That's possible, but I don't think it's a question of export, but of diagram design. After all, all the tex formats would want to do that same, and you'd write you diagram with the escaping setting in mind. > I assume that it's not possible to give an option to an export filter. > Right? It is not impossible, but it's currently a PITA to do it. PNG export (libart) has options, but I think it'd be as much work to add options to another filter as to make a generic option system. -Lars -- Lars Clausen ([EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://lars.raeder.dk) "I do not agree with a word that you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." --Evelyn Beatrice Hall paraphrasing Voltaire _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/faq.html Main page at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia
