Yes, I've tested it with the google chart api and it works. I plan to use it with a template for pypdf to minimize alignment issues. Although it would be better if we could just "render" the html produced by mathajax (or similar) but server side and then use it. El viernes, 21 de junio de 2013

You are right. No latex on GAE. I cannot think of any other way to render formulas in PDF without latex. On Thursday, 20 June 2013 12:04:18 UTC-5, peibol wrote: > > Does it requires pdflatex, doesn't it? I think it's not supported in GAE. > > El jueves, 20 de junio de 2013 18:59:44 UTC+2, Massimo

Does it requires pdflatex, doesn't it? I think it's not supported in GAE. El jueves, 20 de junio de 2013 18:59:44 UTC+2, Massimo Di Pierro escribió: > > Why not use markmin2latex or markmin2pdf (itsuses latex inside) > > On Thursday, 20 June 2013 17:53:58 UTC+2, peibol wrote: >> >> Hi all >> >> I'
