Feedback – LaTeX and "pre" tags

Hi,

Thought I would give you some feedback that may (or may not) be useful!

Your importer did a better job than the regular “Blogger Importer” in that it brought over images more successfully, and pages, and got the tags right!

Where I had difficulty (and I suspect this may be a small user case):

A lot of my Blogger posts used LaTeX in the following format: <div lang=”latex” style=”text-align: center;”> … </div>. Where “…” is a LaTeX expression. All of these would need to be converted to [latex] ... [/latex] or $latex … $ together with some interpretation of the additional formatting (in-line, compact, etc.) In addition, many of the “/” symbols have disappeared from the LaTeX expressions too, so they would all have to be carefully vetted by me!

I also give code snippets in my posts using R Syntax highlighter, accessed via a “pre” tag: <pre class=”brush: r; first-line: 2; highlight: [2]; class-name: ‘codeBox’; title: ‘title to display’;”> … What I found is that in some cases, where the code snippet was short, a mangled version of it came across. For long snippets, the entire remainder of the post after the first line or two of the code snippet was gone!

Unfortunately for me, there are hundreds of LaTeX expressions and tens of code snippets, so I am trying to figure an alternative solution.

I hope this info is of some help to you. Let me know if you would like more details (my original blogger blog is here: Beyond The Blue Event Horizon).
