Re: [O] [PATCH] org-preview-latex-fragment not working with #+latex_header:\input{}
Bastien writes: Setting TEXINPUTS while creating formulas makes sense to me, so I'll be glad to have a patch for this. Actually, setting TEXINPUTS is fraught with peril and just setting it without checking if it already exists is risking to break some setups. If anything there should be a defcustom or better hook function to allow alteration of the environment (ostensibly not just for TEXINPUTS) before org calls external processes.

Hi Benjamin, Benjamin Motz b.m...@uni-muenster.de writes: #+latex_header:\input{commands.tex} is not considered in org-preview-latex-fragment. Reason: the fragment is generated in /tmp from where the file commands.tex can not be found. In my case, commands.tex contains essential latex-code for displaying the latex-fragment, so I consider this to be a bug. Did you try \input{/home/absolute/path/commands.tex} ? I have set the environment variable TEXINPUTS in (org-create-formula-image) to work around this bug (see patch). However, this is the first time that I have written something like a patch and furthermore I'm not at all familiar with lisp-programming. So could you please have a look at my solution and tell me if it's complete crap and how it could be done better?! It complete crap and it could be done better :) If it's no crap, I presume it should be submitted. Setting TEXINPUTS while creating formulas makes sense to me, so I'll be glad to have a patch for this. Some comments: Thank you, Benjamin diff --git a/org.el b/org.el.orig The diff says you are comparing org.el and org.el.orig (the original file). With this method, it's easy to have the comparison done the wrong way. The *really really* simple method is to use git and Emacs =23.4. ~$ git clone git://orgmode.org/org-mode.git Then open the .el file you want to edit. When you're done editing, simply `C-x v ='. It will open a new buffer with the patch. HTH, -- Bastien

Hello, ** Benjamin Motz [2012-04-20 19:28:43 +0200]: Bug: #+latex_header:\input{commands.tex} is not considered in org-preview-latex-fragment. Reason: the fragment is generated in /tmp from where the file commands.tex can not be found. In my case, commands.tex contains essential latex-code for displaying the latex-fragment, so I consider this to be a bug. IMHO, you doing it in wrong way, I presume you are using some Linux: create ~/texmf/tex/latex/ben and put there your `commands.tex', then `\input{commands.tex}' will pick up that file. Of course it is true for LaTeX, if you use plain TeX use `~/texmf/tex/plain/ben' directorythen. I have set the environment variable TEXINPUTS in (org-create-formula-image) to work around this bug (see patch). Don't do it. If it is Ok to use in isolated environment and only once the TEXINPUTS variable it is bad practice. However, this is the first time that I have written something like a patch and furthermore I'm not at all familiar with lisp-programming. So could you please have a look at my solution and tell me if it's complete crap and how it could be done better?! If it's no crap, I presume it should be submitted.
