TeXPreview

Sumlime Text plugin for preview TeX(LaTeX) equations or some blocks.

This is a simple plugin that can help you to preview your TeX (or LaTeX) equations or a block in your file(beta).

This plugin can do:

• View an equation in an external program (you can change it using Preferences -> Package Settings -> TexPreview menu) or in Sublime build window
• Monitor for changing an equation while you are writing it (unfortunately Windows doesn't support it with external programs)
• View a string or content in a block: \begin{...} ... \end{...}

View in Sublime work only if you have ImageMagick on your computer.

To view an equation you should set the cursor in TeX equation code and run "latex_preview" command. To view a current latex content (string or block) you should run "latex_block_preview" command.

This plugin have been tested and works on Windows, Linux and macOS.
