According to its documentation, it is maintained by DCB@AI and KMP@MC. It has a number of nifty features, such as automatic flashing of matching dollar signs, brackets, braces, parens (with a "Feep" in the event of a mismatch ). Does anybody know of something analogous for GNU Emacs? See ../emacs/lisp/tex-mode.el , which is invoked by M-X tex-mode RET . This mode is new in Version 17. Here's the C-H M on it: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TeX Mode: Major mode for editing files of input for TeX. Makes $ and } display the characters they match. Makes " insert `` when it seems to be the beginning of a quotation, and '' when it appears to be the end; it inserts " only after a \. Use M-x validate-TeX-buffer to check buffer for paragraphs containing mismatched $'s or braces. Use C-c C-r to run TeX on the current region, plus a "header" copied from the top of the file (containing macro definitions, etc.), running TeX under a special subshell. C-c C-b does the whole buffer. C-c C-p prints the .dvi file made by either of those. Special commands: C-c Prefix Command " TeX-insert-quote ESC Prefix Command LFD TeX-terminate-paragraph C-c C-p TeX-print C-c C-b TeX-buffer C-c C-r TeX-region ESC } up-list ESC { TeX-insert-braces Entering TeX mode calls the value of text-mode-hook, and then the value of TeX-mode-hook. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
