Hello,
I was a little bit surprised that previewing latex fragments doesn't use
the same class as latex export. That's contrary to my expectation but I
don't know how to fix it. The reason I expected that is : I set a
default (personnal) latex class which defines many commands that I use
everyday when writing latex, and thus also when writing latex in org
documents.
Also, it took me a lot of time to find out that org-format-latex-header
was used for previewing latex fragments. I suggest that we mention it in
the manual in (info "(org) Previewing LaTeX fragments"). It's already
mentionned in (info "(org) LaTeX fragments") in a footnote, but I think
the variable must be found in the "Previewing" section too.
Here's a patch to do it, but maybe the whole footnote should be moved to
the "Previewing" section instead ?
