org-auctex: Async LaTeX preview support for Org-mode using AucTeX. Mostly deprecated since Org is getting a new async LaTeX preview system.

xenops looks quite interesting, I hadn't seen it before. I do also render my LaTeX maths in org, though with org-auctex instead of the default org-latex-preview (much faster!). The workflow is mostly that I write some maths inline to org, not inside of any source block—much less noise. When I'm done with a particular piece of code, I simply rerender the whole buffer; org-auctex is fast enough so that this doesn't take very long, even in dense org documents. The SVGs are automatically unprettified whenever you are inside them, so editing is seamless.

You can use most of the functionality of that blog post inside of Org. Things like cdlatex even have a special org-cdlatex-mode in order to be as unintrusive as possible, and for fast previews there is org-auctex (from the same author as the above post). Certainly things like autoexpanding snippets and other goodies work without a problem in Org.

Just a note that latex preview support for non-file-associated buffers (including elfeed/shr buffers) is still planned for org-auctex. (Time for Emacs has been really scant this year!)

For smoother latex previews in org you can try org-auctex. It's not done yet but I find it to be a big improvement.

Sure, the whole config is available here. The topic stuff specifically is thereabouts, with some things like the topic keys coming a bit later.

Sure, it's available here. I did go to some lengths in terms of documentation, but it might still not be the easiest configuration to understand (it's also using features that are only available in HEAD so far)
