--- Comment #1 from Andreas Nicolai <Andreas Nicolai gmx net>  2009-05-31 13:14:28 ---
Particularly useful would be the rendering of math equations while typing.
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.
