The [[plugins/teximg]] plugin currently has a TODO in the source code to make the preamble configurable. The included [[patch]] makes this change.
The patch also makes some other changes:
- The default latex preamble is changed to the international standard
article class from the European scrartcl class.
- Removed the non-standard
mhchem package from the default preamble.
- Allow the use of
dvipng rather than dvips and convert (convert is not a standard part of a latex install). This is configurable.
-- [[Will]]
I like making this configurable. I do fear that changing what's included
by default could break some existing uses of teximg? That needs to be
considered, and either the breakage documented in NEWS, or avoided. Also,
if mchem is dropped, I think the suggests on texlive-science in
debian/control should probably go? --[[Joey]]
Yes, changing the defaults could break some existing uses. I think in
this case, documenting in NEWS and dropping texlive-science is the
best option. In fact, NEWS should probably document the config
setting to return things to how they were.
The reason I prefer dropping mchem rather than keeping it is that mchem
is non-standard. Now that things are configurable and it is easy to
add in if you want it, having only standard packages by default is a
good thing. Here is a proposed NEWS entry:
File: TexImg standard preamble changed
The [[plugins/teximg]] [[plugin]] now has a configurable LaTeX preamble.
As part of this change the mchem LaTeX package has been removed from
the default LaTeX preamble as it wasn't included in many TeX installations.
The previous behaviour can be restored by adding the following to your ikiwiki setup:
teximg_prefix => '\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage[version=3]{mhchem}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}',
In addition, the rendering mechanism has been changed to use dvipng by default.
If you would like to return to the old rendering mechanism using dvips and convert
then you should add the following line to your ikiwiki setup:
teximg_dvipng => 0,
The LaTeX postfix is unchanged, but is also now configurable using teximg_postfix.
Happy TeXing.
I think that about covers it. -- [[Will]]
