Hi guys,
I just wanted to try out the latex snippet preview. There is a problem
with that since I have in my org-document the following preamble:
#+LATEX_HEADER: \input{../vlstyle}
which refers to a .tex-file relative to the location of my document. The
file contains some definitions for math. symbols I need in many
documents, so I extracted them into an external file.
Since the preview-snippets are compiled in /tmp/ Latex cannot find the
vlstyle.tex and the compilation fails.
Is there another way to get previews except specifying an absolute path
to the vlstyle.tex? Maybe sth. with org-babel? But it shouldn't be too
long since I would have to add that to every new document I write.
Regards, Max

One solution would be to put you math definitions into a .sty file instead
of a .tex file so that you can use \usepackage{vlstyle} instead of \input.
If you put (or symlink) the file in your local texmf path it should work.
I do this for my math shortcuts and it works fine with org-mode. To make
it into a .sty file you just have to put \ProvidesPackage{vlstyle} on the
first line of the file, import any dependencies, e.g. amsmath, with a
\RequirePackage declaration and end the file with \endinput. If it is just a
bunch of \newcommand, \renewcommand, \def and \DeclareMathOperator
declarations then there shouldn't be any problem.
