[Tex/LaTex] Texstudio equation preview does not work anymore

texstudio

When I started to work with my Texstudio 2.11.2 installation (windows 10), the equation preview facility of the editor worked. Now all of a sudden it doesn't any more. I have no idea what made it stop. I can't find any activation/deactivation field for this facility in the texstudio configuration, either. Instead of showing the equation preview, I now get a helpscreen ("16 math formulas …") when hovering the cursor over the e.g. begin{equation}. The preview does not work any more even if I use the simplest file with no \usepackages. I tried reinstallation of Texstudio after deleting everything, including the .ini file, but it does not work any more. 🙁

Go to "Options->Configure TeXstudio... -> Preview" and set V at "Show preview as tooltip on formulas in editor" (at the bottom).

"Show Advanced Options" is not required.

Based on Torbjørn's answer, there is a way to get the preview to show in the preview tab. First install preview.sty. On fedora/ubuntu, you can do this with

sudo yum install tex-preview 
sudo apt-get install preview-latex-style

The on TeXstudio go to Options > Preview > Display mode > Choose always show preview in preview panel. You can also tweak other attributes of the preview here.

Anyway, thanks for asking this question. There are so many features in TeXstudio but not so much documentation.

You can delete %APPDATA%\texstudio\texstudio.ini (while TeXstudio is not running). At the next startup, TeXstudio will use the default settings and try to detect an existing MikTeX installation as part of this.
