Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: LaTeX equation as figure in DocBook XML
Hello, I want to include some equations as figures in a DocBook document. From my research I gather there are several ways to solve this problem, but I am constrained by wanting to use XML source, then via XSL-FO to PDF with XEP, so this rules out any use of TeX within the toolchain itself. I am reasonably happy with using PNG as the image format (XEP seemed to _almost_ accept EPSI, but there was no output) but my initial experiments have produced mediocre results. I have tried: LaTeX -> DVI (with LaTeX, using \pagestyle{empty}) DVI -> PS (with dvips) PS -> PNM (with convert) PNM -> PNM (with pnmcrop to get the equation alone) PNM -> PNG (with pnmtopng) The image quality is mediocre, and too small. There would seem to be a number of points in the chain where I could try to increase the image size, and I will go on to try GIF as a format to see if the resulting bitmap is better. I have a feeling others may have previously invented this wheel -- what do people recommend in this setting? -- Paul. mailto:paulh@logicsquad.net mailto:paul.hoadley@student.adelaide.edu.au
