Hi Nicolas,

while this would be great, I don't see any movement in this
direction, so for now I am closing this thread in my TODO folder....

Hi all,

currently the code in org-exp-blocks is intended for pre-processing only.
It seems to me like org-mode would gain a very powerful feature, if
blocks could also be previewed in their own buffer, using the same
mechanism as the org-format-latex function.
What do you think ?

I don't see how this could be done in a general way. I guess you mean in particular
the graphics blocks like ditaa?

Yes. For any block type bt, if it makes sense, it would be possible to write such org-block-<bt>-generate-image(body) that takes the block as argument and returns the path of the image it produced.

Then:
- for exporting: the existing org-export-blocks-format-<bt> functions would simply call their respective org-block-<bt>-generate- image and work the same ; - for previewing a block of type <bt>: if such org-block-<bt>- generate-image exists, call it and display it the same way org- format-latex does

Wouldn't it be great ?

Nicolas
