So what? Most documents will still run through LaTeX nevertheless, and if preview-latex finds that you have configured AUCTeX to run pdflatex, current versions will just run latex for generating the previews, nevertheless. > preview-latex is a great idea.

Angle 1 is that the Emacs part needs to get away with batch operation. If that is accomplished, other converters can be dropped in as well. Angle 2 is that all the important information must be written out into PDF specials, which I have no clue about. An optional angle 3 would involve running GhostScript in damon mode operation like we do it for PostScript: in that case, one would need to know how, for example, GhostView can navigate freely through PDF files. This would probably be the most ambitious part, and it would mostly obliterate the need for angle 1 as well (which we nevertheless want to arrive at). -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
