You probably enabled LaTeX formatting, without LaTeX being installed? Actually, I didn't enable it: it was enabled by default, though LaTex in not a dependency for Cantor in Ubuntu 14.04. Probably it is a packaging bug. With LaTeX everything works fine. Thank you. I am unsure if we should at least do an "is 'latex' executable in path" check, but it sounds reasonable. Otherwise, we indeed can blame the distribution. Probably it is really logical to let this option be enabled only if Latex is installed. I'm closing this bug report now. The improvement in TeX typesetting will be tracked in the task https://phabricator.kde.org/T4805 : * allow the user to select between different latex engines (latex, pdftex, tetex, luatex) to allow unicode fonts etc. * disable latex typesetting and output in the worksheet if no latex installation is available * allow to input a complete latex document (with \begin{document}, etc.) in "latex entries" |
When I solve some equations in Cantor (Maxima as a backend, but I don't know if it is essential) result looks strange. Seems like there are problems with parsing it, because there are many odd symbols except the result itself. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Solve any equation using Cantor 2. Look at a result Actual Results: Result looks like: \begin{eqnarray*} \left[ \left[ x=42 , y=14 \right] \right] \end{eqnarray*} Expected Results: There should be a clear answer without any "\right", "\left", "\end"
