Subject: [l2h] Converting math statements only into images...
[snip]
I'd like my students to write their equation in a basic latex file,
like:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\[
test(\frac{2}{3})
\]
\end{document}
and then have a simple script that does something like the following:
$ latex2png test.tex
[snip]
A couple of possible approaches using ImageMagick:
1. A simple bash script:
/usr/bin/latex --interaction=batchmode temp.tex
/usr/bin/dvips -E temp.dvi -o temp.ps
/usr/bin/convert -density 120 -trim -transparent "#FFFFFF" temp.ps image.png
applied to temp.tex:
\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
$formula goes here$
\end{document}
and the result is image.png containing whatever formula is put in temp.tex
2. Use a PHP page on the net where the students input the code and the image is
then produced for copying. See
http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/LaTeX/AoPS_L_TeXer.php for an example and
the demo folder of the LatexRender download
at http://www.mayer.dial.pipex.com/tex.htm for the code.
