Package: plastex
Version: Newer version available
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I installed the Debian stable available package version od plastex
(2.1-4) and it does hte job, but renders mathematical formaulae as
images and the page layout is quite old fashioned in the default theme.
The webpage of plastex show a more modern appearance and renders math
using mathjax. I could achieve the same results using the version
available via pipx install, where plastex has version 3.1
Is it possible to have the the newest verson available on Debian
repositories?
Best, Alexandre

Hi Alexandre
plastex 3.1 is already in Debian.
Note that new versions of packages don't get added to the existing
stable release as that's a great way of causing breakage.
This version is available in the 'trixie' and 'sid' releases. It should
be possible to backport plastex [1] - I won't be doing that but others
should feel welcome to do so.
It's also probably that the plastex and python3-plastex packages from
trixie will just work in bookworm, but note that I've not tested that at
all.
regards
Stuart
