Hello,
I plan to use django for some projects with heavy use of math formulas
and I would like to create a reusable custom field to store LaTeX
strings and to get a png image on disk  after compilation. The usage
would go like this :
model:
formula = LatexField()
template to get the png:
{{model.formula.url}}
Before saving the field, I compile the string on server with LaTeX and
make a png stored in a local file.

I have the following question : I need to store in the database the
LaTeX string as well as the url of the
png image and I wonder how to do it  (I looked at FileField,
ImageField but only the url is saved in the database). Another point,
it would be nice to create a specific form to see the errors during
LaTeX compilation and to correct them before saving the field in the
database.

Any suggestions, starting point in docs ?
Thanks.
