Hello,

I would like to ask if it is possible to preview latex blocks. Something 
like this (replace EXPORT with SRC, if you wish):

         #+BEGIN_EXPORT latex
         \begin{align}
           I_{0}
           & > \max{(\lambda_{f}^{2})}
           \\
           & > 2^{2}
           \\
           I_{0} & > 4
         \end{align}
         #+END_EXPORT

to be previewed in the same way as

         \begin{align}
           I_{0}
           & > \max{(\lambda_{f}^{2})}
           \\
           & > 2^{2}
           \\
           I_{0} & > 4
         \end{align}

- Rationale :: the LaTeX blocks have improved highlighting and editing 
commands than pure Org-mode, they can be folded (hidden?) in Org-mode 
and some extra options can be activated when exporting. Many times, it 
is needed to preview the equations before actually exporting.

- Related ::
   - org-edit-latex-mode
     There is org-edit-latex-mode, but it requires  some extra work:
     1. org-edit-special (C-')
     2. org-edit-latex-preview-at-point (C-c C-p C-p)
     3. org-edit-src-exit (C-')

     Besides, the preview does not stay in the original Org-mode buffer, 
but it's lost with step 3.

Please? Thank you!
