Re: [Orgmode] org-exp-blocks: what about previewing blocks ?

Hi Eric,

this sounds like a great alternative, thanks.

I wonder if we should consider some cashing of images, also
for export.  I think we could have an alist with sha1 hashes as keys
and image files as values.  The sha1 hash could be made from the
entire code and the command that is used to create the image..

I don't have any plans to add previewing to org-exp-blocks, however
there is an alternative.

Org-babel provides for the evaluation and viewing of the results of
blocks in Org-mode documents. As such, it is possible to use Org- babel to preview the output of blocks. For example, with Org-babel installed
[1] calling C-c C-c on the following block will evaluate the block
placing a link to the resulting file into the Org-mode document.
Subsequently calling C-c C-o with the point on the block will find the
link and open it previewing the image.

Hopefully in the near future Org-babel should be stable enough to
justify an initial release, which should include an instructional page
on worg.
