Is there a latex previewer for org mode?

In actual use, the Org-mode LaTeX previewer will call dvipng with appropriate arguments for its nefarious purposes. There is one variable in org that needs to be set up: In addition, you might want to customize the set of latex packages that will be needed in order to produce the preview. Most of these are probably already included.

How does Org-preview-latex-fragment-bound to C-C?

One writes LaTeX code and invokes the command org-preview-latex-fragment (bound to C-c C-x C-l). The command processes the latex code and produces a PNG image that is overlaid on the LaTeX code that was used to produce the image, thereby providing the required preview. Pressing C-c C-c gets rid of the overlay.

With the exception of the setting for org-latex-create-formula-image-program, everything else applies to the imagemagick case as well. In fact, it applies not only to latex preview but to latex export in general. Because of this generality, you might find yourself adding packages for latex export that lead to trouble with latex preview.

How does Org-preview-latex-fragment produce a PNG image?

One writes LaTeX code and invokes the command org-preview-latex-fragment (bound to C-c C-x C-l). The command processes the latex code and produces a PNG image that is overlaid on the LaTeX code that was used to produce the image, thereby providing the required preview.

Where does the preview mechanism look for latex environments?
