  • Preview LaTeX equations on *.tex files
    4 projects | /r/emacs | 1 May 2022
    If you do not necessarily want overlays: You may want to check out my package magic-logic-buffer which makes LaTeX math commands look and behave like the characters they would print. It also allows conversion from LaTeX to unicode and the other way around.
  • org-mode for academic writing (vs. RMarkdown, etc.)
    2 projects | /r/orgmode | 27 Feb 2022
    I do not know enough about emacs to do all this on my own. Therefore, I have been working with a programmer who helped me out. I told him exactly what I needed, he sent code, I tested, he revised - until everything worked as intended. It takes much time, but the results are great. This way, we also published two packages: org-ref-prettify, which shows org-ref syntax as APA citations (available on MELPA) and magic-logic-buffer, which overlays logic formulas and color commands in LaTeX and does Unicode to LaTeX conversion and vice versa (not on MELPA since based on another package). This is what my next post will be about.

  • Is emacs the answer?
    2 projects | /r/emacs | 6 May 2023
    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
  • Ask HN: Most interesting tech you built for just yourself?
    149 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 27 Apr 2023
    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.

  • Looking for a neovim GUI with image previews
    5 projects | /r/neovim | 9 Aug 2022
    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.

  • I'm able to take notes in mathematics lectures using LaTeX and Vim
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 7 Nov 2021
    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.

  • How do I integrate wolframscript?
    1 project | /r/emacs | 4 Oct 2021
    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?
  • JupyterLab LaTeX – live-editing of LaTeX documents in JupyterLab
    4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 17 May 2021
    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.
