Suggested algorithm (if someone give's me some hands on help to get started, I could code it myself): - in the editor mode, while typing, test if user is inside a math environment, for starters only the default environments $ $, $$ $$, \begin{equation} \end{equation}, ... etc. need to be supported, if user has custom environments, maybe those could be configured somewhere - extract all text inside the environment into separate string buffer - in scheduled intervals (suggest 2 sec. intervals) write temporary file with mini-latex-header - run latex and create dvi/pdf etc. - if successful, load dvi/pdf into math preview window, otherwise display some error message in window Later, some sanity checking could be done while typing, to allow easier checking of faulty equations. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
