Re: Add LaTeX to SVG support to org-mode

[Suvayu Ali <fatkasuvayu+linux@gmail.com>]

Hi Adam,

As others mentioned, diffs are easier to work with.  Please see the
instructions on the how to contribute page on Worg.

That said, if you do not want to checkout the latest Org (the version
you sent looks like a version that was shipped with Emacs).  You can
still generate a diff.  Copy the original somewhere, and then edit the
copy.  Once done editing, you can generate a diff like this:

$ diff -u /path/to/original/org.el /path/to/edited/org.el > org.el.diff

If you then send the org.el.diff file, people would be happy to look at
it and help you get to a good solution.

Hope this email ecourages you to put in the extra effort :).

Cheers,

I have modified the org.el file to add org-create-formula-image-with-dvisvg. Everything seems to work fine, except that orgmode is unable to find the SVG file and errors "Failed to create svg file from ...". But the file it is looking for does exist.
