- inline image preview powered by =iimage-mode=

- fix inline-math highlighting for documents with multi-byte characters

** Installation

1. Install an unicode font supporting many symbols (eg. Symbolas,
Unifont, etc).

2. Put magic-latex-buffer.el into a "load-path"ed directory, and load
it in your init file:

: (require 'magic-latex-buffer)

You can activate the magic with =M-x magic-latex-buffer= in a
=latex-mode= buffer. If you want to activate automatically, add the
function to the mode hook.

: (add-hook 'latex-mode-hook 'magic-latex-buffer)

** Customizations

You can disable some features independently, if they're too fancy.

: (setq magic-latex-enable-block-highlight nil
: magic-latex-enable-suscript t
: magic-latex-enable-pretty-symbols t
: magic-latex-enable-block-align nil
: magic-latex-enable-inline-image nil
: magic-latex-enable-minibuffer-echo nil)

** Known Issues

- Not perfectly compatible with =multiple-cursors= (but still usable)
