Formatting the document with TeX, LaTeX or ConTeXt, viewing
with a previewer, printing the document, running BibTeX, making an
index, or checking the document with lacheck
or
chktex
all require running an external command.
There are two ways to run an external command, you can either run it on
all of the current documents with TeX-command-master
, or on the
current region with TeX-command-region
. A special case of
running TeX on a region is TeX-command-buffer
which differs
from TeX-command-master
if the current buffer is not its own
master file.
(C-c C-c) Query the user for a command, and run it on the master
file associated with the current buffer. The name of the master file is
controlled by the variable TeX-master
. The available commands are
controlled by the variable TeX-command-list
.
See section Installing AUCTeX, for a discussion about TeX-command-list
and
Multifile Documents for a discussion about TeX-master
.
(C-c C-r) Query the user for a command, and run it on the "region
file". Some commands (typically those invoking TeX or LaTeX)
will write the current region into the region file, after extracting the
header and tailer from the master file. If mark is inactive (which can
happen with transient-mark-mode
), use the old region. The name
of the region file is controlled by the variable TeX-region
. The
name of the master file is controlled by the variable TeX-master
.
The header is all text up to the line matching the regular expression
TeX-header-end
. The trailer is all text from the line matching
the regular expression TeX-trailer-start
. The available commands
are controlled by the variable TeX-command-list
.
(C-c C-t C-r) If you don't have a mode like
transient-mark-mode
active, where marks get disabled
automatically, the region would need to get properly set before each
call to TeX-command-region
. If you fix the current region with
C-c C-t C-r, then it will get used for more commands even though
mark and point may change. An explicitly activated mark, however, will
always define a new region when calling TeX-command-region
.
(C-c C-b) Query the user for a command, and run it on the "region file". Some commands (typically those invoking TeX or LaTeX) will write the current buffer into the region file, after extracting the header and tailer from the master file. See above for details.
AUCTeX will allow one process for each document, plus one process for the region file to be active at the same time. Thus, if you are editing n different documents, you can have n plus one processes running at the same time. If the last process you started was on the region, the commands described in Catching the errors and Controlling the output will work on that process, otherwise they will work on the process associated with the current document.
The name of the file for temporarily storing the text when formatting the current region.
A regular expression matching the end of the header. By default, this is `\begin{document}' in LaTeX mode and `%**end of header' in TeX mode.
A regular expression matching the start of the trailer. By default, this is `\end{document}' in LaTeX mode and `\bye' in TeX mode.
AUCTeX will try to guess what command you want to invoke, but by
default it will assume that you want to run TeX in TeX mode and
LaTeX in LaTeX mode. You can overwrite this by setting the
variable TeX-command-default
.
The default command to run in this buffer. Must be an entry in
TeX-command-list
.
If you want to overwrite the values of TeX-header-end
,
TeX-trailer-start
, or TeX-command-default
, you can do that
for all files by setting them in either TeX-mode-hook
,
plain-TeX-mode-hook
, or LaTeX-mode-hook
. To overwrite
them for a single file, define them as file variables (see (emacs)File Variables section `File Variables' in The Emacs Editor). You do this by putting special
formatted text near the end of the file.
%%% Local Variables: %%% TeX-header-end: "% End-Of-Header" %%% TeX-trailer-start: "% Start-Of-Trailer" %%% TeX-command-default: "SliTeX" %%% End: |
AUCTeX will try to save any buffers related to the document, and
check if the document needs to be reformatted. If the variable
TeX-save-query
is non-nil, AUCTeX will query before saving
each file. By default AUCTeX will check emacs buffers associated
with files in the current directory, in one of the
TeX-macro-private
directories, and in the TeX-macro-global
directories. You can change this by setting the variable
TeX-check-path
.
Directory path to search for dependencies.
If nil, just check the current file. Used when checking if any files have changed.
(C-c C-t C-p)
This command toggles the PDF mode of AUCTeX, a buffer-local
minor mode. You can customize TeX-PDF-mode
to give it a
different default. The default is used when AUCTeX does not have
additional clue about what a document might want. This option usually
results in calling either PDFTeX or ordinary TeX.
If this is set, DVI will also be produced by calling
PDFTeX, setting \pdfoutput=0
. This makes it possible to use
packages like `pdfcprot' even when producing DVI
files. Some modern TeX distributions, e.g. teTeX 3.0, do this
anyway, so that you need not enable it within AUCTeX.
(C-c C-t C-i) This command toggles the interactive mode of
AUCTeX, a global minor mode. You can customize
TeX-interactive-mode
to give it a different default. In
interactive mode, TeX will pause with an error prompt when errors are
encountered and wait for the user to type something.
(C-c C-t C-s) toggles Source Special support. Source Specials will move the DVI viewer to the location corresponding to point (forward search), and it will use `emacsclient' or `gnuclient' to have the previewer move Emacs to a location corresponding to a control-click in the previewer window. See section Viewing the formatted output.
You can permanently activate TeX-source-specials-mode
with
(TeX-source-specials-mode 1) |
or by customizing the variable TeX-source-specials-mode
.
There is a bunch of customization options, use customize-group
on
the group `TeX-source-specials' to find out more.
It has to be stressed very strongly however, that Source Specials can cause differences in page breaks, in spacing, can seriously interfere with various packages and should thus never be used for the final version of a document. In particular, fine-tuning the page breaks should be done with Source Specials switched off.
(C-c C-t C-o)
This command toggles the use of the Omega mode of AUCTeX, a buffer-local minor mode. If it is switched on,
omega
will be used instead of tex
, and
lambda
instead of latex
.
