In response to somebody asking for a GNU Emacs TeX mode,
we'd like to announce the following:
As part of the Berkeley VorTeX distribution, we
have a GNU Emacs TeX mode and a BibTeX mode in the tape.
Here is a brief description of the two modes.
(1) The file "bibtex-mode.el" can be used to create .bib files.
(2) The file "tex-mode.el" is the TeX interface that bootstraps
the following files.
(3) The file "tex-misc.el" contains miscellaneous TeX supporting functions
such as TeX/LaTeX/SliTeX execution, error positioning,
LaTeX/SliTeX environment opening and closing, dollar sign balancing,
..., etc.
(4) The file "tex-bib.el" is an interface to BibTeX for entry lookups
and actual/symbolic substitutions. The lookup facility works for
both TeX and LaTeX documents. The substitution facility can be used
as a bibliography preprocessor for plain TeX documents. When used
for LaTeX documents, the substitution facility effectively cuts down
the ``latex->bibtex->latex->latex'' process to just the last two.
(5) The file "tex-spell.el" is a spelling checking facility.
Other software in the package include a TeX DVI previewer, a PXL font editor,
and fonts, for the SUN workstation.
