Hi, I am forwarding a question from stackexchange [1] here, as I am interested in this myself and I think this a bug.
I just add that the behaviour is not as expected also when the prefixed command (C-u C-c C-x C-l) is used. begin_quote In the following Orgmode file, I can't figure a way to preview only the latex fragments of section 1.1 (= those contained in sections 1.1.1 and 1.1.2, not those of section 1.2 nor section 2) #+begin_org * section 1 ** section 1.1 *** section 1.1.1 $\alpha=1$ *** section 1.1.2 $\alpha=2$ ** section 1.2 $\alpha=3$ * section 2 ** section 2.1 $\alpha=4$ ** section 2.2 $\alpha=5$ #+end_org unfortunately when my maker is at point ** section 1.1 the command org-preview-latex-fragment (C-c C-x C-l) has no effect. Same question to preview only the latex fragments of (the whole) section 1, it seems that at point * section 1 the command C-c C-x C-l processes ALL latex fragments (section 1 and section 2) of the tree. end_quote Regards, Andreas [1] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28807852/dealing-with-org-latex-preview-within-trees
