Are you referring to a specific extension that you are using, Or are you asking in general?
- Describe a little more your situation. What OS are you using? Which version of Inkscape? Do you have a sample of the kind of drawing or diagram you want to render?

- Inkscape have some support for LaTeX equations, but I don't know howe extended it is

- You can export your diagrams to PDF, and then import in a LaTeX document

-With a little help of friendly programers ?? :) :?:
If you have problems:
1.- Post a sample (or samples) of your file please.
2.- Please check here:

3.- If you manage to solve your problem, please post here your solution.

Brynn has just mentioned this extension in another discussion: https://github.com/halamalala/inkscape2tikz

Unfortunately, it's no longer maintained, and will not work with Inkscape 0.91 (but might with 0.48.5)

Here is the link to the repository which is still actively maintained by the original author (AFAICT this one does support 0.48 as well as 0.91):

Oh awesome! I had come across that one in my search, Moini. But because the extension files are buried in a 2nd level down sub directory, I never saw them. So I won't delete that wiki Repository item, and instead, I'll edit with a this link.
