Uwe, et.al.,

  Thanks a lot for your reply, however, I am not on this list, so
please CC me personally... I have tried adding TeX-expand-list as
you proposed, but that doesn't help.

  I'd like to know if in your setup the previews do appear in the
.nw buffer. For me, they only appear in the .tex buffers (the master
.tex and the .tex buffer that's generated by noweb from the .nw file).

  That is why I have tried to post-process the ".log" that's produced by
latex via this "nolatex" script. Thanks to noweb keeping the line
numbers consistent across processing stages, I assumed that by a simple
replacement of ".nw.tex" to ".nw" and removal of noweb markup from the
log, the Auctex could be tricked into putting previews directly into
the ".nw" buffer. But, it doesn't seem to work and being no Elisp
expert, I am a bit stuck now.

  What I would like to achieve the having previews in the .nw buffer
directly. I have to say that the .nw buffer is having two major modes
(LaTeX and BEE) and one minor (Noweb), and I am trying to get previews
when I move into the LaTeX chunks inside the .nw buffer.

  BTW, everything else from Auctex seems to work in the .nw file,
except the previews. I would really appreciate if somebody could confirm
the possibility of having previews inside buffers having 2 major modes
and/or having other extensions than ".tex".

Kind regards,

Pjotr Kourzanov

Hm I have used noweb in the past, but usually I run noweave on nw  files
noweave nonlinfd.nw > nonlinfd.tex
and then I latex on that file.

What is nolatex?

I think noweave should produce files with the extension .tex not
.nw.tex Hm I had to do 3 things:

'(TeX-file-extensions (quote ("tex" "sty" "cls" "ltx" "texi" "texinfo"
"dtx" "nw" "m")))

'(TeX-expand-list (quote
("%w" file "nw" t)
and finally
'(TeX-command-list (quote
("noweave" "noweave %w > %s.tex" TeX-run-command t t)

All via custom

I still don't understand you that should work since you can't run latex
on that buffer. So there is something I fail to understand.
