Or > am I missing something? In theory, one should just add a call to `preview-buffer` in the hook to prepare all previews (preferably with some way to silence the preview message). However, the preview seems to fail for some reason. Maybe the `LaTeX-mode-hook` is being called too early? I need to investigate it.

I found preview-auto to be overly complicated and too prone to fail in my tests, so I implemented my own automatic previewing mechanism which turned out to be much simpler. The code above enables this. Best regards, -- Al
