Problems of preview-latex
preview-latex
is a handy function provided by AUCTeX for directly rendering LaTeX equations and inserted figures in a Emacs buffer under the latex-mode
. lstlistings
is LaTeX package for highlighting source code. According to my experience, when lstlistings
package is used, preview-latex
have the following problems, some of which can be overcome actually.
-
When
\lstlistofalgorithms
appears at the end of a LaTeX document,preview-latex
will get stuck and consume 100% CPU.Solution: remove
sections
from the variablepreview-default-option-list
inpreview-latex
, which will stop processing\lstlistofalgorithms
. - Preview of math symbols in a
lstlistings
algorithm is a mess. - Math symbols in an environment introduced by
ntheorem
, such asTheorem
,Definition
,Remark
, etc., will become bold face in the preview. -
A
\mbox
command appearing in thepostbreak
property oflstlistings
configuration will makepreview-latex
fail.As shown below, the
\mbox
command should be replaced with\hbox
. The difference between\mbox
and\hbox
is here.\makeatletter \@ifclassloaded{beamer}{ \newsavebox\redarrow \sbox\redarrow{\raisebox{0ex}[0ex][0ex]{\ensuremath{\color{red}\hookrightarrow\space}}} \lstset{postbreak=\usebox\redarrow} }{\lstset{postbreak=\mbox{\textcolor{red}{$\hookrightarrow$}\space}}} \makeatother
