Message #5 received at submit <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):
Hello,
I've noticed that, when previewing LaTeX documents with C-c C-p C-d,
inline equations inside \textbf{} are pushed to the front of the bold
section, while the bold text itself is cut off.
A minimal example is included below, along with my a dump of my Emacs &
AUCTeX version info. I hope this is enough to reproduce it.

\begin{document}
\maketitle
This is paragraph 1.
Paragraph 2 has an equation: $a = b$.
Paragraph 3 has \textbf{some bold text. And another sentence of bold text.}
Paragraph 4 has a problem. When we \textbf{add bold text, and put
equations in the bold text, like $a$, the AUCTeX preview clips the
bold section.}. I don't know why this happens.

Thanks for your report. I confirmed what you say. This is basically a
issue described in preview-latex manual[1]. However, the workaround
mentioned there, namely putting
\PreviewMacro*\textbf
in the preamble, doesn't work because it is ignored by LaTeX as
,----
| l.7 \PreviewMacro
| *\textbf
|
| ./tst-prv3.tex:7: LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}.
`----
. When I put \PreviewMacro*\emph after \begin{document}, document
preview (C-c C-p C-d) does work but region preview doesn't.
In the manual[1], there is also a sentence
,----
| At least all of the above mentioned macros and a few more are already
| catered for by a configuration file ‘prauctex.cfg’ that gets loaded
`----
. However, \textbf is actually missing from "prauctex.cfg". Thus I think
this is a bug of preview-latex.
I'll add \textbf in the default "prauctex.cfg". Until the fixed version
is released, you can work around the bug by the following prescription:
1. Find the default "prauctex.cfg" by "kpsewhich prauctex.cfg".
2. Copy it to the suitable place (current directory or
~/texmf/tex/latex/preview/).
3. Add
\PreviewMacro*\textbf
in the copied "prauctex.cfg".

Does this work in the preamble?
\AtBeginDocument{\PreviewMacro*\textbf}

Thanks for fixing this.

Thanks Keita. Now we have one other issue to solve: We used to update
preview.(dtx|ins) on CTAN with the yearly tarball release. Since a
tarball release will not happen, maybe we should update the CTAN
package. I presume most of preview users use preview bundled with
TeXlive and not with their ELPA release. WDYT?

How can you check on your system which version of preview is being used?

Not sure, but I think the value of `preview-TeX-style-dir' could help:
,----[ C-h v preview-TeX-style-dir RET ]
| preview-TeX-style-dir is a variable defined in ‘preview.el’.
|
| Its value is nil
|
| This variable contains the location of uninstalled TeX styles.
| If this is nil, the preview styles are considered to be part of
| the installed TeX system.
|
| Otherwise, it can either just specify an absolute directory, or
| it can be a complete TEXINPUTS specification. If it is the
| latter, it has to be followed by the character with which
| kpathsea separates path components, either ‘:’ on Unix-like
| systems, or ‘;’ on Windows-like systems. And it should be
| preceded with .: or .; accordingly in order to have . first in
| the search path.
|
| The ‘TEXINPUTS’ environment type variables will get this prepended
| at load time calling M-x preview-set-texinputs to reflect this.
| You can permanently install the style files using
| M-x preview-install-styles.
|
| Don’t set this variable other than with customize so that its
| changes get properly reflected in the environment.
|
`----
And I think "uninstalled" should read "installed". My solution was to
hit 'C-c C-l' after a preview run and search for preview.sty.
