The textext inkscape extension makes it possible to create 'latex' objects, which appear as rendered paths, but also possess the original LaTeX source metadata (which can be re-edited). It would be beneficial, when this extension is used, for Inkscape's pdf+latex export option to be smart about the metadata stored in these textext objects, and only place the source in the text overlay file (instead of the textext-rendered SVG graphics). Perhaps better would be to provide an additional switch/option which allows one to choose whether or not the textext sourcecode gets used in the pdf+latex output overlay file.
This offers two advantages: (1) the LaTeX is rendered on the canvas, so you see what the end-product really looks like, and (2) it allows "Export bitmap" to end up generating something that is visually the same as "export pdf+latex".
Currently, in order to create "x-squared" in the exported pdf+latex file, one needs to use an SVG text object containing $x^2$. This LaTeX code renders correctly with pdf+latex export, but remains unrendered if you export to a bitmap or print the SVG. |
