A new version (v1.2) of my python script for converting markdown to latex is now done. markdown2latex (renamed from mkdn2latex) has been extensively refactored to become a proper python-markdown extension. This means it can be used seemlessly alongside plain markdown conversion, as well as independently whether as a module or, in its classic form, from the command line.

In addition for ease of installation it has also been turned into a proper python package and registered on pypi so you can just do:

$ easy_install markdown2latex

Alternatively you can still get it straight from the repository at:

    Hey, I try to install this using easy_install with 2.6

    I get this error: https://gist.github.com/966869

    ideas?

  2. Julian says:

    Same here with Python 2.7 and Python-Markdown 2.0.3. Seems that Python-Markdown has changed its internals?!

    Ok, so I tried to fix markdown2latex. This is what i came up with https://github.com/senft/Scribber/blob/master/mdx_latex.py

    Footnotes dont work by now, but I will try to get everything to work.
