Orgmode + auctex + reftex + preview latex.

Orgmode + auctex + reftex + preview latex.

[Hongyi Zhao]

Orgmode is powerful and great, but if I want to write latex from
within it, I also want to utilize the capabilities supplied by, e.g.,
auctex, reftex, preview latex and so on.

Any hints/notes/comments for the co-operation and combination of these
tools will be highly appreciated.

Hey, as they say, org-mode is for organizing material, not for
producing documents :)

(that's true. they say that)

Not a fan of org-mode ... but TEHO.

If you want to produce a document, IMO the easiest way is to
write in `markdown-mode' and then use pandoc(1) to convert
into whatever format you want.

Unless you want to produce _really_ good-looking documents,
and spend half a lifetime doing it, if so, use
`latex-mode' [1]

For everything else, text is fine.

IMO!

Just a few days ago Gustavo Barros presented a way to have Org work with
RefTeX.  I haven't looked into it in much detail, but make sure to check
out his work:

I am LaTeX user since 2 decades. It is right that starting up may be harder. Once I have got my set of templates and shorts right, then it is easier than anything else and I need no special mode neither Emacs to produce high quality documents.

And I think it is same and even worse with visual weird professor such as LibreOffice. Until the user sets up a template for a letter time will pass.

I have in LaTeX German letter templates, so it is quick and without me thinking of formatting. Additionally serial letters I can write with any programming language as any language may output LaTeX. Adjusting addresses nicely to fit the transparent address window on an envelope is what LaTeX templates help me with. Many things are already there. System is so much more useful than visual time wasting word processing.

For books, articles, letters, business correspondence, LaTeX and similar TeX templates and indispensabile.

Imagine you want to write 30 letters for New Year to various users from various identities like business, private, make a template, populate with database field and write your personal message. One click, write message, and the rest is fine, even printed. Integration like that works with command line processing like Lout, LaTeX, groff, etc.

With visual stuff it is tedious hand work.

You may freely use LaTeX markup within Org mode. Also see various
options org-latex-*

Their question was not whether or not it's possible to use LaTeX within
Org.  But rather about whether or not it's possible to use convenience
tools like AUCTeX and RefTeX that typically work with TeX-based modes
but within org-mode.

To try and answer the original question, not that I know of, but perhaps
tools like org-ref might address a subset of those use-cases.

Alternatively, you may be able to use those TeX-specific tools for TeX
blocks you embed within #+begin_src latex and #+end_src, if you edit
them via C-c '.

Thanks for your notes. I've filed an issue to the author of mmm-mode:

mmm-mode is also in GNU ELPA, so it's available right away to anyone

Re: Orgmode + auctex + reftex + preview latex.

[Partha Pratim Ghosh]

Dear All & Hongyi,

I use AucTeX for my major LaTeX projects and Org mode for smaller ones
as well as compiling reading notes et al. For such short and brief ones
I find the Org mode LaTeX export to be very handy. I can share my
configuration separately, if you are interested, and did not do so here
fearing the mail/reply becoming too long and boring.

I have a few problems though:

1. The same notes, if I want to export to html does not do so
effectively, since I use my personal .sty file, which is incorporated
for LaTeX export but does not suit for the hrml export. So, a macro from
my .sty file just gets typed as is in the html file. Also, Xypic codes
get transferred to actual images in LaTeX export, but in the html export
gets treated as a piece of code.

2. I have also problems with file links in the Org mode and it is not
recognised. However, hyperref recognises the http links or doi links.

I would be thankful if I could find some help here in solving the two
problems above.


With my regards and all the very best wishes,

partha

Do you think Emacs + AucTeX is the most powerful LaTeX IDE on the world?

Re: Orgmode + auctex + reftex + preview latex.

[Partha Pratim Ghosh]

Dear Hongyi,

I have worked with Emacs since 1996 and have used TexLive along with
AucTeX since then. I have found this combination very useful and
helpful. I have started the using the org mode much later
though. However, I cannot compare, since I have not used any other IDE
for Emacs. In fact, Emacs has been my only IDE for many other languages,
and today primarily for LaTeX and python.


With my regards and all the very best wishes,

Could you please share your configuration on github, so that people
here can try/discuss it more conveniently If they want to?

Since I have now displayes the emcas init file, please allow me to
re-iterate the problems that I face:

1. The same notes, if I want to export to html does not do so
   effectively, since I use my personal .sty file, which is incorporated
   for LaTeX export but does not suit for the hrml export. So, a macro from
   my .sty file just gets typed as is in the html file. Also, Xypic codes
   get transferred to actual images in LaTeX export, but in the html export
   gets treated as a piece of code.

2. I have also problems with file links in the Org mode and it is not
   recognised. However, hyperref recognises the http links or doi links.


With my regards and all the very best wishes,

Re: Orgmode + auctex + reftex + preview latex.

[Alan Davis]

I use Org-mode to convert (ie., export) org stuff into a LaTeX file,  Then
I edit that file using Emacs/AUCTeX.   The problem comes in when I have to
make edits, which for a larger text can be problematical.

I do include LaTeX bits in the org file, so some of the heavy lifting is
done by Org.   It's not as friendly as it could be for returning to the
editing part.   Still, once the file is in a LaTeX mode, I usually just
edit in Emacs/AUCTeX for the duration.

I would welcome any configuration that would make the back-and-forth
easier; however, it works great for me, at this point.   AUCTeX (or just
editing the *.tex file) works better for some cleanup, like placement of
images, or final table edits.

Good luck.

Alan Davis
