Bruce, we're grappling with a similar issue, and hope that a workable solution/suggestion will be provided. One thing that might work is to issue some to of command/shell escape (plugin?) that sends back the appropriate verbage back to asciidoc based upon the current configuration. If such a method is available, it would make the multiplexing transparent to asciidoc. On a related note, I found this tool, written by the venerable John Walker, that translates Latex to GIF. http://www.fourmilab.ch/webtools/textogif/textogif.html [...] If you want to convert an entire LaTeX document into HTML, use LaTeX2HTML, by Nikos Drakos. But if you just want to typeset some equations for a new Web document, it's cumbersome to first write your document in LaTeX, convert it into HTML, then add links and additional functionality in the HTML text. Also, it's nice to be able to control the size of an equation image and the resolution with which it's rendered equation-by-equation; this isn't possible with a bulk document translator such as LaTeX2HTML. Textogif is a simple Perl program which uses the same software tools employed by LaTeX2HTML to compile individual equations in short LaTeX files into images suitable for embedding in Web documents. This 1996 (yikes) article offers some ideas for pre-processing .html-like files into .html, converting Latex formulae into graphics inserts as it goes. ftp://ftp.colorado.edu/cuboulder/econ/public_html/HTeX/htex.htm -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "asciidoc" group.
