LaTeX notebook entries
Just a quick note to inform you that the TikZ examples have been relocated to www.texample.net/tikz/examples/
Over the last couple years this site has accumulated a considerable amount of LaTeX-oriented content. The most popular content has without doubt been the TikZ and PGF examples. I have now collected close to hundred examples, most of them contributed by the community. To reflect this I felt the need for giving the examples a home that is not so tightly coupled with my personal web site. The result is TeXample.net.
Currently I have only moved the examples, but I plan to move most of the TeX-oriented content over to TeXample.net soon.

In which I present dot2texi, a LaTeX package that
allows you to include graphs in the DOT graph description language
directly in your LaTeX documents. The dot2tex tool is used to invoke
Graphviz for graph layout, and to transform the output from Graphviz to
LaTeX code. The process is automated if shell escape is enabled

In which I give a brief introduction
to Sketch 3D, a
tool for creating simple 3D scenes for use with (La)TeX. Originally it
generated PSTricks code, but recently support for PGF and TikZ was added!
This allows using pdfTeX directly on the output, and it is possible to
apply simple transparency effects.

PGF
and TikZ is a package for creating high quality illustrations for use
with LaTeX, ConTeX or pure TeX. It is a package that deserves a larger
user base. I've therefore created a
gallery of examples
with code and results. Its purpose is to showcase PGF/TikZ and hopefully
be a useful learning resource.

dot2tex is a tool for
converting graphs generated by Graphviz to formats suitable for use
with LaTeX. Currently dot2tex generates code for PSTricks and PGF/TikZ.
The purpose of dot2tex is to give graphs a more LaTeX look and
feel.

BibConverter is
an online tool I have written for converting citations from IEEEXplore and Engineering Village (EV2) to the BibTeX format. It extracts
data from text copied directly from the web and outputs BibTeX records
that contains much more information than citations exported using the
export functionality provided by these bibliographic services. Try it out
at http://www.bibconverter.net

As a PhD student I need tools for typesetting mathematical equations. However, when writing for the web, I seldom use equations. This is mostly because I don't need them, but also because the lack of support for mathematics in HTML makes it a nuisance.
I'm currently working on a simple CMS for my web site, so why not include a way to easily embed and display mathematical equations in my web pages?
