Latex command symbols #38

Open John-Pontin opened 2 months ago

John-Pontin commented 2 months ago

I'm trying to figure out how to include symbols in key entries on graphs. For some reason the < > text symbols produce inverted ! ? symbols. Normally I'd use /textgreater as a workaround but this gives an unrecognised control sequence. Attempting to a math environment also seems to not work as it simply prints the $$s.

Hi, it's best to ask this question on the gle mailing list and post some example code. The list address cab be found on the gle webpage.

Apologies, I've asked here because the GLE mailing lists show very little activity and require one to subscribe to post.

The issue I've mentioned is due to the Latex encoder GLE is using being fairly out of date: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2369/why-do-the-less-than-symbol-and-the-greater-than-symbol-appear-wrong-as

Does GLE do the Latex compile internally or is it looking somewhere else on the machine for this?

I believe it uses the external latex, but you might need to enclose it in \tex{}
