Is there a way to control the resolution of PNG LaTeX formulas when you export to HTML?
You can control the font size directly in the header but there doesn't seem to be a way to use org-mode to control the resolution...
BTW, I'm not exporting to LaTeX directly because I'm using PrinceXML to convert the HTML file to a PDF.

I've implemented this.
You can define the :html-resolution in `org-format-latex-options'.
Please test and report any problem.

Am I right in understanding that if we increase html-resolution the
resulting images will come out larger in a web browser; i.e that there
is no way to maintain the images the same size while making them appear
"sharper" in a web browser?

Hi Uriel,
Could you tell us a bit about what the advantages of PrinceXML are? One
question I have is: is it possible to get vector graphics (ps, pdf)
incorporated into the resulting pdf? Is there an open source
alternative? (I've been doing this with "print to file" in the print
dialog box in a web browser in linux).

htmldoc (see http://www.htmldoc.org/)
It comes with a GUI and is free enough to be in Debian.
Not sure if it is that perfect, but when ever I tried it it worked.
Didn't use it for ages. I use Org mode and LaTeX2e instead ;)

Can you point me to an example that shows how to make source code in
latex look (almost) as nice as html?
In case anyone has any enlightenment, a quick try suggests that htmldoc
doesn't work out-of-the-box on html produced by org-mode (error below).
/tmp> htmldoc --webpage -f x.pdf x.html

That is supposed to work with the `listings' package. I havent tried
that yet.
I still use my old LaTeX headers and write verbatim LaTeX code. I'd
like to switch though, since it's a lot to type.
Here is an example:
[-- Warning: decoded text below may be mangled, UTF-8 assumed --]

\begin{codeblock}
\keyword{public function}~\func{\_\_construct}~(\increaseindent[15]\doindent

\variable{\$z}~=~\konstante{MAP\_STANDARD\_ZOOM},\doindent
\variable{\$centerX}~=~-1,\doindent
\variable{\$centerY}~=~-1,\doindent
\variable{\$highlights}~=~\keyword{true},\doindent
\variable{\$spots}~=~\keyword{false}\doindent
)\resetindent
\end{codeblock}
[-- Attachment #3: Type: text/plain, Size: 178 bytes --]
Looks horrible, does it?
You can find the "listings.pdf" documentation here:
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/listings/

If I understand you right, here's such an example you're after:

You're right.
Actually having a :resolution would perhaps make sense, at least for
consistency sake. What do you (and the OP) think?
> i.e that there is no way to maintain the images the same size while

I guess this is related to the quality of the png, which is defined by
the -Q switch for dvipng. Would you like to set this as well?

I would not think that we need this change, the :scale and :html-scale
parameters do this for in-buffer display and html formatting,
respectively.
Please revert this change.

Wow, that's really nice. Thanks for sharing that. I think we should aim
to get to a point where org-mode can produce such nicely formatted
source code out-of-the-box. Maybe we could even make latex inherit the
colours and fonts that emacs is currently using for source code mark up?
I was going to suggest doing this with listings but then came across
minted, and I wonder whether that's even more suitable? (See the other
post I just made.)

I really thought that you used such a thing for a long time, having done so
much for Org-Babel. Maybe you were more interested by the execution stuff,
rather than its printing? For me, the opposite: I was much interested by the
printing, now by accessing all the power of Babel.

I share your point. I'm willing to participate, or even begin, such a page on
Worg, with the above info.

For sure, that'd be nice. You mean the way htmlize works, and keeps my colors,
right?
Dunno what it implies for Org-LaTeX... Generating your own class customization,
and having it loaded by default (in the list of LaTeX packages)?

Never heard about it before, while I'm trying to follow info about TeX as
well.
I'm very impressed by the quality and reaction time of
french.computers.text.tex. So, I decided to ask them what they thought about
Listings vs Minted.
See on [[http://groups.google.com/groups/search?as_umsgid%3D87lj8gp4rr.fsf%40mundaneum.com][Email from Sébastien Vauban: Listings vs Minted]]
What's interesting is that 2 brilliant people of that list responded on that.
I could try to translate the whole, but there already is a lot. Just
highlighting that they don't trust that much all the facts that have been used
against Listings (and prove what they say): about Utf-8, or the number of
languages, etc.
They agree with one inconvenient of Listings: the fact that, by default, it
uses bad settings (like no color, and proportional font).
On the other hand, they don't like implying the use of an external language to
LaTeX. Impacts on shell-escape.
The discussion is going on. I'll keep you posted.
For sure, the objective of getting better out-of-the-box is a goal we can
reach.
Best regards,
Seb

You're probably right that I should have looked into it. But seeing as
the HTML export of code is so nice and requred no configuration, I never
got round to it. Although I did write my Ph.D. in latex, and I am
enjoying using the listings package for formatting pseudocode in a paper
which I'm supposed to be writing, I do need to become better friends
with latex, it's true.

Usage of listings is controlled by the variable
`org-export-latex-listings', so the simplest start would be: if that is
non-nil then code like yours could be inserted into the latex output.

Hey, I never said that! :)
I said it might be better *for export of code from org-mode*. But
seriously, no problem, in addition to my character assassination, from
what I could make out they made lots of good points. Although I will
watch out now if I come across any francophones who look like they might
be tex enthusiasts (wouldn't one always...)
What I meant is that seeing as org-users who set
`org-export-latex-listings' get black and white code with ugly fonts by
default, there are two improvement options for us:
1. we work on incorporating nice listings configuration into org mode so
that Org users get nice colours and fonts by default
2. we add an option to allow Org users to use the minted package, which
gives them nice colours and fonts automatically.
(2) was easy and so I did it straight away. And (1) is still something
we want to do, not least because listings is in standard latex
distributions and doesn't have an extra python requirement. Assuming
that minted/pygments are stable software that will be around for a
while, I would vote for both options ultimately being available in
org-mode.

Hi Dan,
One of the design goals of LaTeX is to use semantic markup in the
source and to keep details of representation separate, typically in a
style or class file that is used to render the semantic markup. From
this perspective, the cleanest implementation would be to create a
LaTeX style or class file for use with org-mode, where the gory
details of listings vs. minted, etc. could be worked out. This would
leave org-mode to do what it does very well, which is to identify and
mark the relevant semantic units, and would at the same time simplify
org-mode configuration.
For the user, this would require the org-mode.sty or org-mode.cls file
be placed somewhere LaTeX could find it and creating an export target
for it in .emacs.
This might not qualify as "out of the box" but the looser coupling
between org-mode and LaTeX is likely to be a plus in the long run.
All the best,
Tom

Yes, although may I repeat that in the case of minted there are no gory
details. The patch I submitted already works to give org users
out-of-the-box pretty fontified code with nothing more required than
installation of pygments and putting minted.sty in a suitable
place. Pending the work on listings that you and Seb and I are
proposing, the minted patch is therefore a useful advance for org
mode. It can always be removed later if it becomes clear that it is
completely redundant in view of newly improved org/listings support.
But yes, absolutely, what you say is definitely helpful for those
planning work on improving listings support.

Hi Dan,
Yes, sorry, "gory" was off the mark.
I think your approach with minted, etc. to gain out of the box
functionality like this is very useful. I'm following the
conversation with interest because I am planning a publication that
includes some code snippets. My reservation comes from a decade of
creating and maintaining LaTeX code. When I violate the separation of
semantics and implementation in a .tex file, I come to regret it
sooner or later. Old .tex files with non-semantic markup typically
need editing before they can be used again with a different style file.
Thinking through this a bit more, I can see that this is not really an
issue if the .org source is always the master document--the .tex file
can later be regenerated to meet the requirements of a new style. I
guess the implementation choice is dependent on the expected use life
of the LaTeX code generated by org-mode. If the LaTeX code is just an
intermediate step in a single process, then it is probably best to
have org-mode specify all the LaTeX implementation details. If the
LaTeX code is the goal, and will have its own use life independent of
the org-mode file that created it, then the implementation details in
the .tex file will eventually get in the way.
All the best,
Tom
