Subject: 13.3.0; not displaying \newcommand defintions
Date: Thu, 8 Feb 2024 15:40:07 +0100

Hi,

The preview latex package does not render the "\newcommand" macros
properly.

Example,

\documentclass{template}
\title{Some title}
\author{XXX}
\begin{document}
\maketitle

\include{symbols} % The file contains all the macros defined
% It contains,
% \newcommand{\kb}{k_{\mathrm{B}}}
% \renewcommand{\d}{\mathrm{d}}

From classical Boltzmann statistics we know that the probability for finding any
particle in a given state $i$ is,
\[ \frac{N_i}{N} = \frac{\exp \left( - E_i / \kb T \right)}{Z\kb \d } \]
\include{chapters/01.introduction}
\include{chapters/appendix}

\end{document}

The symbol \kb and \d are not rendered at all. Sometimes they are
rendered and other times it throws an error saying "undefined symbols”.

Best,
Sabarish.

This document doesn't typeset for me because my TeX Live 2023 doesn't
have "template" class. After I replaced
\documentclass{template}
with
\documentclass{article}
, I can both typeset and use preview-latex for the files quoted below.
Hence I suppose that the issue isn't related directly to \newcommand and
suspect there is something incompatible with preview-latex in
the non-standard class file template.cls.

--- foo.tex ----------------------------------------------------------
\documentclass{article}
\title{Some title}
\author{XXX}
\begin{document}
\maketitle

\include{symbols}

From classical Boltzmann statistics we know that the probability for finding any
particle in a given state $i$ is,
\[ \frac{N_i}{N} = \frac{\exp \left( - E_i / \kb T \right)}{Z\kb \d } \]

\end{document}
----------------------------------------------------------------------

--- symbols.tex ------------------------------------------------------
\newcommand{\kb}{k_{\mathrm{B}}}
\renewcommand{\d}{\mathrm{d}}

%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: LaTeX
%%% TeX-master: "foo"
%%% End:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

No further comments, therefore I'm closing this report.  We can reopen
if necessary.

Hello Arash and Ikumi,

Thank you the reply and support. Apologies for not getting back earlier. So it turns out that recompiling preview latex for the entire document is required. I always previewed the file only/ buffer only. Therefore it never worked.

Best,
Sabarish.
