 @subsection Does @previewlatex{} work with  address@hidden
 
-Yes.  address@hidden works fine with @AUCTeX{} version 11.50 or later.  For

 @subsection Does @previewlatex{} work with @samp{elatex}?
 
 No problem here.  If you configure your @AUCTeX{} to use @samp{elatex},
 or simply have @samp{latex} point to @samp{elatex}, this will work fine.
