Converting Latex Documents to Sage Worksheets

Introduction

Latex documents can be translated to jsMath, the tool used to render mathematics in the Sage notebook. This project is about automating the conversion process so that authors can easily use a single command to convert a book-length Latex document to a collection of Sage worksheets. These could have embedded Sage input cells, possibly containing interacts, and the cross-referencing features of Latex would be preserved in the collection of Sage worksheets.

Linear Algebra Patches

This table tracks patches meant to support the teaching of introductory linear algebra and the enhancement of Beezer's "A First Course in Linear Algebra."

Some tickets below that are available for review can be seen building and passing tests at the Sage PatchBot. Failures can be due to improper listing of necessary prerequisites, or builds not caught up with latest alpha version, so do not necessarily mean a ticket is not ready for review.

Items in RED are urgently needed because they are used in textbook additions.

Examples

To view a worksheet, click on the "worksheet" link, then in the resulting page find the big blue download box and use your browser's function to copy the link there. Then open your notebook, click the "Upload" link near the upper-left and then paste in the link into the URL field (the second one).

Note: If your version of Sage is 4.3.2 or older then some examples may not render quite right. See way below for how to edit older configurations.

tex4ht

This is a list of known configurations of tex4ht that seem to work:

sws2tex, Example
Anybody want to try for the round-trip, Latex -> SWS -> Latex?

jsMath Safe Boxes Edit

For Sage versions prior to 4.3.3.alpha0 (sagenb prior to 0.7.5) it is necessary to slightly tweak the jsMath configuration in Sage. It is a one-character edit. You can still view the sections, but "reasons" given in math displays (generally in proofs) won't render right and you will see lots of "@a()" stuff. This was fixed in Trac 8202 for Sage 4.3.3. Check your version of Sage with sage --version.

The file to edit is

SAGE_ROOT/local/lib/python/site-packages/sagenb-0.6-py2.6.egg/sagenb/data/sage/js/jsMath.js

where you might have to adjust the numbering on the sagenb package. Then at line 97 (or thereabouts) make the following change

jsMath.safeHBoxes=1 --> jsMath.safeHBoxes=0
