Source code listings 1) Source code blocks: Using #+BEGIN_SRC js works for HTML output, but not for LaTeX/PDF. It seems js is not understood by the listings package, and I have to use java. 2) Even with java, the output is pretty ugly. Any way to get some color in there? B. Graphics I've tried TikZ, GraphViz dot and ditaa. I believe TikZ has the most potential, once I learn all the options and attributes. However, I'm stuck on a couple of things: 1) How to I get TikZ graphics to fit on a page? The TikZ pictures are always on a separate page in my org PDF output. 2) I'd really like to get all my graphics in SVG format, so the text would be searchable, clickable, etc. However, I haven't found a way to get TikZ output into SVG, or to get SVG into LaTeX. (Yes, I'm aware of the svg package, which requires Inkscape, but even after installing that, I can't get svg images to work in LaTeX.) I've Googled all of these, and tried to understand the answers, though many take a complete understanding of yet another package/tool/etc. It's getting very discouraging. I'd really like to use org-mode, but I'm wondering if AsciiDoc or even MarkDown might be easier. Thanks, -pd -- Peter Davis www.techcurmudgeon.com
