Math & Science ⇒ preview-latex and mhchem

[Tadeusz]

Hi,

I am using the mhchem package for writing chemical formulas. Preview-latex displays them correctly in Emacs when the command \ce is inside the math environment, but not when \ce is inside the regular text. After reading documentation I have added:

Code: Select all

\PreviewMacro[{{}}]{\ce}

to the preamble and now the chemical formulas are displayed correctly both in regular text and in math environment. However, the rest of the math is not. For example, $\alpha \ce{Al2O3}$ is displayed as:
"$\alpha Al2O3$" (with 2 and 3 in subscripts), while without \PreviewMacro I can see the Greek letter alpha and correctly formatted formula. Is it possible to have a correct preview of everything in both text and math mode?

Thanks!
Tad
