Org mode LaTeX preview environments

Question

Is it possible to preview in org mode also environments

\begin{theorem}

hello world

\end{theorem}

I tried but I can't get the Theorem 1.2.3 header.

Answer 1

There is no theorem environment by default in LaTeX: you have to define one. Unless you are using a package that defines that environment, you have to use the \newtheorem command to create a theorem environment. So try:

#+LATEX_HEADER: \newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}

* Theorem

\begin{theorem}
    hello world
\end{theorem}

Then preview with C-c C-x C-l should work.
