* Inline LaTeX fragments in emacs buffer

Is there any way of getting org-mode to display inline LaTeX fragments in
the emacs buffer? E.g. I would like to be able to type:

The size of the hypotenuse is $\sqrt{a^2+b^2}$

and then the buffer immediately shows:

The size of the hypotenuse is √a²+b²

where √a²+b² is a png image rendered via dvipng.

I assume a toggle would switch between either seeing the formula or seeing
the source of the formula, just like for the display of inline images.
Also, pressing a backspace when the cursor is at the end of the formula
should erase the trailing $ sign, and turn off image display of the
formula, just like for [[links][name]].

Has anything like this been implemented?

Thanks!
Dov

Yes, you can produce a preview image with C-c C-x C-l.

See

and

org-preview-latex-fragment is really great but what is even better is that
it also works outside org-mode! This makes my life a lot easier.

I set "C-c P" as a global key-binding for org-preview-latex-fragment and
"C-c p" to org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c. Then I can preview equations all equations in
ANY buffer with "C-u C-u C-c P". It's great to write equations in comments
of some programming buffer (no matter which programming language) and being
able to render the equations right there.

Thanks for the help. It makes my coursera ml-class notes easier to read.

One issue I had when I tried exporting to HTML with the dvnpng option the
following equation:

\[
J(\theta) = - \frac{1}{m} \left[\sum_{i=1} ^m y^{(i)} \log
h_\theta(x^{(i)})+(1-y^{(i)})\log(1-h_\theta(x^{(i)}))\right]
          + \frac{\lambda}{2m}\sum_{j=1} ^n \theta_j ^2
\]

in the png output I got the following trailing text:ORG-LIST-END-MARKER .
Is this a known bug?

Regards,
Dov

I got it. Org-mode erroneously interpreted the + sign on the second row as
a list token. Rearranging the latex text so that it does not start with -
or + is a workaround.

I don't think breaking the equation into multiple lines is supported by
org. It may work but it is not guaranteed. I write the whole equation as a
single line and I don't have any problems, besides the equation being
harder to read and modify later.

Ps: I have the same use case scenario: writing notes with equations when I
watch the classes of the coursera courses. I also write the relevant
equation in a comment in the MATLAB/Octave when implementing the
programming exercises.

Actually, it's not erroneous. Plain lists in Org mode have precedence
over paragraphs. It may be surprising sometimes but it would be the same
if you had:

\[
some equation
* This would be an headline
some other equation
\]
