Hi Haochen, You can render svg from latex through org directly. Here is a complete example including a tikz diagram that that works on my system (once I tackle a bug in PGF [1]). It renders - png by default (and for inlining the image into the org document) - nothing for latex (directly include the tikz code into the tex document) - svg for html
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- #+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{tikz} First execute the second code block, to define the convenience macro and to set the required new variables in ob-latex.el. Then export to HTML and to pdf to see the tree exported as an SVG image and as embedded tikz respectively. * Tikz test Here's a tree, exported to both html and pdf. #+header: :file (by-backend (html "tree.svg") (latex "tree.tikz") (t "tree.png")) #+header: :imagemagick :iminoptions -density 600 :imoutoptions -geometry 800 #+header: :results file raw #+header: :fit yes #+begin_src latex \usetikzlibrary{trees} \begin{tikzpicture} \node [circle, draw, fill=red!20] at (0,0) {1} child { node [circle, draw, fill=blue!30] {2} child { node [circle, draw, fill=green!30] {3} } child { node [circle, draw, fill=yellow!30] {4} }}; \end{tikzpicture} #+end_src #+results: [[file:tree.png]] * COMMENT setup #+begin_src emacs-lisp :results silent (setq org-babel-latex-htlatex "htlatex") (defmacro by-backend (&rest body) `(case (if (boundp 'backend) (org-export-backend-name backend) nil) ,@body)) #+end_src --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Regards, Andreas [1] http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/232739 Haochen Xie <haoch...@acm.org> writes: > Hi Fabrice, > > Thank you for mentioning dvisvgm.
