I usually don't need to export it, but recently I was trying to export it to PDF and HTML and I had the same doubt with a block o tikz code. It would be nice if org had a begin_tikz block. This block could either create a PDF file or include the tikz code directly in the latex file when exporting to latex (or PDF), and create an SVG file when when exporting to HTML. Of course this block should accept all the usual image options, such as caption and width. This is just a feature request from a tikz lover. -- Darlan At Fri, 07 Oct 2011 09:14:20 -0600, Eric Schulte wrote: > > Nick Dokos writes: > > > Torsten Wagner wrote: > > > >> Hi all, > >> Hi Eric (hehehe because most likely you read it ;) ) > >> > >> I try for the first time to write an entire article in org-mode. > >> I do so, because with the tags :export: :noexport: I can easily keep > >> my personal notes and todos "hidden" and the final export will be just > >> what I want to publish. > >> Furthermore, I'm interested to do my data evaluation in python blocks > >> within the org-file itself, keeping all nicely together. > >> > >> At the moment I try to add a tikz picture to the manuscript.
