LaTex for Slideshow

This package provides a way to use LaTex code directly in Slideshow.

(require (planet stchang/slideshow-tex))

1 Requirements

This package requires the following to be installed:

• Latex

• an updated geometry.sty that includes newgeometry. Check here to download and for install directions.

• imagemagick

2 How to Use

- Inserts input strings into LaTex document (in math mode) and compiles to pdf.

- Uses ImageMagick to convert pdf to png file.

(Temporary files are created in directory "slideshow-texfiles/" and are named "texfile<#>.<ext>" where <#> is the equal-hash-code of the input string and <ext> is the appropriate extension. All temporary files except png file are deleted after the conversion is done.)

- Returns pict using bitmap

- Results of compilation are cached and an existing png file (identified with unique hash) is used instead of recompiling.
