InDesign script to resize images in XML

If these images are larger than the page width, the image is not visible and the text that comes after it falls away. The script resolves this issue.

LaTex and mPDF

If you want to display formulas in print, you can install TeX live on your VPS server. You can then create formulas with the LaTeX language and generate images from that encoding in png or svg format. You can then use these images in your document. On your website you can display the formulas using MathJax. MathJax is open-source JavaScript for displaying LaTeX, MathML, and AsciiMath notations in all modern browsers.
