Comprehensive TeX Archive Network: package description ------------------------------------------------------ Name: auctex Author: Per Abrahamsen Date: 7.8.1993 Last changed in archive: 1997/01/08 Version: 7.3 Archive-path: support/auctex Mirrored from: sunsite.auc.dk Description: AUC-TeX is a comprehensive customizable integrated environment for writing input files for LaTeX using GNU Emacs. AUC-TeX lets you run TeX/LaTeX and other LaTeX-related tools, such as a output filters or post processor from inside Emacs. Especially `running LaTeX' is interesting, as AUC-TeX let's you browse through the errors TeX reported, while it moves the cursor directly to the reported error, and displays some documentation for that particular error. This will even work when the document is spread over several files. AUC-TeX automatically indents your `LaTeX-source', not only as you write it---you can also let it indent and format an entire document. It has a special outline feature, which can greatly help you `getting the overview' of a document. Apart from these special features, AUC-TeX provides an large range of handy Emacs macros, which in several different ways can help you write your LaTeX documents fast and painless. All features of AUC-TeX are documented using the GNU Emacs online documentation system. That is, documentation for any command is just a key click away! AUC-TeX is written entirely in Emacs-Lisp, and hence you can easily add new features for your own needs. It was not made as part of any particular employment or project (apart from the AUC-TeX project itself). AUC-TeX is distributed under the `GNU Emacs General Public License' and may therefore almost freely be copied and redistributed.
