Since the days when Publicon seemed the way Wolfram was going, I find
that Mathematica is today rather good at providing a useful .tex
output.
I want to detail my experience and caveats here, for others to comment
and add and try to streamline a simple way to obtain a usable LaTeX
file.
(P.S. current M* version is 8.0.4.0)
1) save your notebook as filename.tex file
2) For some reason M* inserts a lot of "\\" lines, which latex
complains about - I don't know latex so I cant comment about it. I
simply edited the tex file using perl:
> perl -ni -e 'print unless $_ eq "\\\\\n"' filename.tex
3) Add \end{document} as the last line, since M* forgets about it
4) dont compile with pdflatex ('cause it doesnt support .eps graphics)
but with:
> latex filename.tex
> dvipdf filename.pdf
*) remaining issues
- warnings: Overfull \hbox (154.38937pt too wide) in paragraph at
lines ....
Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) in paragraph at lines ...
checking I saw it due to long Mathematica commands: try to
edit them in Mathematica, and optionally
insert \hspace*{2em} where needed
