CTAN Update: preview
Date: January 15, 2007 10:10:43 AM CET
On Sat, 13 Jan 2007, Ralf Angeli submitted an update of the
preview
package.
Here are the release notes:
>
> The main purpose of the preview package is the extraction of selected
> elements from a LaTeX source, like formulas or images, into separate
> pages of a DVI file. This works with DVI files postprocessed by
> either Dvips and Ghostscript or dvipng, but it also works when you are
> using PDFTeX for generating PDF files.
>
> Current uses of the package include the preview-latex package for
> WYSIWYG functionality in the AUCTeX editing environment, generation of
> previews in LyX, as part of the operation of the ps4pdf package, the
> tbook XML system and some other tools.
>
> The preview package is being developed along and distributed with
> preview-latex. With the integration of preview-latex into AUCTeX as
> of version 11.81, the preview package became part of AUCTeX as well.
> It can therefore be obtained as part of AUCTeX distribution files
> available at <URL:ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/auctex/>. CTAN provides
> the standalone preview package at <CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/preview>.
> For more information about the preview package please refer to the
> home page of AUCTeX at <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/>.
>
> Version 11.84 of the preview package is mainly a bug fix release.
> Noteworthy changes include a fix for XymTeX catcodes and the addition
> of chapter headings to the list of constructs previewable out of the
> box.

preview – Extract bits of a LaTeX source for output
The package is a free-standing part of the preview-latex bundle. The package provides the support preview-latex needs, when it chooses the matter it will preview. The output may reasonably be expected to have other uses, as in html translators, etc.
