[comp.text.tex] emacs tex-mode.el

jdm5548@tamsun.tamu.edu (James Darrell McCauley) (05/24/91)

Perhaps some of you lispers and TeXies could add a function to
tex-mode.el: TeX-comment-region (and possibly TeX-uncomment-region)
so that it would insert %'s.   

This can probably already be done using some emacs magic, but like
most people, I don't usually get into emacs too much (just use
rmail and whatever mode happens to pop up when I edit a file).

I haved looked at the tex-mode's that Mr. Hosek just uploaded, so
please forgive me (and tell me) if this function exists.

Why not use plain old highlight-region.el?
-------<snip snip>-------------------------------------------------
(defun highlight-region (string)
  "Inserts STRING at the beginning of every line in the region."
  (interactive "sString to insert: ")
  (save-excursion
    (if (bolp)
	(forward-line -1))
    (save-restriction 
      (narrow-to-region (point) (mark))
      (goto-char (point-min))
      (replace-regexp "^" string))))
-------<snip snip>-------------------------------------------------

I fear I've deleted the name of the author/poster; I use it all the
time... It was posted to comp.emacs.sources some time ago.

Hope this helps,
Arthur

Exactly that mode - AUC-TeX, which HOSEK just uploaded will manage
that problem.
