Put in your .emacs file the line: (set-variable (quote page-delimiter) "^%%") %% When a comment line starting with %% (like the ones in this message) is put at the beginning, say, of every section/subsection, then the by just doing C-x p (that is narrow-to-page), one can concentrate in the section/subsection the point is in, in the narrow-to-region fashion (but without having to position the mark). To go back to normal do C-x w (that is widen). I am using it and it's a woderful little trick. %% George Georgiou georgiou@rex.cs.tulane.edu Computer Science Department +---------------------------+ Tulane University | Fiat Lux | New Orleans, LA 70118 +---------------------------+

Outline mode substitutes selected text with three dots, based on the structure of your document. Some example: Get overview of the document: \begin{document}... \chapter{one}... \chapter{two}... \chapter{three}... Examine the structure of chapter two: \begin{document}... \chapter{one}... \section{a}... \subsection{ax}... \subsection{ay}... \section{b}... \subsection{bx}... \chapter{two}... \chapter{three}... Start editing section ax: \begin{document}... \chapter{one}... \section{a}... \subsection{ax} bla bla bla bla; also blah blah and blah. \subsection{ay}... \section{b}... \subsection{bx}... \chapter{two}... \chapter{three}... You can open or close sections, get a list of subsections, etc. Outline mode also allows you to navigate in a LaTeX document based on the sections. You can move a level up, to next or previous section, or to next or previous section on the same level. An outline (minor) mode witch works well with LaTeX documents is a part of the AUC TeX distribution, and available for anonymous ftp at the site iesd.auc.dk (130.225.48.4) in the file /pub/emacs-lisp/auc-tex.3.0.tar.Z

Some example: > > [ Examples ...] I am already using auc-tex's minor outline mode, and it's great. However, it doesn't provide a mechanism to narrow-to-region by section, subsection, or any other arbitrary grouping, which I often find handy. >Outline mode also allows you to navigate in a LaTeX document based on >the sections. You can move a level up, to next or previous section, >or to next or previous section on the same level. If one uses (set-variable (quote page-delimiter) "^%%"), navigation through pages delimited by "%%" is possible using C-x ] and C-x [. Do "C-h a page" for more functions. I am not pretending that this is a substitute for the auc-tex's outline mode. >An outline (minor) mode witch works well with LaTeX documents is a >part of the AUC TeX distribution, and available for anonymous ftp at >the site iesd.auc.dk (130.225.48.4) in the file >/pub/emacs-lisp/auc-tex.3.0.tar.Z Auc-tex is highly recommended.
