Hey Ihor,

I think we might be talking about different levels on both points.

I’m only referring to the user interface here, not internals (which I
don’t really have a strong opinion on). I interpreted “providing an
export backend” as something like my first message, where the user
needs to go through a derived backend separate from ox-html. Are you
talking about the implementation or interface?

Certainly it’s wired up to do that, or dvipng and imagemagick wouldn’t
work, but there’s no way to use anything else. For example, try
exporting this to ODT:

#+OPTIONS: tex:dvisvgm
\( a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \)

Am I missing something?

Thanks,
