I think the conversion of LaTeX to single worksheets is ready for testing. You'll need tex, tex4ht and sagetex at a minimum, with sage installed locally. Most of what you need to know is at the wiki page:
http://wiki.sagemath.org/devel/LatexToWorksheet Download the "Approximating Polynomial Worksheet" example into a notebook if you just want to get a feel for what this is all about. (COPY the following link into the worksheet upload URL field.) http://bit.ly/diWLVA If you are able to test, I'd love to hear about successes and failures, especially relative to heavy use of unicode characters. Thanks, Rob ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Recent Progress: * I think unicode (UTF-8) characters are being handled properly. In other words, if you can get tex4ht to handle your characters properly, then I think they will survive the trip to your worksheet and browser. Robert Marik is largely responsible for this. Maybe those who write with a variety of accented characters will find this useful. * LaTeX files created with sagetex seem to be digestible, and are a natural for this conversion. * Better decisions about what mathematics to leave for jsMath and what to convert, thanks to code from Robert Marik. * tikz graphics and "\includegraphics{}" both get translated properly. tikz graphics get rendered as SVG, other file formats which are "included" are converted to PNG automatically by tex4ht. * Experimental code lets the conversion run as pure python, independent of Sage or the notebook project. To Do: * Portable container for multiple, cross-linked worksheets. * Notebook folders. -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
