org-thesis VS xenops

I have used Org mode in tandem with LaTeX for displaying inline statistical equations when taking notes for data science topics and have found it works very well, although I am by no means a LaTeX expert. I have, however, read where Ph.D students have used Org mode to write their theses using LaTeX.

Not barebones, but I would consider looking at scimax, which is an emacs configuration that likely is similar to your work flow. You can also look to PhD theses written in org-mode and shared on github, there are a few with sensible configurations you might want to just copy.

The include has the ability to specify lines. Here is an article I saved that goes into how this could be used for a thesis and reuse parts for journal articles. That sounds similar to your use case. https://github.com/dangom/org-thesis

As a sibling parent mentioned, you can tag an element by inserting it into it's own heading and adding the :ignore: tag.

I feel this functionality is overlooked, and it is in my opinion one of the most powerful features implemented in org, as it allows you to add "meta" groupings to your org document without any effect on the content.

Without the :ignore: tag, there is a strict semantic relation between org-mode document headings, as physically indicated by the * at the beginning of a line, and the corresponding hierarchical level of the heading's content.

With the :ignore: tag, however, you separate content from form. Headings with :ignore: work just as headings for your file.org document: you can search for headings, link to them, add IDs and properties and whatever else you can do with headings. But when you export your document, the heading no longer exists and thus has no impact on the hierarchical level of its content.

Why is this interesting? Well, because if content is separated from form, we can build things where the same content assume multiple forms depending on whatever context we define.

I used this in combination with other org-mode tags, "#+exclude_tags" and "#+include" directives to build my Ph.D. thesis with org mode and have my thesis chapters be exportable both as thesis chapters as well as standalone publications. Shameless plug: https://github.com/dangom/org-thesis

It should be straightforward to extend the idea to presentations and other formats as well.

I wrote my thesis with org mode and wrote about it here: https://write.as/dani/writing-a-phd-thesis-with-org-mode. Repo here: https://github.com/dangom/org-thesis

For some really nice LaTeX previews whilst writing, I would recommend Xenops. It will display pretty much all LaTeX equations, environments, tables, figures etc for your whilst you are writing. I use it all the time and love it.https://github.com/dandavison/xenops

I was studying maths as a hobby and made myself a LaTeX editing environment in Emacs with inline rendering of mathematical content: https://github.com/dandavison/xenops

A handful of other people use it I think but I made it for myself and don't have time to maintain it when I'm not studying maths.

just use https://github.com/dandavison/xenops

Hi, I really like this package for emacs that allows to preview latex and images directly in the document (not in an extra window): https://github.com/dandavison/xenops.

im surprised noone has mentioned https://github.com/dandavison/xenops which does exactly what you're looking for

Mathematical LaTeX editing in Emacs with automatic inline rendering of math, tables, and TiKZ diagrams.

It's hard to imagine this getting popular because (a) it's Emacs, (b) LaTeX is a pain and Overleaf is pretty nice, (c) I think it would require the Auctex team to want to adopt my implementation, and combine their expertise and code to parse LaTeX math delimiters as reliably as auctex does, (d) I only use and develop Xenops when I'm studying maths, which is not at all now I have a real job again. But Xenops is nice to use.

Plug: I recently created a new LaTeX editing environment for Emacs with automatic inline rendering of math, TikZ diagrams, and tables:

https://github.com/dandavison/xenops

It creates plain LaTeX files that can be shared with non-Emacs users, but also works with org-mode. Math preview images are SVG by default and are crisp on high res / retina screens.

Xenops is a nice package for editing LaTeX and it allows integration with computer algebra systems. I looked at the code and it seems to allow me to use wolframscript (which I think is the free version of the wolfram engine) but whenever I try to run the code in the example, it returns the error no org-babel-execute function for mathematica. When I put (requireob-mathematica)` into the init.el, it says there is no such file or directory. How can I integrate this free version of the wolfram engine?

Plug: If you're an Emacs user, I've written an emacs LaTeX editing environment with automatic live rendering of LaTeX math, tables, and TikZ images. The images are rendered asynchronously using emacs-aio.
