[sage-support] Re: using latex packages
Hi Maike, Have you heard of sagetex? This allows sage computations as part of the compilation of a latex file. From my experience, this is not very good for interactive work because all the code within the latex file is compiled every time you run sage over your document, but it's great for getting a nicely typeset document that does all the sage calculations and plots you want. Check out: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/sagetex/ I believe that this would allow you to use any latex functionality you like.

There is no current supported way to do the above. It shouldn't be hard for somebody to add though. How complicated of a pre-amble do you want? Would something like the following be acceptable to you? sage: latex.set_preamble('\\usepackage{ngerman} [etc]') then henceforth %latex would always include the \usepackage{ngerman} code before typesetting a cell. The above would be extremely easy to implement. -- William --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---

Hi William, That sounds great to me. As long as it'll allow me to load the ngerman package in the notebook version of Sage, that'll do. Thanks! Maike P.S. And thanks Stan for the hint! I didn't know sagetex. As I'm using the notebook to combine latex typesetting with the interact functionality of Sage, it's probably not the best idea. But it might be helpful for future projects! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---
