Allow math or latex on SVG output

Question

Hello PlantUML team.,

[Precision about my question] Locally that is good, but on the different servers not.

As requested by: https://forum.plantuml.net/12965/about-the-display-of-latex

• Could you allow math (and especially AsciiMath, with MathJax) for SVG output, on the online PlantUML server?

And then, another question:

• What are the best practices to add on the WAR file (or on the plantuml-server)?
  [Hints: manually adding on /WEB-INF/lib/ or not...]

Output examples of online PlantUML server:

• PNG OK:

• SVG KO:

Other example, on www.planttext.com:

Regards,
Th.

Hello,

any progress on this? The bug on online server still persists, i.e. math in SVG output does not work, see. e.g.:

Thanks for PlantUML!

Hello,

Locally it is working, but I follow the last lines of page https://plantuml.com/en/ascii-math:

Since JLatexMath is bigger, you have to download it separately, then unzip the 4 jar files (batik-all-1.7.jar, jlatexmath-minimal-1.0.3.jar, jlm_cyrillic.jar and jlm_greek.jar) in the same folder as PlantUML.jar.

Hello S.,

Thanks for this complement. 

Locally it is working, but my question was more on the (online) server or how to add on the war packet?

I will precise that on the initial post.

Regards,
Th.

Hello Th.

On the server in my office, the 4 files are in the same directory as the plantuml.1.2021.3.jar ( /var/lib/tomcat/webapps/plantuml/WEB-INF/lib/).

Thanks S.,

But I currently use the Java J2EE WAR file?
Perhaps I can add the 4 files on the same sub-dir as plantuml on the WAR file, on:

•  \plantuml.war\WEB-INF\lib\

Th.

Hello Th.

Yes, if you can, try to add the 4 files to the WAR file in the same sub-dir
