Here is a screenshot of xemacs running preview-latex: \
http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/img/preview-screenshot.png

This is how it works: a script scans the current document for begin/end tags for \
formulas for example, than runs latex on those and produces png images which then are \
inserted into the document, replacing their code representation.  This works like a \
kind of code folding, you just click in the image and you're back to the code.

I think it would be great for kate to be able to fold code into images and back. It \
makes working with long latex documents a lot easier, you quickly know where you are \
and what your formula will look like.

I also read about John Tapsell's summer of code project:
http://developer.kde.org/summerofcode/varanalysis.html
He writes: "This could work with code folding so that the actual code could be folded \
leaving only the math equation." [He wants to analyze what a function does and then \
display it as a mathml formula] You see, folding code to make way for other kinds of \
presentation could be used in other situations as well, not just LaTeX \
