Hi All, After months of work, Karthink and I have prepared a rather large patch-set completely overhauling the LaTeX preview system. I hope to have a patch set shortly, but in the mean time it would be good to get some more people testing this.
To test this feature, please check out the `dev' branch of <https://git.tecosaur.net/tec/org-mode.git> (it’s the default branch). There are also some other changes there currently, but I don’t think anything is broken. You can view the almost-ready path set/diff here: <https://git.tecosaur.net/tec/org-mode/compare/c8401d2f..6d60738>, see the ORG-NEWS and org-manual entries to get a bit more of an idea of what’s changed. The short version is that now: • Previews are generated in bulk, and hundreds of LaTeX fragments can be processed per second. • Images are placed continuously as they are generated. • Preview generation is asynchronous and will not block Emacs. • Inline previews are aligned and scaled to match the font baseline and size. • Previews scale along with text when the text scale is changed. • Previews are coloured to match surrounding text and the active theme. • SVG previews automatically change colors when the active theme changes. • Error encountered when compiling LaTeX fragments can be accessed by mousing over preview images. • Preview overlays can hide and show themselves dynamically based on cursor position. • Org mode can auto-generate LaTeX previews as you type or edit the text of existing ones. • Org mode can keep equation numbering consistent by regenerating previews as needed. If you do come across any issues, please let me know either in a reply here or the org-mode matrix room. If you could also run <https://gist.github.com/karthink/0ac48411a81459c0f3fd7557c4e817db> and share the diagnostic info, that would be quite helpful. Lastly, Karthink has prepared a video giving an overview of the new capabilities, you can give it a watch here: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-AfvuV-bYo> All the best, Timothy -- Timothy (‘tecosaur’/‘TEC’), Org mode contributor.
