The target audience is people who need to +generate and regenerate many images again and again. The primary +target is the preview-latex (X)Emacs package, a package to preview +formulas from within (X)Emacs. Yes, you get to see your formulas +in the (X)Emacs buffer, see `http://preview-latex.sf.net'. + +Another example is WeBWorK, an internet-based method for delivering +homework problems to students over the internet, giving students +instant feedback as to whether or not their answers are correct, +see `http://webwork.math.rochester.edu'. + +Other applications may also benefit, like web applications as +latex2html and WYSIWYG editors like LyX. |
