    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.

    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.

    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

    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?

    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.

    Lots of things. But one I am coming back to is called Malten (https://malten.com). It was essentially a place for me to blackhole my thoughts anonymously rather than putting them on twitter. Recently as I've seen ChatGPT take off it's made me revisit the project and create an integration for it (not yet publicly hosted). Ideally I'd just be able to voice my thoughts to an AI now in a private manner. Let's see.

  • Cryptboard.io – Anonymous encrypted web clipboard and chat
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 25 Nov 2022
    I built something similar but it wasn't intended as a clipboard. Mostly for anonymous chat but I personally ended up using it as a clip board. The difference. We don't persist anything on the server side, it's totally in memory and you can create new streams that have shorter ttls.
