Hi Marilyn,

Not sure where Boone is going to stand on this but my understanding is that we do not allow code files to be uploaded on the Commons (such as the cls an sty files that they are asking about). But I could be wrong about these particular files types.

It looks like this person is possibly wanting to use Latex on the Commons? If it turns out they are not allowed to upload these files types there is a plugin on the Commons "WP LaTeX" that facilitates integration of some Latex capabilities.

Hi,

I tried clearing everything, and also tried various browsers on various computers. All popped the same error.

My vote on the second is "yes".

Thank you,
Peter

Peter - Try clearing your cache or using a different browser.

Both - Do you want all three of these:

• *.bib for the bibliography;
• *.cls for class files;
• *.sty for style files.

Hello Commons Team,

Thank you for adding .tex files - we were also wondering if the following might be considered.

Thank you;

Sincerely,

Elvis

From Peter Susanszky (cc:ed):

"LaTeX also uses:

• *.tex for the body;
• *.bib for the bibliography;
• *.cls for class files;
• *.sty for style files.

My OER book does not have a .bib file, but it does come with a .sty file because I had to use a bunch of packages, and I also defined my own commands and environments."

Would it be possible for Elvis to get the user to share the .tex file and all related files needing to be uploaded?

Nevermind, I was able to grab a sample .tex file online. The mime type is actually text/x-tex. However, .tex can also support application/x-tex.

I've added support for .cls, .ltx, .sty and .tex files, as well as .bib, which has the mime type of text/x-bibtex in https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/5e7455754c288b347328ba793a26b62c7e4c1c5d. This is deployed on production as well.

If we want to support the application/x-tex mime type for .tex files as well, we would have to do something like the following: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/323757.

So the user should be good to go with .cls, .ltx, .sty and .tex files?
