Let's add a latex attribute to <text> objects that causes external (cached) rendering of LaTeX labels [or KaTeX in future SVG mode, or MathJax?] into SVG.

MathJax actually offers another possibility: render text to SVG and include it directly.

v1.12.0 adds this feature! More precisely, it generates a .tex companion file that includes the .pdf (or .svg if you have the appropriate conversion package) which have the text excluded.

Some limitations:

  • Won't work correctly if <text> or any parent elements have transforms
  • No support for \\ in text yet (could wrap in a {tabular} to get this functionality, like Inkscape, perhaps only when \\ is detected)
  • All <text> elements get extracted. Perhaps there should be a tex/latex attribute to control this. Should the default be on (as it is now) or off? Should decide this soon.
  • Doesn't support currfile despite claiming to
  • Auxiliary .tex files are apparently not appreciated by arXiv.org (it treats them as conflicting with .pdf). Should use .pdftex (like xfig?) or .pdf_tex (like Inkscape). Switched to .svg_tex.

Switch from .tex to .svg_tex extension (#54)

This fixes use of figures in arXiv, which prevents `file.pdf` and `file.tex`
from simultaneously existing.
