Hello again,
thanks for the snippet, but unfortunately it doesn't work :-(
Now it doesn't stop with error, it happens nothing.
here is my config.
Variable:
org-preview-latex-default-process is a variable defined in ‘org.el’.
Its value is ‘luasvg’
Original value was ‘dvipng’
Variable:
org-preview-latex-process-alist
Value:
((luasvg :programs
("lualatex" "dvisvgm")
:description "dvi > svg" :message "you need to install lualatex and dvisvgm." :use-xcolor t :image-input-type "dvi" :image-output-type "svg" :image-size-adjust
(1.7 . 1.5)
:latex-compiler
("lualatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-format dvi -output-directory %o %f")
:image-converter
("dvisvgm %f -n -b min -c %S -o %O"))
(dvipng :programs
("latex" "dvipng")
:description "dvi > png" :message "you need to install the programs: latex and dvipng." :image-input-type "dvi" :image-output-type "png" :image-size-adjust
(1.0 . 1.0)
:latex-compiler
("latex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f")
:image-converter
("dvipng -D %D -T tight -o %O %f"))
(dvisvgm :programs

:description "dvi > svg" :message "you need to install the programs: latex and dvisvgm." :image-input-type "dvi" :image-output-type "svg" :image-size-adjust
(1.7 . 1.5)
:latex-compiler
("latex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f")
:image-converter
("dvisvgm %f -n -b min -c %S -o %O"))
(imagemagick :programs
("latex" "convert")
:description "pdf > png" :message "you need to install the programs: latex and imagemagick." :image-input-type "pdf" :image-output-type "png" :image-size-adjust
(1.0 . 1.0)
:latex-compiler
("pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f")
:image-converter
("convert -density %D -trim -antialias %f -quality 100
%O")))
here is the testfile:
\begin{displaymath}
\sqrt{a^2-b^2}=c
\end{displaymath}
\begin{equation} % arbitrary environments,
x=\sqrt{b} % even tables, figures
\end{equation} % etc
If $a^2=b$ and \( b=2 \), then the solution must be
either $$ a=+\sqrt{2} $$ or \[ a=-\sqrt{2} \].
I use your luasvg snippet.
Do i have to do anything else?
Any command afterwards?
Hope someone could help :-)
Regards
Poul
