preview-latex in AucTeX works really well I think. It would be nice to use it in org-mode. I'm not a lisp programmer. I would be happy to contribute to org-mode but I need support. Could someone point me in the right direction to start developing such a patch? Or, if someone more skilled than me would like to pick it up and just do it, that would be fine with me! //Johan On Mon, Oct 5, 2009 at 7:57 PM, Carsten Dominik wrote: > > On Oct 5, 2009, at 7:29 PM, Darlan Cavalcante Moreira wrote: > > >> Even graphics made in tikz, that does not use postscript commands, do not >> appear >> in DVI viewers.
