I have interest in working on this issue, but I it may take some time due to other \
pending tasks. Feel free to work on this issue if you want / can!

I think that the latex export feature can be improved, and this requires some \
decisions to be made. For example, it currently bundles all the images on the \
worksheet to an archive file, but there is no distinction between plots / included \
figures and rendered latex expressions (from math mode); should it omit the rendered \
latex expressions?</pre>  </blockquote>

that it generates all the files you need to actually run latex on it and render the \
