<p> <b>Please note:</b> If you're writing your own plugin for mimeTeX, |
|
please don't write php code using <b>system( )</b>, or any other |
|
shell escape mechanism, just to cache images. Use mimeTeX's |
|
<b>-DCACHEPATH=\"<i>path/</i>\"</b> |
|
<a href="#options">compile option</a> instead. |
|
<b>system( )</b> raises security |
|
issues, either real ones if used carelessly, or just in the minds of |
|
system administrators. Either way, I've received many emails from |
|
people unable to use mimeTeX because of unnecessary <b>system( )</b> |
|
calls prohibited by security-conscious sysadmins. MimeTeX itself poses |

minimal risk when used as illustrated above, but you're responsible |

|
that's vertically aligned with your surrounding text. |
|
Along with several standard |
|
<a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html"> |
|
HTTP header fields</a>, mimeTeX also emits a special |
|
<b>Vertical-Align: –<i>nn</i></b> |
|
header, where <b>–<i>nn</i></b> is the number of pixels |
|
(usually negative as illustrated) needed for a |
|
<b>style="Vertical-Align: –<i>nn</i> px"</b> |
|
attribute in the <b><img></b> tag used to |
|
render your expression. </p> |
|
|
|
<p> But mimeTeX's special Vertical-Align: header |
|
is unrecognized and ignored by your browser. You have to get the |
|
header, interpret it, and write the corresponding <img> tag. |
|
The only feasible way to do all this is using a scripting language, |
|
as illustrated by the following, rather naive, php code </p> |
|
<pre class="medium" style="margin-top:.5em;margin-bottom:.5em" |
|
> <?php |
|
$mimetexurl = "http://www.<i>yourdomain</i>.com/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?"; |
|
function verticalalign( $expression ) { |
|
global $mimetexurl; |
|
// note: curl_init() stops at the first whitespace char in $url argument |
|
$expression = ereg_replace(" ","~",$expression); // so remove whitespace |
|
$url = $mimetexurl . $expression; |
|
$valign = "0"; |
|
$ch = curl_init( $url ); |
|
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true ); |
|
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true ); |
|
$gif = curl_exec( $ch ); |
|
$errno = curl_errno( $ch ); |
|
curl_close( $ch ); |
|
if ( $errno == 0 ) { |
|
$fields = explode("Vertical-Align:",$gif); |
|
$vfield = trim($fields[1]); |
|
$fldlen = strspn($vfield,"+-0123456789"); |
|
$valign = substr($vfield,0,$fldlen); } |
|
return $valign; |
|
} |
|
function mimetextag( $expression ) { |
|
global $mimetexurl; |
|
$valign = verticalalign($expression); |
|
$url = $mimetexurl . $expression; |
|
echo ' <img src="',$url,'" '; |
|
echo ' style="Vertical-Align:',$valign,'px" '; |
|
echo ' alt="" border=0>', "\n"; |
|
} |
|
?></pre> |
|
|
|
<p> Now you can write |
|
<?php mimetextag('\frac12\left(a^2+b^2\right)'); ?> |
|
wherever you want to see |
|
<a href="#preview"><img id="imageAV5" onclick="eqntext('imageAV5')" |
|
src="../cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi? |
|
\normalsize\frac12\left(a^2+b^2\right)" |
|
alt="" border=0 style="Vertical-Align:-5px"></a> |
|
correctly aligned. <!-- Besides making you escape backslashes |
|
(each \ must be written \\), --> |
|
This code calls mimeTeX twice to render each expression, |
|
once to get the Vertical-Align: header and build an |
|
<img> tag, and then again to render that tag. |
|
If you're a good php programmer and write better code, |
|
please email me a copy. </p> |
|
|
|
<p> If you're using mimeTeX's |
|
<b>-DCACHEPATH=\"<i>path</i>/\"</b> |
|
<a href="#options">compile option</a>, prefix your |
|
<b><i>path</i>/</b> with a leading <b>%</b> and write |
|
<b>-DCACHEPATH=\"%<i>path</i>/\"</b> instead. |
|
That leading <b>%</b> won't become part of your cache |
|
directory's <b><i>path</i>/</b>, but it will signal mimeTeX |
|
to cache headers along with each image. |
|
Otherwise, the Vertical-Align: information is lost, |
|
and attempts to align cached images will fail. </p> |

where it's only intended as a "template". <br> |
|
|
|
Explanation: mimeTeX writes gif bytes directly to stdout, as usual |
|
for cgi's. But Windows treats stdout as a character stream, |
|
interpreting any hex 0A byte as an <lf>, and automatically |
|
preceding it with a spurious hex 0D <cr> byte. The |
|
-DWINDOWS switch compiles in a non-portable, Windows-specific |
|
_setmode() call that sets stdout to binary mode. </li> |
|
<li> If you're compiling for Windows and would prefer |
|
to install mimeTeX as a Win32 DLL, see the |
|
<a href="http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/Eq2Img.asp"> |

</ul> |
<li> The gfuntype program is only needed if you plan to change the |
<p> And a summary of the steps needed to install mimeTeX is </p> |
font information in texfonts.h, as explained in |
<ul> |
<a href="#fonts">Appendix IVa</a> below. |
<li> Just mv mimetex.cgi to your server's <b>cgi-bin/</b> |
In that case, compile gfuntype with the command <br> |
directory, set permissions as necessary, and you're all done. </li> |
|
<li> Now, to quickly test your mimetex.cgi, try typing a url into |
<b>cc gfuntype.c mimetex.c -lm -o gfuntype</b> </li> |
your browser's locator window something like |
|
<b>http://www.<i>yourdomain</i>.com/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?x^2+y^2</b> |
|
which should display |
|
<img src="../cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?x^2+y^2" alt="" border=0 |
|
align=middle> in the upper-left corner of your window. </li> |
|
<li> After the preceding test succeeds, you can optionally |
|
"regression test" all mimeTeX features as follows:<ul> |
|
<li> mv mimetex.html (this file) to your server's <b>htdocs/</b> |
|
directory </li> |
|
<li> If the relative path from htdocs to cgi-bin isn't |
|
<b>../cgi-bin</b> then edit mimetex.html and change the |
|
few dozen occurrences as necessary (globally changing |
|
<b>../cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi</b> should work). </li> |
|
<li> Now visit your page |
|
<b>http://www.<i>yourdomain</i>.com/mimetex.html</b> </li> |
|
<li> Once mimetex.html displays properly, you can assume |
|
everything is working, and can begin authoring html documents |
|
using mimetex.cgi to render your own math. </li> </ul> |
|
</ul> |
</ul> |
<p> Any problems with the above? |

<h2> <a name="compile"> (IIb) Compile </a> </h2> |
|
|
|
<p> To compile a mimeTeX executable that emits anti-aliased gif images |
|
(which is recommended for most uses) issue the command </p> |
|
<center><b>cc -DAA mimetex.c gifsave.c -lm -o mimetex.cgi</b> |
|
</center> |
|
|
|
<p> Or, for an executable that emits gif images without anti-aliasing, |
|
issue the command </p> |
|
<center><b>cc -DGIF mimetex.c gifsave.c -lm -o mimetex.cgi</b> |
|
</center> |
|
|
|
<p> Alternatively, to compile a mimeTeX executable that emits |
|
mime xbitmaps, just issue the command </p> |
|
<center><b>cc -DXBITMAP mimetex.c -lm -o mimetex.cgi</b> |
|
</center> |
|
|
|
<p> Compile Notes: </p> <ul> |
|
<li> If (and only if) you're compiling a Windows executable with |
|
the <b>-DAA</b> or <b>-DGIF</b> option (but not -DXBITMAP), then |
|
add <b>-DWINDOWS</b> . For example, <br> |
|
<b>cc -DAA -DWINDOWS |
|
mimetex.c gifsave.c -lm -o mimetex.cgi</b> <br> |
|
The above Unix-like syntax works with |

|
<a href="http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/" target="_top">djgpp</a> |
|
Windows compilers, but probably not with most others, |
|
where it's only intended as a "template". <br> |
|
Explanation: mimeTeX writes gif bytes directly to |
|
stdout, as usual for cgi's. But Windows treats |
|
stdout as a character stream, interpreting any hex 0A byte |
|
as an <lf>, and automatically preceding it with |
|
a spurious hex 0D <cr> byte. The -DWINDOWS switch |
|
compiles in a non-portable, Windows-specific _setmode() |
|
call that sets stdout to binary mode. </li> |
|
</ul> |

<p> Once mimetex.cgi is working, mv it to your server's <b>cgi-bin/</b> |

if necessary. Then mv mimetex.html to your server's <b>htdocs/</b> |

the steps needed to install mimeTeX are </p> |
and you should see a page identical to this one. </p> |
<ul> |
|
<li> <b>mv</b> mimetex.cgi (or <b>move</b> mimetex.exe) |
<p> Note: the two directories are typically of the form |
to your server's <b>cgi-bin/</b> directory, wherever cgi |

mimtex.html to get mimetex.cgi from the relative path <b>../cgi-bin/</b>. |
<li> Now you may need to <b>chmod 755 mimetex.cgi</b> |
If your directories are non-conforming, you may have to edit the |

requirements. Contact your system administrator or ISP |
Sometimes a suitable symlink works; if not, you'll have to edit. |
if you're not already familiar with this information. </li> |
Globally changing <b>../cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi</b> often works. </p> |
<li> Once mimetex.cgi is moved to your server's <b>cgi-bin/</b> |
|
directory, with permissions and owner set as necessary, |
<p> Either way, once mimetex.html displays properly, you can assume |
you're all done. </li> |
everything is working, and can begin authoring html documents using |
</ul> |
mimetex.cgi to render your own math. </p> |
|
|
<p> Immediately after installing mimeTeX, test your new mimetex.cgi |
|
by typing a url into your browser's locator window something like <br> |
|
|
|
<b>http://www.<i>yourdomain</i>.com/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?x^2+y^2</b> <br> |
|
which should display |
|
<img src="../cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?\normalsize x^2+y^2" alt="" border=0 |
|
style="Vertical-Align:-3px"> |
|
in the upper-left corner of your window, |
|
just like clicking this link does, which tests my mimetex.cgi, <br> |
|
|
|
<a href="http://www.forkosh.com/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?x^2+y^2" |
|
target="_top">http://www.forkosh.com/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?x^2+y^2</a><br> |
|
If you see the same <img src="../cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi? |
|
\normalsize x^2+y^2" alt="" border=0 style="Vertical-Align:-3px"> |
|
image from the <b><i>yourdomain</i></b> link, then you've completed |
|
a successful mimeTeX installation. </p> |
|
|
|
<p> If you don't see the image, then your installation failed. |
|
If your earlier post-compilation "ascii raster" test |
|
succeeeded, then the problem is probably some server-specific |
|
installation requirement. First make sure you installed mimetex.cgi |
|
in the correct <b>cgi-bin/</b> directory, set the correct <b>chmod</b> |
|
permissions, and typed the correct url into your browser's locator |
|
window. Then contact your system administrator or ISP, |
|
and ask how to install cgi programs on your server. </p> |
|
|
|
<p> After you've successfully installed mimeTeX, and both preceeding tests |
|
have succeeded, you can optionally "regression test" |
|
all mimeTeX features as follows: </p> |
|
<ul> |
|
<li> <b>mv</b> mimetex.html (this file) to your server's |
|
<b>htdocs/</b> directory </li> |
|
<li> Paths to <b>cgi-bin/</b> and <b>htdocs/</b> directories |
|
are typically <b><i>path</i>/www/cgi-bin/</b> and |
|
<b><i>path</i>/www/htdocs/</b>, so I set up mimtex.html |
|
to access mimetex.cgi from the relative path <b>../cgi-bin/</b>. |
|
If your directories are non-conforming, you may have to edit |
|
the few dozen occurrences of <b>../cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi</b> |
|
in your mimetex.html page. Sometimes a suitable symlink works; |
|
if not, you'll have to edit. Globally changing |
|
<b>../cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi</b> usually works. </li> |
|
<li> Now visit your page |
|
<b>http://www.<i>yourdomain</i>.com/mimetex.html</b> </li> |
|
<li> Once your mimetex.html displays properly, you can assume |
|
everything is working, and can begin authoring html documents |
|
using mimetex.cgi to render your own math. </li> |
|
</ul> |
|
|
|
<p> That's all there is to installing mimeTeX. </p>. |

write <b>\hspace{10}</b> to insert a 10-pixel (or any other number) |
and also a backslashed blank |
space, scaled by any preceding <a href="#unitlength">\unitlength</a>, |

(i.e., a <b>\</b> followed by a blank). |
|
For example, |
|
<b>(a\/b\,c\:d\;e\ f\quad g\qquad h)</b> |
|
  renders |
|
<a href="#preview"><img id="spacing2" onclick="eqntext('spacing2')" |
|
src="../cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?(a\/b\,c\:d\;e\ f\quad g\qquad h)" |
|
alt="" border=0 align="middle"></a>. |
|
In mimeTeX, you may also write <b>\hspace{10}</b> |
|
to insert a 10-pixel (or any other number) space, scaled by any |
|
preceding <a href="#unitlength">\unitlength</a>, as illustrated |
|
just above. </p> |
|
|
|
<p> For negative spaces, <b>\!</b> produces a small (two |
|
pixel) negative space, e.g., <b>a=b</b> renders |
|
<img src="../cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?a=b"alt="" border=0 align="bottom"> |
|
whereas <b>a\!=b</b> renders |

<img src="../cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?a\!=b"alt="" border=0 align="bottom"> |
|
and <b>a\!\!=b</b> renders |
|
<img src="../cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?a\!\!=b"alt="" border=0 align="bottom">. |
|
For large negative space, <b>\hspace{-10}</b> permits |
|
a negative argument. But it stops at the first pixel to its left |
|
rather than "erasing" pixels. If you don't want to stop, use |
|
<b>\hspace*{-10}</b> instead. For example, |
|
<b>ABC\hspace*{-20}-DEF</b> renders |
|
<img src="../cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?ABC\hspace*{-20}-DEF" |
|
alt="" border=0 align="bottom">, erasing all of the <b>C</b> |

|
<p> One small problem with the above procedure is that the default |
|
gftype program supplied with most TeX distributions |
|
can't emit the long lines needed to display mimeTeX's larger font |
|
sizes. You'll need to compile your own version from source. |
|
The following instructions are for Unix/Linux: <br> |
|
First, download both |
|
<a href="http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/web2c/web-7.5.3.tar.gz" |
|
target="_top">web-7.5.3.tar.gz</a> and |
|
<a href="http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/web2c/web2c-7.5.3.tar.gz" |
|
target="_top">web2c-7.5.3.tar.gz</a>, |
|
or more recent versions. Then untar them both, |
|
cd web2c-7.5.3/ and run ./configure |
|
and make in the usual way (make may fail before |
|
completion if you don't have all needed fonts installed, |
|
but it will create and compile gftype.c before failing). Now edit |
|
texk/web2c/gftype.c and notice two lines very near the top |
|
that #define maxrow (79)   and similarly for maxcol. |
|
Change both 79's to 1024, and then re-run make. The new |
|
texk/web2c/gftype executable image can emit the long |
|
lines needed for mimeTeX's larger font sizes. </p> |
|
|
|
<p> Finally, the Unix/Linux bash shell script |
|
<a href="http://www.forkosh.com/texfonts.sh" |
|
target="_top">texfonts.sh</a> generates file texfonts.h |
|
containing the information for all 72 mimeTeX fonts discussed above |

(and, optionally, an extra 1200dpi cmr font used to test mimeTeX's |
|
supersampling algorithm). You'll need to understand and edit this |
|
script to use it meaningfully. But it helps automate mimeTeX's font |
|
generation procedure in case you want to experiment with different |
|
fonts. (Note that metafont emits a complaint while generating the |
|
83dpi rsfs font. Just press <CR> and it completes |
|
successfully.) </p> |
