Hi,
I've been using a ZClass for LaTeX documents that I put together in a
manner very similar to the one described in making a ZClass for STX
documents at http://www.zope.org/Members/tseaver/STX_Document I like
to mark things up in LaTeX as I can type it faster than HTML, I can
create very nice printouts in PDF or PostScript and there is a nice
renderer into HTML called tth.
There are a few annoyances that I would like some help on.
* I am using tth (http://hutchinson.belmont.ma.us/tth/) which can
convert LaTeX into HTML quite well. In order to do so, when
uploading the tex file or changing the tex file, I call tth and
store the HTML along with the tex source. My DTML for this is
Which if there is a new file upload stores it in body_tex, and then
takes body tex and run tth on this to create the body_html.
When I do this though, the tth is called on the old body_tex data, not
the recently stored one. Because of this, I have to change the file
twice.
Any ideas as to why and how I can fix this? My guess is
subtransactions, but I don't know how to fix that.
* Ideally, I would like to be able to call the latex file this way
(or even better just as )
where tth is a method which takes a latex document and returns
HTML. I couldn't figure out how to do this though. How does one go
about defining new format methods for ZClasses? I would imagine it
isn't hard, I just need to know where to look.
* If that isn't too hard, I would also like to know how to make this
an option for markup in SquishDot. I have a math class using this as
a discussion board, and it would be nice to let them use basic LaTeX
for math markup.
Thanks for any pointers.
