is necessary to call

(latex-path "/path/to/pdflatex")

in order for render to work. It would be nice to add this so that people can experiment with this nice little CAS.

Which OS do you use? Which path do you have to pdflatex?

mardukbp commented 7 years ago

OS: Ubuntu 16.04

/usr/bin/pdflatex

soegaard commented 7 years ago

Hmm. I see that racket-poppler uses "latex" and not "pdflatex".

Maybe it is racket-poppler that needs to be changed?

Yes. Actually I learned about latex-path in the README of racket-poppler.
