Tag Reference

Currently, LaMark supports the following tags:

• math: For inline LaTeX equations. Shorthand for LaTeX's $ symbol.
• displaymath: For larger LaTeX equations. Shorthand for $$.
• pre: Sets the preamble in the generated LaTeX.
• latex: Catchall tag for arbitrary LaTeX. Feeds this straight to the LaTeX interpreter.
• ref: Insert a footnote style reference.
• ref-footer: Insert the footnotes.

math

This renders inline LaTeX equation, using the math environment in LaTeX (usually equivalent to surrounding a LaTeX equations with $).

Example:

{%math alt="Bell Curve"%}
f(x,\mu ,\sigma^2) = \frac{1}{\sigma \sqrt{2\pi}}e^{-\frac{1}{2}(\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma})^2}
{%end%}

Rendered:

Notice that this is slightly shorter and not indented. Contrast with the displaymath tag:

Positional arguments:

[path [alt [title [imgName [imgZoom]]]]]

Keyword arguments:

Every positional argument has a keyword argument of the same name. For example: title="Title of my image!".

Argument descriptions:

• path: The path to the image used in the Markdown image tag.
• alt: The alt text used in the Markdown image tag.
• title: The title text used in the Markdown image tag.
• imgName: The image name for the generated image, including extension (eg, my-image.png)
• imgZoom: The zoom parameter used by dvipng, which corresponds to the dimensions of the generated image. 2000 is the default value. Larger values result in larger images (more zoomed in).

Notes:

• Any whitespace surrounding the body of the tag is stripped.
• By default, the documentclass is set to: \documentclass[fleqn]{standalone}
• By default, the mathtools package is imported.

displaymath

Use this to render indented equations using the displaymath environment in LaTeX (usually equivalent to surrounding a LaTeX equations with $$).

Example:

{%displaymath alt="Bell Curve"%}
f(x,\mu ,\sigma^2) = \frac{1}{\sigma \sqrt{2\pi}}e^{-\frac{1}{2}(\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma})^2}
{%end%}

Rendered:

Contrast this with the math tag above. It is indented, and has a larger vertical dimension.

Positional arguments:

[path [alt [title [imgName [imgZoom]]]]]

Keyword arguments:

Every positional argument has a keyword argument of the same name. For example: title="Title of my image!".

Argument descriptions:

• path: The path to the image used in the Markdown image tag.
• alt: The alt text used in the Markdown image tag.
• title: The title text used in the Markdown image tag.
• imgName: The image name for the generated image, including extension (eg, my-image.png)
• imgZoom: The zoom parameter used by dvipng, which corresponds to the dimensions of the generated image. 2000 is the default value. Larger values result in larger images (more zoomed in).

Notes:

• Any whitespace surrounding the body of the tag is stripped.
• By default, the documentclass is set to: \documentclass[fleqn]{standalone}
• By default, the mathtools package is imported.

latex

This tag lets you embed arbitrary LaTeX. It is recommended that you use the \documentclass{standalone} for a tight crop of the generated image.

Example:

{%latex%}
\documentclass{standalone}
\begin{document}
{\LaTeX}
\end{document}
{%end%}

Rendered:

Positional arguments:

[path [alt [title [imgName [imgZoom]]]]]

Keyword arguments:

Every positional argument has a keyword argument of the same name.

Argument descriptions:

• path: The path to the image used in the Markdown image tag. Defaults to "" (current directory).
• alt: The alt text used in the Markdown image tag. Defaults to path.
• title: The title text used in the Markdown image tag. Defaults to "".
• imgName: The image name for the generated image, including extension (eg, my-image.png)
• imgZoom: The zoom parameter used by dvipng, which corresponds to the dimensions of the generated image. 2000 is the default value. Larger values result in larger images (more zoomed in).

pre

This sets the preamble for all of the tags following this tag. The preamble is the section after the documentclass declaration, but before the \begin{document}. This is useful if the built in arguments for a tag don't offer enough customization.

The default state of the preamble is empty. So, to reset the preamble, simply use an empty pre tag: {%pre%}{%end%}

Example:

This example changes the font of the rendered equation:

{%pre%}
\usepackage[light,math]{iwona}
{%end%}
{%displaymath alt="Bell Curve"%}
f(x,\mu ,\sigma^2) = \frac{1}{\sigma \sqrt{2\pi}}e^{-\frac{1}{2}(\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma})^2}
{%end%}

Rendered:

Positional arguments:

None.

Keyword arguments:

None.

ref and ref-footer

This creates a footnote style reference. This is replaced with a number corresponding to the footnote. The number is hyperlinked to the footnote, and vice versa. The body of the tag contains the actual footnote text.

The footnotes can be placed in the document using the {%ref-footer%} tag. This tag will only contain refs that precede it.

Example:

"To be or not to be"{%ref%}Hamlet{%end%}

{%ref-footer%}

Rendered:

"To be or not to be"¹

1. ^{^} Hamlet

Positional arguments:

None.

Keyword arguments:

None.
