The textext extension should be packaged

[David Monniaux]

http://pav.iki.fi/software/textext/ is a very nifty extension available under a free license, and should probably be packaged. Wishlist.

Any thoughts from upstream developers about the suitability of Textext for inclusion in the default extensions library?

It's probably not a good idea from a usability perspective to include Textext, "Extensions->Render->LaTeX Formula" and export PDF+LaTeX all in the same default installation... too many similar options is a "Bad Thing"

[Alex Valavanis (valavanisalex)]

The developers are unlikely to include Textext at the moment, because there are already a couple of LaTeX support extensions in place. I'll change the status to "Opinion" so that this can be discussed further.
