This looks great! Bruijn actually has something similar in its standard library [1] but without your `partition`, so it's much less efficient.

Unrelated comment: I love the Tex in your code comments, and I wish that auto-previewing it was a feature of IDEs (especially emacs)

It's not quite a preview, but back in the 90's there was something called sym-lock.el that would render TeX escape sequences as the corresponding symbol. I have no idea if it still works, but Google points me here:

  https://github.com/sid137/emacs/blob/master/sym-lock.el

(I used it with xemacs at the time, because it had more flexible font handling.)

Emacs can do that quite easily[1]. But this code is not merged into the trunk yet, it should be some time this year.

That's exactly what I had in mind, is it just a modified org-latex-preview that works anywhere?

Thanks!

PS: Nice work :-)
