[emacs-wiki-discuss] help needed on using latex with emacs-wiki

[Hui Zhou]

Hi there,

 

I have been confused for quite a while by using latex formula in emacs-wiki.  You help is really appreciated on that.

 

I have downloaded the necessary *.el files and configured my .emacs file as instructed on http://www.sfcu.ca/~gswamina/EmacsWikiBlog. However, when I try the following simple _expression_ in a wiki page

   <latex prefix="Ma">

       $$ a = 0$$

    </latex>

I get the error message as

 "Failed to create png file

  The latex folder does not exist!

  * emacs-wiki-tmp*: Error occurred: (wront-type-argument integer-or-marker-p nil)

 

I have auctex properly install on my ubuntu system and I can properly preview latex in latex-mode.  So I really have no idea what can be wrong with that. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

 

Hui
