Re: [O] Fwd: Is `org-preview-latex-fragment` sensitive to alignment specified by document class options?
Hi Nick,
Thanks for guiding me to a solution, which was to write write my own
defcustom `my-org-format-latex-header`, changing the first line from
the definition in org.el to \\documentclass[fleqn]{article}. This
definition I call `my-org-format-latex-header`. I then redefine
`org-create-formula--latex-header` to use
`my-org-format-latex-header`, as so:
--8---cut here---start-8---
(defcustom my-org-format-latex-header \\documentclass[fleqn]{article}
\\usepackage[usenames]{color}
\[PACKAGES]
\[DEFAULT-PACKAGES]
\\pagestyle{empty} % do not remove
% The settings below are copied from fullpage.sty
\\setlength{\\textwidth}{\\paperwidth}
\\addtolength{\\textwidth}{-3cm}
\\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{1.5cm}
\\addtolength{\\oddsidemargin}{-2.54cm}
\\setlength{\\evensidemargin}{\\oddsidemargin}
\\setlength{\\textheight}{\\paperheight}
\\addtolength{\\textheight}{-\\headheight}
\\addtolength{\\textheight}{-\\headsep}
\\addtolength{\\textheight}{-\\footskip}
\\addtolength{\\textheight}{-3cm}
\\setlength{\\topmargin}{1.5cm}
\\addtolength{\\topmargin}{-2.54cm}
The document header used for processing LaTeX fragments.
It is imperative that this header make sure that no page number
appears on the page. The package defined in the variables
`org-latex-default-packages-alist' and `org-latex-packages-alist'
will either replace the placeholder \[PACKAGES]\ in this
header, or they will be appended.
:group 'org-latex
:type 'string)
(defun org-create-formula--latex-header ()
Return LaTeX header appropriate for previewing a LaTeX snippet.
(let ((info (org-combine-plists (org-export--get-global-options
(org-export-get-backend 'latex))
(org-export--get-inbuffer-options
(org-export-get-backend 'latex)
(org-latex-guess-babel-language
(org-latex-guess-inputenc
(org-splice-latex-header
my-org-format-latex-header
org-latex-default-packages-alist
org-latex-packages-alist t
(plist-get info :latex-header)))
info)))
--8---cut here---end---8---
Now when I call `org-preview-latex-fragment`, the math is correctly
rendered in emacs:

My only question is: rather than using `defcustom` to define
`my-org-format-latex-header` (hence needing to redefine
`org-create-formula--latex-header`, how do I simply override the
existing definition for `org-format-latex-header`? A hasty attempt to
use setq threw the following backtrace:
--8---cut here---start-8---
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument symbolp The

Thanks Nick!

Is there a way to make `org-preview-latex-fragment` sensitive to LaTeX

If LaTeX is generated for this document with
`org-latex-export-to-latex`, which is compiled to a PDF with pdflatex,
the b := and the e := are left aligned i.e. the b and e are
vertically aligned.
However, if `org-preview-latex-fragment` is called within emacs, the
left alignment specified with the `[fleqn]` class option is not
honoured. Thus, the two lines in the `gather` block are centrally
aligned, which is the default case for `gather` blocks.
org-preview-latex-image is its own self-contained universe and has very
little in common with latex exporting. In particular, the preview
preamble is generated by calling org-create-formula--latex-header. Try
evaluating a call to the function in your *scratch* buffer and see what
it gives you - I get:

Hi, I am not sure if this is related but if you look at the description of org-latex-packages-alist below, you'll see a comment about the third argument, SNIPPET-FLAG.

[O] Fwd: Is `org-preview-latex-fragment` sensitive to alignment specified by document class options?
Hi,
I asked the question below a few days ago, about whether
`org-preview-latex-fragment` is sensitive document class options that
might affect alignment. I've so far not received feedback, and
wondered whether there is more information that I could provide, or if
my question is not interesting to other people :-)
Git blame tells me that the last commit relating to the definition of
`org-preview-latex-fragment` in lisp/org.el is fe939ec by Carsten on
22-03-2008. Who might I be able to poke directly with my question
below.
Thanks,

Hi,
Is there a way to make `org-preview-latex-fragment` sensitive to LaTeX
class options? I have a simple example to demonstrate where it does
not:
%%%
#+LaTeX_CLASS: article
#+LaTeX_CLASS_OPTIONS: [fleqn]
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{gather}
b := (a \oplus s_1) \oplus s_2 \\
e := 0 \\
\end{gather}
%%%
If LaTeX is generated for this document with
`org-latex-export-to-latex`, which is compiled to a PDF with pdflatex,
the b := and the e := are left aligned i.e. the b and e are
vertically aligned.
However, if `org-preview-latex-fragment` is called within emacs, the
left alignment specified with the `[fleqn]` class option is not
honoured. Thus, the two lines in the `gather` block are centrally
aligned, which is the default case for `gather` blocks.
This is a screenshot of the PDF: http://imgur.com/YVRAlYP
This is a screenshot of the preview within emacs: http://imgur.com/S6BNm0K
So, is there a way to make `org-preview-latex-fragment` sensitive to
LaTeX class options?
Thanks,

`
As you can see both the document class and the class options (none)
are hardwired.
The function looks like this
,
| (defun org-create-formula--latex-header ()
| Return LaTeX header appropriate for previewing a LaTeX snippet.
| (let ((info (org-combine-plists (org-export--get-global-options
| (org-export-get-backend 'latex))
| (org-export--get-inbuffer-options
| (org-export-get-backend 'latex)
| (org-latex-guess-babel-language
| (org-latex-guess-inputenc
| (org-splice-latex-header
|org-format-latex-header org-latex-default-packages-alist
|org-latex-packages-alist t (plist-get info :latex-header)))
| info)))
`
so in order to add class options you have to redefine the variable
org-format-latex-header. But whatever you set them to, they will be
hardwired: there is no way to propagate a setting from the org
file.
