There is a nice feature in an X-window environment. If you are TeXing a text in emacs using TeX-mode and its commands like `TeX-buffer', you can get a preview with an emacs command. You have only to set the variable `TeX-dvi-print-command' to "xdvi". Then C-c C-p (`TeX-print') will produce a preview of the current buffer. Boris -- Boris Hemkemeier: boris@math10.uni-bielefeld.de

Why not have _both_? All you have to do is edit tex-mode.el, copy the code for (TeX-print) to, say, (TeX-preview), change all references to TeX-dvi-print-command in the function to, say, TeX-dvi-preview-command, and add the variable TeX-dvi-preview-command in the same style as TeX-dvi-print-command. You could even go as far as binding a key sequence to TeX-preview -- look for the (define-key) that binds TeX-print and Do The Right Thing. If you really want to be thorough, change the help text for (latex-mode) and (tex-mode) in loaddefs.el to include (TeX-preview). Isn't Emacs _great_? 8-)

I don't see how myself. If not, isn't it easier to run xdvi from another window so that you immediately see the revised .dvi file without having to start xdvi again? (That is one of the nice things about xdvi - it knows when the dvi file changes and redisplays it automatically.) But, I don't understand the TeX shell, and am always searching for enlightenment about it. Pat Palmer (email: ppalmer@oskar.uchicago.edu)

doesn't this cause problems when the dvi file is only 1/2 finished?abraham@iesd.auc.dk (Per Abrahamsen) (05/23/91)

AUC (La)TeX also has both, namely C-c ! TeX-print C-c C-p TeX-preview AUC (La)TeX also automatically choose the best of pageview, xtex, and dvitty.

If anyone is Interested, I've made a much enchanced LaTeX mode for Emacs. The features discussed here concerning the ability to run both a printer driver and a previewer are there. Also BibTeX and Makeindex are bound to seperate keys. But thats not all. I've also made a parser, for the (La)TeX output, so that the errors may be parsed. That means, pressing C-c C-n (TeX-next-error), will move the cursor to the file and position of the given error. Using this feature all errormessages are documented - online. I got most of this documentation from Leslie. The distribution package comes with a minor-outline-mode, an outlinemode that can run under LaTeX mode. Other features: Intelligent macros for often used controlsequences like \section{ ... } and anvironments. Indentation by environments Well.. You may pick it up by anonymous ftp to iesd.auc.dk : pub/emacs-lisp/auc-tex.shar the files are also available individually in the files: auc-tex.el outline-m.el minor-map.el Happy LaTeX'in! /Kresten Adrian> Isn't Emacs _great_? 8-) Sure.

But why, oh why did you base your mode on the hopelessly outdated standard shell.el??? As you probably know, there is a much more robust and external command interface, namely Olin Shrivers' comint.el. I, for one, have decided not to go back to shell.el. And since I'm too ignorant (and lazy) to change your AUC modes myself, I'll stick to cmutex.el for the time being. Should, however, anyone hack the AUC modes for the use of comint, and post the diffs, I'd be VERY grateful... Comint.el (and the comint-based CMU-modes) is available through anonymous ftp, e.g., from the elisp archive tut.cis.ohio-state.edu in the files pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive/modes/cmushell* |> Happy LaTeX'in! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ hans-peter kolb kolb@kub.nl Computational Linguistics kolb@htikub5.bitnet Tilburg University (KUB) P.O.Box 90 153 The Netherlands NL-5000 LE Tilburg ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is this a request to me ???
If so --- please mail it to auc-tex@iesd.auc.dk --- with a little
more explanation...
