SlackTeX

Simple PHP Plugin to provide LaTeX Integration in Slack

Setup

  1. Host both index.html and latex.php on a public internet facing webserver. If you're using a free provider, make sure they don't muck about with HTTP Header Responses because that will screw up the JSON.
  2. In your Slack Page, create a "Custom Command". Name it whatever you like, for ease, I suggest "/latex", but it doesn't matter.
  3. Set the type to a "GET Request" as opposed to a POST and put the url of wherever you've stored latex.php as the target.
  4. Fill in the rest of the form with whatever you want, desc. etc...
  5. Save and it should all be working!
