This is all a secret plot from envious Emacs users that want LyX development to stall by incurring a lethal eye candy dependency on core developers. > The InsetInclude::PreviewImpl and InsetFormula::PreviewImpl are very > similar so I'll try and factor the common code into a base class. > > Questions: > 1. Does it make sense to preview anything other than Input? Uh, yes. But this very much depends on the document in question. See a few examples on the <http://preview-latex.sourceforge.net> homepage. Other obvious candidates are figures, tables, includegraphics (you'll tell me that LyX already previews them in its own way, but does that include psfrag replacements?), picture environments, pspicture, psmatrix and so on. Of course, with nested such things, just take the outer one. Since this is actually a Pandora's box, preview.sty offers a few default settings for extractions, and an elaborate LaTeX-based scheme that lets the user specify the components to be extracted to LaTeX either in the document preamble or in separate configuration files. Emacs itself has no clue about what previews the LaTeX run might turn up and where, but with the "auctex" option set, each of the preview snippets causes an error message to be generated at the start and end of it, and those error messages provide the needed correlation between exact buffer positions of the snippet and the produced image files. > 2. clearly not everything can or should be previewed, so I'll add a > bool preview; > parameter to InsetInclude::Params that defaults to false.

Probably nothing different from what the normal processing of \input would be getting? -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
