Ads support for math symbols/commands to kopetex
Just confirming this bug. The plugin seems useless without more packages, especially as the primary use is typesetting formulae. I just committed the patch from comment 1. Will close bug now. *** Bug 121625 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |

As a result, many reasonably common equations cannot be displayed, but worse, they are simply displayed incorrectly (no error or warning is issued) an example could be: $$\binom{n}{2}^2$$ which is displayed like so: http://users.skumleren.net/cers/kopetex/before.png instead of the the intended: http://users.skumleren.net/cers/kopetex/after.png The converter is (on my system) placed here: /usr/kde/3.5/bin/kopete_latexconvert.sh and I will attach a patch that will fix most of these problems. I understand that one should not include too many strange packages, but I think it would be smart to at least include the most commonly used ones. By the way, it isn't sufficient to correct this problem on only the senders side, as it is converted both at sender and receiver side.
