I assume this is a general example of a situation where you have to run LaTeX multiple times, and not something applicable to Org's LaTeX previews. > I personally encountered it when using the tikzmark library from > the tikzpicture package to draw annotations on a table (LaTeX > needed to be run once to typeset the table & only then did it > "know" where the arrows needed to be drawn). Was this for in-buffer previews or a LaTeX source block? Could you provide the LaTeX source for a minimal example? I'd like to try it with the new preview system. Karthik
