<h1>10 Troubleshooting the LaTeX-conversion</h1>
<p>Ipe converts text objects from their Latex source representation to a
representation that can be rendered and included in Postscript and PDF
by creating a Latex source file and running Pdflatex. This happens in
a dedicated directory, which Ipe creates the first time it is used.
The Latex source and output files are left in that directory and not
deleted even when you close Ipe, to make it easy to solve problems
with the Latex conversion process.
<p>You can determine the directory used by Ipe by pressing the
<em>Search paths</em> button in the <em>Preferences dialog</em> (from the
<em>Help</em> menu). If you'd prefer to use a different directory, set
the environment variable <tt>IPELATEXDIR</tt> before starting Ipe.
<p>If Ipe fails to translate your text objects, and you cannot find the
problem by looking at the log file displayed by Ipe (or Ipe doesn't
even display the log file), you can terminate Ipe, go to the
conversion directory, and run Pdflatex manually:
<pre>
pdflatex text.tex
</pre>
