Add Math Support
Rationale
I often wanted to have a tool that allows complicated layouts but still is easy to use. This is exactly what scribus does. However for scientific papers I lacks one main capability: Formulas. So I want to add these as my summer of code project.
Details
In IRC we came to the conclusion that it probably is the best to use a approch like MathSetter.
- Let the user enter LaTeX source (perhaps using LyX's editor)
- Run latex
- Read latex's output
- Display this output instead of the source.
Links
- TeX Rendering (Discussion)
- Math support (Discussion)
- KFormula (Formula editor, output does not look satisfying)
- TeXmacs (very good looking formula editor, not based on TeX or Emacs despite its name)
- LyX (WYSIWYG LaTeX editor)
