#### 12.9.8.1 Working with LaTeX math snippets

LaTeX math snippets (see LaTeX fragments) can be embedded in the ODT document in one of the following ways:

1. MathML

   This option is activated on a per-file basis with

       #+OPTIONS: LaTeX:t

   With this option, LaTeX fragments are first converted into MathML fragments using an external LaTeX-to-MathML converter program. The resulting MathML fragments are then embedded as an OpenDocument Formula in the exported document.

   You can specify the LaTeX-to-MathML converter by customizing the variables `org-latex-to-mathml-convert-command` and `org-latex-to-mathml-jar-file`.

   If you prefer to use `MathToWeb` 155 as your converter, you can configure the above variables as shown below.

       (setq org-latex-to-mathml-convert-command
             "java -jar %j -unicode -force -df %o %I"
             org-latex-to-mathml-jar-file
             "/path/to/mathtoweb.jar")

   You can use the following commands to quickly verify the reliability of the LaTeX-to-MathML converter.

   `M-x org-odt-export-as-odf RET`

     Convert a LaTeX math snippet to an OpenDocument formula (`.odf`) file.

   `M-x org-odt-export-as-odf-and-open RET`

     Convert a LaTeX math snippet to an OpenDocument formula (`.odf`) file and open the formula file with the system-registered application.

2. PNG images

   This option is activated on a per-file basis with

       #+OPTIONS: tex:dvipng

   or:

       #+OPTIONS: tex:imagemagick

   With this option, LaTeX fragments are processed into PNG images and the resulting images are embedded in the exported document. This method requires that the `dvipng` program or `imagemagick` suite be available on your system.
