Re: latex fragments compilation error when exporting to html

[Thibault Marin]

Hi,

I can't comment on the rest of the discussion but I think I added this
org-html--unlabel-latex-environment line.  It was part of a change
allowing links to equations in HTML export
(https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2018-01/msg00120.html).

When removing the call to org-html--unlabel-latex-environment, exporting
the following org file to html results in double equation labels (one
from dvipng, one from org to allow links).

,----
| #+OPTIONS: toc:nil html-postamble:nil tex:dvipng
|
| #+NAME: eq-test
| \begin{align}
| 1 + 1 = 0
| \end{align}
|
| link to equation [[eq-test]]
`----
(one could play with tex:mathjax and replace align by align* to see the
possible modes)

If I understand the problem correctly, one solution would be to apply
the environment transformation from env to env* only for math
environments.  Something along the lines of
,----
| (if (eq nil (org-html--math-environment-p latex-environment))
|     latex-frag
|   (org-html--unlabel-latex-environment latex-frag))
`----
may work (there may be a better way to do that).

I hope this helps.

Best,

thibault

  Hello,

  I have found the culprit in the end. It was the function
  org-html--unlabel-latex-environment, int he ox-html.el file.

  I'm not sure this function is useful as I think it is better to give the
  user control on his environment (labelled or unlabelled) directly in his
  org file. I'm I missing something else about the use of this function?

  Anyway it was a good experience at debugging elisp.
