<div dir="ltr"><div><div>I need to use scribble to present cgi generated chemical and mathematical equations. I mean, the figures will be generated on demand; they don't exist when I compile the program. According to the principle of least astonishment, I tried something like that:<br>
<br><br>#lang scribble/base<br><br>@title{Equations}<br><br>@image{<a href="http://strues.org/cgi-bin/tex.cgi">http://strues.org/cgi-bin/tex.cgi</a>?\sqrt{2}}<br><br><br></div>When I tried to compile the program, I got an error message:<br>
<br>~/wrk/scb$ scribble simple.scb<br> [Output to simple.html]<br>copy-file: cannot open source file<br> source path: /home/rosa/wrk/scb/http:/<a href="http://strues.org/cgi-bin/tex.cgi">strues.org/cgi-bin/tex.cgi</a>?\sqrt{2}<br>
destination path: /home/rosa/wrk/scb/tex.cgi?\sqrt{2}<br> system error: No such file or directory; errno=2<br><br></div>It seems that Scribble wants a ready made image on the path offered to @image{...}. Is there a way around?<br>
