> Karthik, what do you think?org-latex-preview only previews Org elements of type `latex-fragment' or `latex-environment'. Export blocks are not elements of this type, so they are skipped. This is consistent with the current behavior of org-latex-preview. >> I use these blocks to take advantage of syntax highlighting For syntax highlighting in LaTeX environments you can use (setq org-highlight-latex-and-related '(native)) >> (and it is quicker to write than not including the export block >> around the latex). I don't understand how this can be faster if it involves typing more text. Could you explain? Karthik
