Re: Orgmode + auctex + reftex + preview latex.

[Alan Davis]

I use Org-mode to convert (ie., export) org stuff into a LaTeX file,  Then
I edit that file using Emacs/AUCTeX.   The problem comes in when I have to
make edits, which for a larger text can be problematical.

I do include LaTeX bits in the org file, so some of the heavy lifting is
done by Org.   It's not as friendly as it could be for returning to the
editing part.   Still, once the file is in a LaTeX mode, I usually just
edit in Emacs/AUCTeX for the duration.

I would welcome any configuration that would make the back-and-forth
easier; however, it works great for me, at this point.   AUCTeX (or just
editing the *.tex file) works better for some cleanup, like placement of
images, or final table edits.

Good luck.
