# Neomutt
|
||||
|
||||
## Markdown to HTML rendering
|
||||
To write more normie-friendly emails, non-plain-text emails are probably better.
|
||||
For this, a conversion from Markdown to HTML with Mathjax support seems best.
|
||||
It supports all the bells and whistles of markdown (images, links, code, italics, bold) as well as mathemtical formulas in LaTex notation using Mathjax.
|
||||
|
||||
### Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
The conversion is done via pandoc using templates.
|
||||
Ensure `pandoc` is installed. (`which pandoc || sudo pacman -S pandoc`)
|
||||
|
||||
Add to your muttrc (either in `~/.mutt/muttrc` or `~/.config/mutt/muttrc`. From now on assuming `~/.config/mutt` as config folder)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
macro compose m \
|
||||
"<enter-command>set pipe_decode<enter>\
|
||||
<pipe-message>pandoc -f gfm -t plain -o /tmp/msg.txt<enter>\
|
||||
<pipe-message>pandoc -s --self-contained -o /tmp/msg.html --resource-path ~/.config/mutt/templates/ --template email<enter>\
|
||||
<enter-command>unset pipe_decode<enter>\
|
||||
<attach-file>/tmp/msg.txt<enter>\
|
||||
<attach-file>/tmp/msg.html<enter>\
|
||||
<tag-entry><previous-entry><tag-entry><group-alternatives>" \
|
||||
"Convert markdown to HTML5 and plaintext alternative content types"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Create a folder called `templates`: `mkdir -p ~/.config/mutt/templates`
|
||||
and create a file called `email.html` in this folder with the following content:
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<!DOCTYPE html>
|
||||
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="$lang$" xml:lang="$lang$"$if(dir)$ dir="$dir$"$endif$>
|
||||
<head>
|
||||
<meta charset="utf-8" />

||||

||||
<script src="https://polyfill.io/v3/polyfill.min.js?features=es6"></script>
|
||||
<script type="text/javascript" id="MathJax-script" async

||||

|
||||

||||

||||

||||

|
||||

|
||||

||||

||||

||||

||||

||||

|
||||
$header-includes$

||||

|
||||

|
||||
$for(include-after)$
|
||||
$include-after$
|
||||
$endfor$
|
||||
</body>
|
||||
</html>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Usage
|
||||
|
||||
To use this, write your email as usual and afterwards, press `m` on the created file in neomutt.
|
||||
This will generate a combined file for plaintext fallback in case of unsupported HTML rendering.
|
||||
|
||||
For now, also delete the still present plaintext file with `D`.
|
||||
Your email should now be ready to be sent.
|
||||
|
||||
For writing formulas, just use latex syntax in the normal `$` delimiters.
|
||||
Be careful on inline formulas, here a whitespace between the leading `$` and the formula breaks the rendering!
|
||||
|
||||
## File Size
|
||||
|
||||
Since Mathjax is creating a binary for the rendering of the math syntax which is embedded in the html, the file sizes are usually around 1 MB.
|
||||
This is not necessary when no LaTeX syntax is used.
|
||||
Create a second macro for which you use a different template, that excludes the mathjax script.
|
||||
This way you can create smaller emails with pure markdown syntax and when necessary can send mathematical formulas, resulting in larger mails.
|
||||
|
||||
For this add the following to the muttrc:
|
||||
```
|
||||
macro compose l \
|
||||
"<enter-command>set pipe_decode<enter>\
|
||||
<pipe-message>pandoc -f gfm -t plain -o /tmp/msg.txt<enter>\
|
||||
<pipe-message>pandoc -s --self-contained -o /tmp/msg.html --resource-path ~/.config/mutt/templates/ --template email_pure<enter>\
|
||||
<enter-command>unset pipe_decode<enter>\
|
||||
<attach-file>/tmp/msg.txt<enter>\
|
||||
<attach-file>/tmp/msg.html<enter>\
|
||||
<tag-entry><previous-entry><tag-entry><group-alternatives>" \
|
||||
"Convert markdown to HTML5 and plaintext alternative content types"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Further create a new file called `email_pure.html` in `mutt/templates` with the following content:
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<!DOCTYPE html>
|
||||
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="$lang$" xml:lang="$lang$"$if(dir)$ dir="$dir$"$endif$>
