TEX2SVG

Conversions of tex snippets into dvi and then svg using latex and dvisvgm:

tex -- dvi -- svg

This approach is seeking to repace the old Illustrator workflow described in PDF2SVG where PDF files created with pdflatex from latex snippets are fed to Illustrator to parse and generate an SVG with math fonts intact.:

tex -- pdf -- svg

FUNCTIONS

tex2svg-convert-fast dir

convert all .tex found in dir/tex/name.tex into dir/dvi/name.dvi and dir/svgfromdvi/name.svg using dvisvgm, avoiding the commercial Illustrator

A dynamic Makefile is generated to do fast timestamp checks between the source and target files. This means it completes in milliseconds when there are no conversions to do.
