export - Exporting notebook to HTML, using conversion rules



The idea is to export the whole notebook to HTML with all the math equations in latex form. In this way we can add the mathjax script and it will take care of the math.


Suppose we have the following in a notebook:



This is an equation: $f(x) = x^2$. We let $x \in [0,1]$ for this example.



The following is the expression that generates the above.


Cell[TextData[{
"This is an equation: ",
Cell[BoxData[
FormBox[

RowBox[{
RowBox[{"f", "(", "x", ")"}], " ", "=", " ",
SuperscriptBox["x", "2"]}], TraditionalForm]],
FormatType->"TraditionalForm"],
". We let ",
Cell[BoxData[
FormBox[
RowBox[{"x", " ", "\[Element]", " ",
RowBox[{"[",
RowBox[{"0", ",", "1"}], "]"}]}], TraditionalForm]],

FormatType->"TraditionalForm"],
" for this example."
}], "Text"]

If you look here you will find an example of how to use the conversion rules. Unfortunately, I haven't been very lucky with it, as you can see in one of my previous posts.


In any case, here is an attempt:


ExportString[
Cell[TextData[{"This is an equation: ",
Cell[BoxData[
FormBox[RowBox[{RowBox[{"f", "(", "x", ")"}], " ", "=", " ",

SuperscriptBox["x", "2"]}], TraditionalForm]],
FormatType -> "TraditionalForm"], ". We let ",
Cell[BoxData[
FormBox[RowBox[{"x", " ", "\[Element]", " ",
RowBox[{"[", RowBox[{"0", ",", "1"}], "]"}]}],
TraditionalForm]], FormatType -> "TraditionalForm"],
" for this example."}], "Text"
],
"HTML", "ConversionRules" -> {"TraditionalForm" -> {"$",
Convert`TeX`BoxesToTeX[#] &, "$"}}]


The result is the following html code:



"HTMLFiles/xhtml-math11-f.dtd">






<br/> Untitled<br/>
type="text/css" />






This is an equation: src="HTMLFiles/m0001756441_1.gif" alt="m0001756441_1.gif" width="51" \
height="15" style="vertical-align:middle" />
. We let \
x ∈ [0,1] for this example.














If we try to export to TeX I'm not so lucky either, instead of the dollar signs Mathematica just ignores it and it gives me:


\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath, amssymb, graphics, setspace}


\newcommand{\mathsym}[1]{{}}
\newcommand{\unicode}[1]{{}}

\newcounter{mathematicapage}
\begin{document}

This is an equation: \(f(x) = x^2\). We let \(x \in [0,1]\) for this \
example.


\end{document}

The question is: How do we export a notebook to HTML and TeX so that the math is wrapped around the dollar signs? Any other tips or comments are welcomed.



This conversion rule for HTML might be more useful:


"Text" -> {"

\n",
If[MatchQ[#, _FormBox],
"$" <> Convert`TeX`BoxesToTeX[#[[1]]] <> "$", #] &, "\n

"}

Using that we obtain:




This is an equation: $f(x) = x^2$. We let
$x \in [0,1]$ for this example.



Question now is... how do we get rid of the span tag?



Answer



It seems that every time you open a new cell with no style, that is "", it automatically puts the span tag to it. To to avoid this we can use this rule:


"ConversionRules" -> {
"" -> {"", ""}

}

So now, evaluating


ExportString[
Cell[TextData[{"This is an equation: ",
Cell[BoxData[
FormBox[RowBox[{RowBox[{"f", "(", "x", ")"}], " ", "=", " ",
SuperscriptBox["x", "2"]}], TraditionalForm]],
FormatType -> "TraditionalForm"
],

". We let ",
Cell[BoxData[
FormBox[RowBox[{"x", " ", "\[Element]", " ",
RowBox[{"[", RowBox[{"0", ",", "1"}], "]"}]}],
TraditionalForm]], FormatType -> "TraditionalForm"
],
" for this example."}
], "Text"],
"HTML",
"FullDocument" -> False,

"ConversionRules" -> {
"Text" -> {"

\n", If[MatchQ[#, _FormBox], "$" <> Convert`TeX`BoxesToTeX[#[[1]]] <> "$", #] &, "\n

"},
"" -> {"", ""}
}
]

Now we obtain the desired result:



This is an equation: $f(x) = x^2$. We let $x \in [0,1]$ for this example.

mathematical optimization - Minimizing using indices, error: Part::pkspec1: The expression cannot be used as a part specification

I want to use Minimize where the variables to minimize are indices pointing into an array. Here a MWE that hopefully shows what my problem is. vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@ { Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; Minimize[{Total@((vec1[[#]] - vec2[[u[#]]])^2 & /@ Range[1, 3]), cons}, vars, Integers] The error I get: Part::pkspec1: The expression u[1] cannot be used as a part specification. >> Answer Ok, it seems that one can get around Mathematica trying to evaluate vec2[[u[1]]] too early by using the function Indexed[vec2,u[1]] . The working MWE would then look like the following: vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@{ Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; NMinimize[ {Total@((vec1[[#]] - Indexed[vec2, u[#]])^2 & /@ R...

functions - Get leading series expansion term?

Given a function f[x] , I would like to have a function leadingSeries that returns just the leading term in the series around x=0 . For example: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x)] x and leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x^3)/4)/(4 + x)] -(1/(16 x^3)) Is there such a function in Mathematica? Or maybe one can implement it efficiently? EDIT I finally went with the following implementation, based on Carl Woll 's answer: lds[ex_,x_]:=( (ex/.x->(x+O[x]^2))/.SeriesData[U_,Z_,L_List,Mi_,Ma_,De_]:>SeriesData[U,Z,{L[[1]]},Mi,Mi+1,De]//Quiet//Normal) The advantage is, that this one also properly works with functions whose leading term is a constant: lds[Exp[x],x] 1 Answer Update 1 Updated to eliminate SeriesData and to not return additional terms Perhaps you could use: leadingSeries[expr_, x_] := Normal[expr /. x->(x+O[x]^2) /. a_List :> Take[a, 1]] Then for your examples: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x), x] leadingSeries[Exp[x], x] leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x...

What is and isn't a valid variable specification for Manipulate?

I have an expression whose terms have arguments (representing subscripts), like this: myExpr = A[0] + V[1,T] I would like to put it inside a Manipulate to see its value as I move around the parameters. (The goal is eventually to plot it wrt one of the variables inside.) However, Mathematica complains when I set V[1,T] as a manipulated variable: Manipulate[Evaluate[myExpr], {A[0], 0, 1}, {V[1, T], 0, 1}] (*Manipulate::vsform: Manipulate argument {V[1,T],0,1} does not have the correct form for a variable specification. >> *) As a workaround, if I get rid of the symbol T inside the argument, it works fine: Manipulate[ Evaluate[myExpr /. T -> 15], {A[0], 0, 1}, {V[1, 15], 0, 1}] Why this behavior? Can anyone point me to the documentation that says what counts as a valid variable? And is there a way to get Manpiulate to accept an expression with a symbolic argument as a variable? Investigations I've done so far: I tried using variableQ from this answer , but it says V[1...
