Public bug reported: I have an SVG file which contains text like such, the important part being the double backslash:
$\sboundary f = \left[\begin{array}{c} \gamma_1 = [ (e^\circ, \top) ] \\ \gamma_2 = [ (e^\circ, \top) ] \end{array}\right]$ Using Inkscape 0.91 r13725, on Kubuntu 16.04 64bits, PDF+LaTeX converts the text to the following, that is, replaces the double backslashes by a newline! \put(0.50170692,0.32122315){\color[rgb]{0,0,0}\makebox(0,0)[b]{\smash{$\sboundary f = \left[\begin{array}{c} \gamma_1 = [ (e^\circ, \top) ] \gamma_2 = [ (e^\circ, \top) ] \end{array}\right]$}}}% Which makes LaTeX crash with the error: Runaway argument? {$\sboundary f = \left [\begin {array}{c} \gamma _1 = [ (e^\circ , \top \ETC. ! Paragraph ended before \makesm@sh was complete. <to be read again> \par l.64 \end{array}\right]$}}} % I do need the backslashes so that the array environment knows where the next row starts. It seems Inkscape is trying to be too smart. In a previous version of Inkscape (sorry, I don't know which), this text used to be correctly exported as the following: \put(0.50170692,0.32122315){\color[rgb]{0,0,0}\makebox(0,0)[b]{\smash{$\sboundary f = \left[\begin{array}{c} \gamma_1 = [ (e^\circ, \top) ] \\ \gamma_2 = [ (e^\circ, \top) ] \end{array}\right]$}}}% ** Affects: inkscape (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "mobius-vs-cylinder.svg" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1679487/+attachment/4854000/+files/mobius-vs-cylinder.svg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1679487 Title: PDF+LaTeX incorrectly replaces \\ (two backslashes) by a newline To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inkscape/+bug/1679487/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
