Forks can add features or work in a different way. Read the description before you change to another version. Fork detection is incomplete, so other versions can exist.

Description

Customize the commands Anki uses to generate images from LaTeX code to your needs. This add-on resides on GitHub, please go there for documentation or if you experience issues: https://github.com/trimitri/edit_latex_toolchain The version uploaded here is currently v1.0.

README

edit_latex_toolchain

This is an Anki 2.1 Plugin to customize the LaTeX build process. It is basically a copy of this existing plugin which wasn't compatible with Anki 2.1 at the time.

The Plugin is also uploaded to AnkiWeb.

Installation

This plugin is compatible with Anki 2.1. I didn't test it in 2.0 (Issue #2).

Manual Installation

To use the plugin, first find your Anki 2.1 plugin folder. In Arch Linux, it resides here:

~/.local/share/Anki2/addons21/

If you just clone this repository into that folder and restart Anki, everything should work out of the box. Your directory structure would look as follows:

~/.local/share/Anki2/addons21/edit_latex_toolchain/<files you see here>

Please let me know if it doesn't work or if you have tried it under Windows or Mac and can give info.

AnkiWeb installation

You can also get the Plugin straigt from AnkiWeb to your client: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/933614828

Usage

Adjust the commands in edit_latex_toolchain.py to your needs. Anki 2.1 can be configured to either generate png or svg graphics. Depending on what method you choose, find the appropriate code block. Each line is executed one after another.

For debugging your custom LaTeX toolchain, consider having a look at the generated code and results at /tmp/anki_temp/ (or somewhere else in Windows).

Notes

Anki 2.1 does support MathJax for math rendering. It works for me across AnkiDroid and Anki 2.1 on desktop.
