# MaTeX

Create LaTeX labels in *Mathematica*.

See [the blog post](http://szhorvat.net/pelican/latex-typesetting-in-mathematica.html) for a detailed introduction to MaTeX and up to date troubleshooting information.

## Installation

**In Mathematica 11.3 or later, simply evaluate `ResourceFunction["MaTeXInstall"][]` to install or upgrade MaTeX.**

In older versions that do not support resource functions, follow the manual installation instructions:

 - [Download the latest release](https://github.com/szhorvat/MaTeX/releases), distributed as a `.paclet` file, and install it using the `PacletInstall` function in Mathematica.  For example, assuming that the file `MaTeX-1.7.10.paclet` was downloaded into the directory `~/Downloads`, evaluate

    ```mma

    Needs["PacletManager`"]

    PacletInstall["~/Downloads/MaTeX-1.7.10.paclet"]

    ```

    The most convenient way to obtain the path to a file is Mathematica's Insert → File Path... menu command.

 - Make sure that [a TeX system](https://tug.org/begin.html) and Ghostscript 9.15 or later are installed.  

     For Windows and Linux, the latest Ghostscript is available from [its official download page](http://ghostscript.com/download/gsdnld.html).  

     On OS X, MacTeX 2015 and later already include a compatible version of Ghostscript. If you use an older TeX distribution that doesn't, please obtain a recent Ghostscript from [Richard Koch's page](http://pages.uoregon.edu/koch/).

 - Evaluate ``< "Necklace"], "Downloading...", Right],

        Print["Downloading..."]

      ];

      URLSave[download, target]

      ,

      Return[$Failed]

    ];

    If[FileExistsQ[target], PacletManager`PacletInstall[target], $Failed]

  ]

```

After evaluating the function definition above, just run `updateMaTeX[]`, then ``< True` ensures that the the output height is at least one line height

 - Added `LineSpacing` option

 - The size of vertical borders is slightly different now: use `LineSpacing -> {0, 14.4}` to reproduce the older behaviour

 - Bug fixes

#### Version 1.1.1

 - Reliability fixes for Windows

 - Windows: Work around Mathematica bug causing MaTeX to fail when the current directory has special characters in its name

 - Windows: Ensure that auto-detected paths do not use `/` as path separator

#### Version 1.1.0

 - MaTeX now attempts to automatically detect the location of Ghostscript and pdflatex on first run

 - Syntax highlighting for MaTeX functions (added SyntaxInformation)

 - Minor bug fixes and reliability fixes

#### Version 1.0.0

 - Minor bug fixes and compatibility fixes

#### Version 0.3

 - Bug fixes and other compatibility fixes: works with XeTeX and behaves better on Windows.  

#### Version 0.2

 - Automatic baseline alignment.  MaTeX output is now perfectly aligned with Mathematica text.

 - Improved positioning accuracy

 - Added `FontSize` option (now requires the `lmodern` package)

 - Support for some accented characters

 - More robust `Magnification` handling

#### Version 0.1

 - Initial release

## Feedback

MaTeX was primarily created for my own needs.  However, if you find it useful, feel free to drop me an email.
