    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.

    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.

    https://notabase.io - a note-taking app for networked thinking.

    It supports page stacking, linked references, block references, a graph view, and all that good stuff. Think of it as similar to Roam Research / Obsidian.

    It's also open source so you can self-host it. Here's the code: https://github.com/churichard/notabase

    I'm hoping to add support for shareable links soon. Open to other ideas or feedback!

  • Switching Rich Text Editors, Part 1: Picking Tiptap
    13 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 11 Feb 2022
    When evaluating rich text editors for the note-taking app I started about a year ago (https://notabase.io), I ended up going with Slate because of its flexible schema and customizable plugin architecture.

    I sort of regret that choice now. I ran into a lot of bugs when integrating it which I had to manually work around; issues go months without being addressed; and there still isn't good cross-platform support, especially for Android. With a more active contributor base, Slate could be a fantastic library, but I get the feeling that it's in maintenance mode now, with not many major changes in the past year and a v1.0 still far in the future.

    Tiptap looks like it might be a good choice now, but I find it off-putting that I can't insert links in the demo editor on Tiptap's website (https://tiptap.dev), especially for my use case (a note-taking app whose core concept revolves around links).

    I'm working on an open source note-taking app called Notabase [1]. It's built primarily for my use - I just never liked most existing note-taking apps and wanted to make one that fit the way that I think. I made it open source [2] so other people can build on top of my ideas, and released a hosted version so that other people can use it if they like it. It would be nice if other people found it helpful, but regardless it's something that I intrinsically enjoy working on.

    You can try Notabase https://notabase.io/, which is better for self-hosting.

    if you prefer mdSilo, need to toggle the Offline mode false in code and use the third-part services: vercel and supabase
