1 | % More on the Architecture of math.kleen.org | ||
2 | |||
3 | It's been more than a month since the last post here. Sorry about that. But I | ||
4 | have now implemented a nice and fancy new feature for math.kleen.org, namely | ||
5 | theorem environments: | ||
6 | <thm> | ||
7 | This could be your theorem here! | ||
8 | </thm> | ||
9 | <cor> | ||
10 | Some theorems come with corollaries. | ||
11 | </cor> | ||
12 | How these work ties in quite well with describing how LaTeX formulas are | ||
13 | converted to SVG for display in your browser. For example: | ||
14 | $$ | ||
15 | \int_{\partial M}\omega = \int_M\dd\omega | ||
16 | $$ | ||
17 | |||
18 | Both these features are accomplished via extensive processing with | ||
19 | [Pandoc](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandoc). For converting LaTeX snippets | ||
20 | into SVG, I have a little Haskell program that takes Pandocs native format, | ||
21 | extracts all math snippets and compiles them with latex and dvisvgm. This | ||
22 | program sits in the build subdirectory in | ||
23 | <https://github.com/vkleen/math.kleen.org>. | ||
24 | |||
25 | For the theorem environment I patched the Markdown reader to convert mock HTML | ||
26 | tags like `<thm>` or `<cor>` into proper HTML. That way I can also retain the | ||
27 | possibility of converting posts into LaTeX and make PDFs out of them. | ||
28 | |||
29 | I'm not sure whether I will continue documenting this software like that. But if | ||
30 | I ever write a redo replacement there will probably a few posts on the process. | ||
