TeX implementation to formulas

Reported by: Owned by: tarmo jukka blocker 2.0rc1 generic

Description

Add support for TeX formulas in text chapters. Any string that is contained between \(...\) like

``` \(\Large c=sqrt{a^2+b^2}\)
```

should (when rendering) be replaced by

``` <img src="[TEXLOCATION][FORMULA]" alt="[FORMULA]"/>
```

for example:

``` <img src="/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?\Large c=sqrt{a^2+b^2}" alt="\Large c=sqrt{a^2+b^2}"/>
```

The location TEXLOCATION should be a site-wide property that by default points to

```http://www.forkosh.dreamhost.com/mimetex.cgi?
```

and can be changed to a local installation of the mimetex binary (or any method that can render an image from some tex formula.

Details for finding the tex formula:

• the formula begins after any sequence of "\("
• the formula ends right before a sequence of "\)"
• several formulas can be on the same line
• the starting sequence without the ending sequence is ignored

Do this with regexps so that it's fast enough.
