+@subsection Does @previewlatex{} work with the TikZ package?
+
+@previewlatex{} doesn't have support for the @code{tikzpicture}
+environment built-in. It can be included manually by adding the lines:
+@example
+\usepackage[displaymath,sections,graphics,floats,textmath]@{preview@}
+\PreviewEnvironment[@{[]@}]@{tikzpicture@}
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+to the document preamble.
+
+Things get more complicated when the code inside the @code{tikzpicture}
+environment contains @code{$ $} for inserting inline math and
+@previewlatex{} is instructed to insert previews for it into the buffer.
+In this case, you can disable previews for inline math by changing the
+lines above to:
+@example
+\usepackage[displaymath,sections,graphics,floats
+ % textmath %% Don't preview inline math
+]@{preview@}
+\PreviewEnvironment[@{[]@}]@{tikzpicture@}
+@end example
+
+Another solution is to source out the TikZ pictures into an external file
+which uses the @code{standalone} class, process them and insert them back
+into the main file as figures with the @code{\includegraphics} macro. In
+this case, previewing of inline math will work as usual.
