As I understand, "C-c C-x C-v" (org-toggle-inline-images) will only show images inline, not latex fragments (equations). For latex you want "C-c C-x C-v" (org-preview-latex-fragment).
I have a folder with org files as my personal "knowledge archive" and I use both org-toggle-inline-images and org-preview-latex-fragment. Org-mode is indeed very nice for this "conversation with myself" use case. Obviously you still get better (prettier) results if you export the org file, but I rarely need to do that. -- Darlan mank...@gmail.com writes: > Hi Lawrence, > > emacs (in a window, not in the terminal) allows display of images. > C-c C-x C-v will display your LaTeX equations as graphics in the > buffer.
