preview latex fragment from source code buffer

preview latex fragment from source code buffer

[Sebastian Hofer]

I missed the functionality to preview a latex fragment directly from
the latex source buffer. Fortunately this functionality is trivial to
add. I've been using it for a while now and find it very convenient,
so I suggest adding it to org.

#+BEGIN_SRC 
(define-key org-src-mode-map "\C-c\C-x\C-l" 'org-edit-preview-latex-fragment)

(defun org-edit-preview-latex-fragment ()
  "Write latex fragment from source to parent buffer and preview it."
  (interactive)
  (org-src-in-org-buffer (org-preview-latex-fragment)))
#+END_SRC

Best regards
Sebastian

I added an entry in Org hacks:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-hacks.html#sec-1-11-1

I don't think it should be in core, as it is a small conveniency
that can be surprising -- the user could expect the preview to
happen in the src buffer, while it happens in the Org buffer...
also, adding more keybinding like this may raise the issue of
conflicting keybinding with the current src buffer mode.

Thanks for sharing this!
