AUC TeX
*******

AUC TeX is an integrated environment for editing LaTeX and TeX files.

   This file documents AUC TeX version 9.7.

   Although AUC TeX contains a large number of features, there are no
reasons to despair.  You can continue to write TeX and LaTeX documents
the way you are used to, and only start using the multiple features in
small steps.  AUC TeX is not monolithic, each feature described in this
manual is useful by itself, but together they provide an environment
where you will make very few LaTeX errors, and makes it easy to find
the errors that may slip through anyway.

   If you want to make AUC TeX aware of style files and multi-file
documents right away, insert the following in your `.emacs' file.
     (setq TeX-auto-save t)
     (setq TeX-parse-self t)
     (setq-default TeX-master nil)

   NOTE: This documentation is preliminary.  It should however cover
most important points.  Corrections or perhaps rewrites of sections are
VERY WELCOME.

Introduction to AUC TeX
***********************

This section of the AUC TeX manual gives a brief overview of what AUC
TeX is, and the section is also available as a `README' file.  It is
*not* an attempt to document AUC TeX.  Real documentation for AUC TeX
is available in the rest of the manual, which you can find in the `doc'
directory.

   Read the `INSTALLATION' file for information about how to install
AUC TeX.  It is identical to the Installation chapter in the AUC TeX
manual.

   If you are upgrading from the previous version of AUC TeX, the
latest changes can be found in the `CHANGES' file.  If you are
upgrading from an older version, read the History chapter in the AUC
TeX manual.

   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 lets 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 an
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.

   The next sections are a short introduction to some `actual' features.
For further information, refer to the build-in online documentation of
AUC TeX.

Indentation and formatting
==========================

AUC TeX may automatically indent your document as you write it. By
pressing <lfd> instead of <ret> at the end of a line, the current line
is indented by two spaces according to the current environment level,
and the cursor is moved down one line.  By pressing <tab>, the current
line is indented, and the cursor stays where it is.  The well-known
Emacs feature `format-paragraph' (`M-q') is reimplemented especially
for AUC TeX to follow the indentation.  A special command
`LaTeX-fill-buffer' lets you indent an entire document like the
well-known C utility indent (this time, only according to the LaTeX
structure :-).

Completion
==========

By studying your `\documentstyle' command (in the top of your
document), and consulting a precompiled list of (La)TeX symbols from a
large number of TeX and LaTeX files, AUC TeX is aware of the LaTeX
commands you should able to use in this particular document.  This
`knowledge' of AUC TeX is used for two purposes.

  1. To make you able to `complete' partly written LaTeX commands. You
     may e.g. write `\renew' and press `M-<tab>'
     (`TeX-complete-symbol'), and then AUC TeX will complete the word
     `\renewcommand' for you. In case of ambiguity it will display a
     list of possible completions.

  2. To aid you inserting environments, that is \begin - \end pairs.
     This is done by pressing C-c C-e (LaTeX-environment), and you will
     be prompted for which `environment' to insert.

Editing your document
=====================

A number of more or less intelligent keyboard macros have been defined
to aid you editing your document.  The most important are listed here
below.

`LaTeX-environment'
     (`C-c C-e') Insert a `\begin{}' -- `\end{}' pair as described
     above.

`LaTeX-section'
     (`C-c C-s') Insert one of `\chapter', `\section', etc.

`TeX-font'
     (`C-c C-f C-r', `C-c C-f C-i', `C-c C-f C-b') Insert one of
     `{\textrm }'), `{\textit \/}' `{\textbf }' etc.

   A number of additional functions are available.  But it would be far
too much to write about here.  Refer to the rest of the AUC TeX
documentation for further information.

Running LaTeX
=============

When invoking on of the commands `TeX-command-master' (`C-c C-c') or
`TeX-command-region' (`C-c C-r') LaTeX is run on either the entire
current document or a given region of it.  The Emacs view is split in
two, and the output of TeX is printed in the second half of the screen,
as you may simultaneously continue editing your document.  In case TeX
found any errors when processing your input you can call the function
`TeX-next-error' (`C-c `') which will move the cursor to the first
given error, and display a short explanatory text along with the
message TeX gave.  This procedure may be repeated until all errors have
been displayed.  By pressing `C-c C-w' (`TeX-toggle-debug-boxes') you
can toggle whether the browser also should notify over-full/under-full
boxes or not.

   Once you've successfully formatted your document, you may preview or
print it by invoking `TeX-command-master' again.

Outlines
========

Along with AUC TeX comes support for outline mode for Emacs, which lets
you browse the sectioning structure of your document, while you will
still be able to use the full power of the rest of the AUC TeX
functionality.

Availability
============

The most recent version is always available by ftp at

                   `ftp://ftp.iesd.auc.dk/pub/emacs-lisp/auctex.tar.gz'

   In case you don't have access anonymous ftp, you can get it by email

Inserting Frequently Used Commands
**********************************

The most commonly used commands/macros of AUC TeX are those which
simply insert templates for often used TeX and/or LaTeX constructs,
like font changes, handling of environments, etc.  These features are
very simple, and easy to learn, and help you avoiding stupid mistakes
like mismatched braces, or `\begin{}'-`\end{}' pairs.

* Menu:

* Quotes::                      Inserting double quotes
* Font Specifiers::             Inserting Font Specifiers
* Sectioning::                  Inserting chapters, sections, etc.
* Environments::                Inserting Environment Templates


File: auctex.info,  Node: Quotes,  Next: Font Specifiers,  Prev: Frequently Used Commands,  Up: Frequently Used Commands

Insertion of Quotes, Dollars, and Braces
========================================

In TeX literal double quotes `"like this"' are seldom used, instead two
single quotes are used ```like this'''.  To help you insert these
efficiently, AUC TeX allows you to continue to press `"' to insert two
single quotes.  To get a literal double quote, press `"' twice.

 - Command: TeX-insert-quote COUNT
     (`"') Insert the appropriate quote marks for TeX.

     Inserts the value of `TeX-open-quote' (normally ```') or
     `TeX-close-quote' (normally `''') depending on the context.  With
     prefix argument, always inserts `"' characters.

 - User Option: TeX-open-quote
     String inserted by typing `"' to open a quotation.

 - User Option: TeX-close-quote
     String inserted by typing `"' to open a quotation.

   If you include the style file `german' `TeX-open-quote' and
`TeX-close-quote' will both be set to `"'.

   In AUC TeX, dollar signs should match like they do in TeX.  This has
been partially implemented, we assume dollar signs always match within
a paragraph.  The first `$' you insert in a paragraph will do nothing
special.  The second `$' will match the first.  This will be indicated
by moving the cursor temporarily over the first dollar sign.  If you
enter a dollar sign that matches a double dollar sign `$$' AUC TeX will
automatically insert two dollar signs.  If you enter a second dollar
sign that matches a single dollar sign, the single dollar sign will
automatically be converted to a double dollar sign.

 - Command: TeX-insert-dollar ARG
     (`$') Insert dollar sign.

     Show matching dollar sign if this dollar sign end the TeX math
     mode.  Ensure double dollar signs match up correctly by inserting
     extra dollar signs when needed.

     With optional ARG, insert that many dollar signs.

   To avoid unbalanced braces, it is useful to insert them pairwise.
You can do this by typing `C-c {'.

 - Command: TeX-insert-braces
     (`C-c {') Make a pair of braces and position the cursor to type
     inside of them.

Inserting Font Specifiers
=========================

Perhaps the most used keyboard commands of AUC TeX are the short-cuts
available for easy insertion of font changing macros.  They all put the
font change inside a TeX group, a practice that help preventing subtle
errors.  The most significant advantage of using these command instead
of typing it in yourself, is that the braces will always match
correctly.

   If you give an argument (that is, type `C-u') to the font command,
the innermost font will be replaced, i.e. the font in the TeX group
around point will be changed.  The following table shows the available
commands, with `-!-' indicating the position where the text will be
inserted.

`C-c C-f C-r'
     Insert roman {\textrm -!-} text.

`C-c C-f C-b'
     Insert bold face `{\textbf -!-}' text.

`C-c C-f C-i'
     Insert italics `{\textit -!-\/}' text.

`C-c C-f C-e'
     Insert emphasized `{\emph -!-\/}' text.

`C-c C-f C-s'
     Insert slanted `{\textsl -!-\/}' text.

`C-c C-f C-t'
     Insert typewriter `{\texttt -!-}' text.

`C-c C-f C-c'
     Insert SMALL CAPS `{\textsc -!-}' text.

`C-c C-f C-d'
     Delete the innermost font specification containing point.


 - Command: TeX-font ARG
     (`C-c C-f') Insert template for font change command.

     If REPLACE is not nil, replace current font.  WHAT determines the
     font to use, as specified by `TeX-font-list'.

 - User Option: TeX-font-list
     List of fonts used by TeX-font.

     Each entry is a list with three elements.  The first element is the
     key to activate the font.  The second element is the string to
     insert before point, and the third element is the string to insert
     after point.  An optional fourth element means always replace if
     not nil.


File: auctex.info,  Node: Sectioning,  Next: Environments,  Prev: Font Specifiers,  Up: Frequently Used Commands

Inserting chapters, sections, etc.
==================================

Insertion of sectioning macros, that is `\chapter', `\section',
`\subsection', etc. and accompanying `\label''s may be eased by using
`C-c C-s'.  This command is highly customizable, the following
describes the default behavior.

   When invoking you will be asked for a section macro to insert.  An
appropriate default is automatically selected by AUC TeX, that is
either: at the top of the document; the top level sectioning for that
document style, and any other place: The same as the last occurring
sectioning command.

   Next, you will be asked for the actual name of that section, and
last you will be asked for a label to be associated with that section.
The label will be prefixed by the value specified in
`LaTeX-section-hook'.

 - Command: LaTeX-section ARG
     (`C-c C-s') Insert a sectioning command.

     Determine the type of section to be inserted, by the argument ARG.

        * If ARG is nil or missing, use the current level.

        * If ARG is a list (selected by C-u), go downward one level.

        * If ARG is negative, go up that many levels.

        * If ARG is positive or zero, use absolute level:
             + 0 : part

             + 1 : chapter

             + 2 : section

             + 3 : subsection

             + 4 : subsubsection

             + 5 : paragraph

             + 6 : subparagraph

     The following variables can be set to customize the function.

    `LaTeX-section-hook'
          Hooks to be run when inserting a section.

    `LaTeX-section-label'
          Prefix to all section references.


   The precise behavior of `LaTeX-section' is defined by the contents
of `LaTeX-section-hook'.

 - User Option: LaTeX-section-hook
     List of hooks to run when a new section is inserted.

     The following variables are set before the hooks are run

    LEVEL
          Numeric section level, default set by prefix arg to
          `LaTeX-section'.

    NAME
          Name of the sectioning command, derived from LEVEL.

    TITLE
          The title of the section, default to an empty string.

    TOC
          Entry for the table of contents list, default nil.

    DONE-MARK
          Position of point afterwards, default nil meaning after the
          inserted text.

     A number of hooks are already defined.  Most likely, you will be
     able to get the desired functionality by choosing from these hooks.

    `LaTeX-section-heading'
          Query the user about the name of the sectioning command.
          Modifies LEVEL and NAME.

    `LaTeX-section-title'
          Query the user about the title of the section. Modifies TITLE.

    `LaTeX-section-toc'
          Query the user for the toc entry.  Modifies TOC.

    `LaTeX-section-section'
          Insert LaTeX section command according to NAME, TITLE, and
          TOC.  If TOC is nil, no toc entry is inserted.  If TOC or
          TITLE are empty strings, DONE-MARK will be placed at the
          point they should be inserted.

    `LaTeX-section-label'
          Insert a label after the section command.  Controlled by the
          variable `LaTeX-section-label'.

     To get a full featured `LaTeX-section' command, insert

          (setq LaTeX-section-hook
                '(LaTeX-section-heading
                  LaTeX-section-title
                  LaTeX-section-toc
                  LaTeX-section-section
                  LaTeX-section-label))

     in your `.emacs' file.

   The behavior of `LaTeX-section-label' is determined by the variable
`LaTeX-section-label'.

 - User Option: LaTeX-section-label
     Default prefix when asking for a label.

     If it is a string, it is used unchanged for all kinds of sections.
     If it is nil, no label is inserted.  If it is a list, the list is
     searched for a member whose car is equal to the name of the
     sectioning command being inserted.  The cdr is then used as the
     prefix.  If the name is not found, or if the cdr is nil, no label
     is inserted.

     By default, chapters have a prefix of `cha:' while sections and
     subsections have a prefix of `sec:'.  Labels are not automatically
     inserted for other types of sections.


File: auctex.info,  Node: Environments,  Prev: Sectioning,  Up: Frequently Used Commands

Inserting Environment Templates
===============================

A large apparatus is available that supports insertions of environments,
that is `\begin{}' -- `\end{}' pairs.

   AUC TeX is aware of most of the actual environments available in a
specific document.  This is achieved by examining your `\documentstyle'
command, and consulting a precompiled list of environments available in
a large number of styles.

   You insert an environment with `C-c C-e', and select an environment
type.  Depending on the environment, AUC TeX may ask more questions
about the optional parts of the selected environment type.  With `C-u
C-c C-e' you will change the current environment.

 - Command: LaTeX-environment ARG
     (`C-c C-e')  AUC TeX will prompt you for an environment to insert.
     At this prompt, you may press <TAB> or <SPC> to complete a
     partially written name, and/or to get a list of available
     environments.  After selection of a specific environment AUC TeX
     may prompt you for further specifications.

     If the optional argument ARG is not-nil (i.e. you have given a
     prefix argument), the current environment is modified and no new
     environment is inserted.

   As a default selection, AUC TeX will suggest the environment last
inserted or, as the first choice the value of the variable
`LaTeX-default-environment'.

 - User Option: LaTeX-default-environment
     Default environment to insert when invoking `LaTeX-environment'
     first time.

   If the document is empty, or the cursor is placed at the top of the
document, AUC TeX will default to insert a `document' environment.

   Most of these are described further in the following sections, and
you may easily specify more, as described in `Customizing environments'.

* Menu:

* Floats::                      Floats
* Itemize-like::                Itemize-like
* Tabular-like::                Tabular-like
* Customizing environments::    Customizing environments

   You can close the current environment with `C-c ]', but we suggest
that you use `C-c C-e' to insert complete environments instead.

 - Command: LaTeX-close-environment
     (`C-c ]') Insert an `\end' that matches the current environment.

Floats
------

Figures and tables (i.e., floats) may also be inserted using AUC TeX.
After choosing either `figure' or `table' in the environment list
described above, you will be prompted for a number of additional things.

FLOAT-TO
     This field is the option of float environments that controls how
     they are placed in the final document.  In LaTeX this is a
     sequence of the letters `htbp' as described in the LaTeX manual.
     The value will default to the value of `LaTeX-float'.

CAPTION
     This is the caption of the float.

LABEL
     The label of this float.  The label will have a default prefix,
     which is controlled by the variables `LaTeX-figure-label' and
     `LaTeX-table-label'.

   Moreover, in the case of a `figure' environment, you will be asked if
you want to insert a `center' environment inside the figure.

 - User Option: LaTeX-float
     Default placement for floats.

 - User Option: LaTeX-figure-label
     Prefix to use for figure labels.

 - User Option: LaTeX-table-label
     Prefix to use for table labels.

Itemize-like
------------

In an itemize-like environment, nodes (i.e., `\item's) may be inserted
using `C-c <LFD>'.

 - Command: LaTeX-insert-item
     (`C-c <LFD>') Close the current item, move to the next line and
     insert an appropriate `\item' for the current environment. That is,
     `itemize' and `enumerate' will have `\item ' inserted, while
     `description' will have `\item[]' inserted.

Entering Mathematics
====================

TeX is written by a mathematician, and has always contained good
support for formatting mathematical text.  AUC TeX supports this
tradition, by offering a special minor mode for entering text with many
mathematic symbols.  You can enter this mode by typing `C-c ~'.

 - Command: LaTeX-math-mode
     (`C-c ~') Toggle LaTeX-math-mode.  This is a minor mode rebinding
     the key `LaTeX-math-abbrev-prefix' to allow easy typing of
     mathematical symbols.  ``' will read a character from the keyboard,
     and insert the symbol as specified in `LaTeX-math-list'.  If given
     a prefix argument, the symbol will be surrounded by dollar signs.

   You can use another prefix key (instead of ``') by  setting the
variable LaTeX-math-abbrev-prefix.

 - User Option: LaTeX-math-abbrev-prefix
     A string containing the prefix of `LaTeX-math-mode' commands; This
     value defaults to ``'.

   The variable `LaTeX-math-list' holds the actual mapping.

 - User Option: LaTeX-math-list
     A list containing key command mappings to use in `LaTeX-math-mode'.
     The car of each element is the key and the cdr is the macro name.

   The AUC TeX distributions includes a reference card for
`LaTeX-math-mode' with a list of all math mode commands.

Completion
==========

Emacs lisp programmers probably know the `lisp-complete-symbol'
command, usually bound to `M-<TAB>'.  Users of the wonderful ispell
mode know and love the `ispell-complete-word' command from that
package.  Similarly, AUC TeX has a `TeX-complete-symbol' command,
usually bound to `M-<TAB>'.  Using `LaTeX-complete-symbol' makes it
easier to type and remember the names of long LaTeX macros.

   In order to use `TeX-complete-symbol', you should write a backslash
and the start of the macro.  Typing `M-<TAB>' will now complete as much
of the macro, as it unambiguously can.  For example, if you type
``\renewc'' and then ``M-<TAB>', it will expand to ``\renewcommand''.

 - Command: TeX-complete-symbol
     (`M-<TAB>')  Complete TeX symbol before point.

   A more direct way to insert a macro is with `TeX-insert-macro',
bound to `C-c C-m'.  It has the advantage over completion that it knows
about the argument of most standard LaTeX macros, and will prompt for
them.  It also knows about the type of the arguments, so it will for
example give completion for the argument to `\include'.  Some examples
are listed below.

 - Command: TeX-insert-macro
     (`C-c C-m') Prompt (with completion) for the name of a TeX macro,
     and if AUC TeX knows the macro, prompt for each argument.

   As a default selection, AUC TeX will suggest the macro last inserted
or, as the first choice the value of the variable `TeX-default-macro'.

 - User Option: TeX-default-macro
     Default macro to insert when invoking `TeX-insert-macro' first
     time.

   A faster alternative is to bind the function `TeX-electric-macro' to
`\'.  This can be done by setting the variable `TeX-electric-escape'

 - User Option: TeX-electric-escape
     If this is non-nil when AUC TeX is loaded, the TeX escape
     character `\' will be bound to `TeX-electric-macro'

   The difference between `TeX-insert-macro' and `TeX-electric-macro'
is that space will complete and exit from the minibuffer in
`TeX-electric-macro'.  Use <TAB> if you merely want to complete.

 - Command: TeX-electric-macro
     Prompt (with completion) for the name of a TeX macro, and if AUC
     TeX knows the macro, prompt for each argument.  Space will
     complete and exit.

   By default AUC TeX will put an empty set braces `{}' after a macro
with no arguments to stop it from eating the next whitespace.  This can
be stopped by entering `LaTeX-math-mode', *note Mathematics::, or by
setting `TeX-insert-braces' to nil

 - User Option: TeX-insert-braces
     If non-nil, append a empty pair of braces after inserting a macro.

   Completions work because AUC TeX can analyze TeX files, and store
symbols in emacs lisp files for later retrieval.  *Note Automatic::, for
more information.

   AUC TeX will also make completion for many macro arguments, for
example existing labels when you enter a `\ref' macro with
`TeX-insert-macro' or `TeX-electric-macro', and BibTeX entries when you
enter a `\cite' macro.  For this kind of completion to work, parsing
must be enabled as described in *note Parsing Files::.  For `\cite' you
must also make sure that the BibTeX files have been saved at least once
after you enabled automatic parsing on save, and that the basename of
the BibTeX file does not conflict with the basename of one of TeX files.

Commenting
==========

It is often necessary to comment out temporarily a region of TeX or
LaTeX code.  This can be done with the commands `C-c ;' and `C-c %'.
`C-c ;' will comment out all lines in the current region, while `C-c %'
will comment out the current paragraph.  To uncomment, simply type `C-u
- C-c ;' to uncomment all lines in the region, or `C-u - C-c %'
uncomment all comment lines around point.

   By default, these commands will insert or remove a single `%'.  To
insert more than one, give an argument. `C-u 5 C-c %' will add five `%'
to each line, while `C-u - 5 C-c %' will remove up to 5 `%' from each
line.

 - Command: TeX-comment-region COUNT
     (`C-c ;') Add or remove `%' from the beginning of each line in the
     current region, as specified by COUNT.

 - Command: TeX-comment-paragraph COUNT
     (`C-c %') Add or remove `%' from the beginning of each line in the
     current paragraph, as specified by COUNT.  When removing `%''s the
     paragraph is considered to consist of all preceding and succeeding
     lines starting with a `%', until the first non-comment line.

Marking, Formatting and Indenting
=================================

AUC TeX contains very advanced handling of indentation and reformatting
of the LaTeX source.  If you have already tried AUC TeX with
`auto-fill-mode' enabled, you may have noted that the source is
automatically indented and formatted as you write it.  More over, AUC
TeX is able to format sections of text on demand.

   It is important to realize, that AUC TeX comes with `formatting' in
two fashions.  Either letting TeX format the file, or letting AUC TeX
make the ASCII document look better.

   Indentation is done by LaTeX environments and by TeX groups, that is
the body of an environment is indented by the value of
`LaTeX-indent-level' (default 2).  Also, items of an `itemize-like'
environment are indented by the value of `LaTeX-item-indent', default
-2.  This indentation makes it easier to see the structure of the
document, and to catch errors such as a missing close brace.  Thus, the
indentation is done for precisely the same reasons that you would
indent ordinary computer programs.

   The following is a short sample of an itemize environment indented by
AUC TeX.  If more environment are nested, they are indented
`accumulated' just like most programming languages usually are seen
indented in nested constructs.

     \begin{itemize}
     \item Insertion of templates for logical-structural compositions such as
       environments and sections.
     \item Hot-keys for easy access to certain often used constructs, e.g.,
       font changes, accented letters, and mathematical symbols.
     \item Running application programs (such as \TeX), and then parsing
       the output so that errors in the document may be located
       easily.
     \item Support for multi-file documents.
     \item Online help for \AllTeX\ error messages.
     \item Outlining\Dash i.e., manipulating the document as a composition
       of nested/sequential logical constructs.
     \item Instant formatting and indentation of the \ascii-document in
       order to make it easier to read.
     \item `Completion' (and thereby spell-checking) of partially written
       control sequences.
     \end{itemize}

   You can format and indent single lines, paragraphs, environments, or
sections.

`<TAB>'
     `LaTeX-indent-line' will indent the current line.

`<LFD>'
     `reindent-then-newline-and-indent' indents the current line, and
     then inserts a new line (much like <RET>) and move the cursor to an
     appropriate position by the left margin.

`M-q'
     Alias for `C-c C-q C-p'

`C-c C-q C-p'
     `LaTeX-fill-paragraph' will reformat or `fill' the current
     paragraph.

`C-c C-q C-e'
     `LaTeX-fill-environment' will reformat or `fill' the current
     environment.  This may e.g. be the `document' environment, in
     which case the entire document will be formatted.

`C-c C-q C-s'
     `LaTeX-fill-section' will reformat or `fill' the current logical
     sectional unit.

`M-g'
     Alias for `C-c C-q C-r'

`C-c C-q C-r'
     `LaTeX-fill-region' will format or `fill' the current region.

   *Warning:* The formatting cannot handle tabular-like environments.
Those will be completely messed-up if you try to format them.

 - User Option: LaTeX-indent-level
     Number of spaces to add to the indentation for each `\begin' not
     matched by a `\end'.

 - User Option: LaTeX-item-indent
     Number of spaces to add to the indentation for `\item''s in list
     environments.

 - User Option: TeX-brace-indent-level
     Number of spaces to add to the indentation for each `{' not
     matched by a `}'.

Outlining the Document
======================

GNU Emacs earlier than version 19.19 does not have a useful outline
mode.  If you want to use outlines with old versions of emacs, please
get the file `outln-18.el' from
`sunsite.auc.dk:/packages/auctex/outln-18.el'.  It is a port of the
Emacs 19.19 outline mode to Emacs 18 and Lucid Emacs.

   AUC TeX supports the standard outline minor mode using LaTeX
sectioning commands as header lines.  *Note Outline Mode:
(emacs)Outline Mode.  By default `outline-minor-mode' will use the
prefix key `C-c' which is also used by AUC TeX, so it is suggested that
you choose another prefix key by inserting

       (setq outline-minor-mode-prefix "\C-c\C-o") ; Or whatever...

   in your `.emacs' file.

   You can add your own headings by setting the variable
`TeX-outline-extra'.

 - Variable: TeX-outline-extra
     List of extra TeX outline levels.

     Each element is a list with two entries.  The first entry is the
     regular expression matching a header, and the second is the level
     of the header.  A `^' is automatically prepended to the regular
     expressions in the list, so they must match text at the beginning
     of the line.

     See `LaTeX-section-list' for existing header levels.

   The following example add `\item' and `\bibliography' headers, with
`\bibliography' at the same outline level as `\section', and `\item'
being below `\subparagraph'.

     (setq TeX-outline-extra
           '(("[ \t]*\\\\\\(bib\\)?item\\b" 7)
             ("\\\\bibliography\\b" 2)))

   You may want to check out the unbundled `out-xtra' package for even
better outline support.  It is available from your favorite emacs lisp
archive.

Formatting and Printing
***********************

The most powerful features of AUC TeX may be those allowing you to run
(La)TeX and other external commands like BibTeX and `makeindex' from
within Emacs, viewing and printing the results, and moreover allowing
you to _debug_ your documents.

* Menu:

* Commands::                    Invoking external commands.
* Debugging::                   Debugging TeX and LaTeX output.
* Checking::                    Checking the document.
* Control::                     Controlling the processes.

Executing Commands
==================

Formatting the document with TeX or LaTeX, 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'.

 - Command: TeX-command-master
     (`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'.

   *Note Installation:: for a discussion about `TeX-command-list' and
*Note Multifile:: for a discussion about `TeX-master'.

 - Command: TeX-command-region
     (`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 not active,
     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'.

   AUC TeX 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 *Note Debugging:: and *Note Control::
will work on that process, otherwise they will work on the process
associated with the current document.

 - User Option: TeX-region
     The name of the file for temporarily storing the text when
     formatting the current region.

 - User Option: TeX-header-end
     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.

 - User Option: TeX-trailer-start
     A regular expression matching the start of the trailer.  By
     default, this is `\end{document}' in LaTeX mode and `\bye' in TeX
     mode.

   AUC TeX 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'.

 - User Option: 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 (*note File Variables: (emacs)File Variables.).  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:

   AUC TeX 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, AUC TeX will query before saving each
file.  By default AUC TeX 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'.

 - User Option: TeX-check-path
     Directory path to search for dependencies.

     If nil, just check the current file.  Used when checking if any
     files have changed.


File: auctex.info,  Node: Debugging,  Next: Checking,  Prev: Commands,  Up: Formatting

Catching the errors
===================

Once you've formatted your document you may `debug' it, i.e. browse
through the errors (La)TeX reported.

 - Command: TeX-next-error
     (`C-c `')  Go to the next error reported by TeX.  The view will be
     split in two, with the cursor placed as close as possible to the
     error in the top view.  In the bottom view, the error message will
     be displayed along with some explanatory text.

   Normally AUC TeX will only report real errors, but you may as well
ask it to report `bad boxes' as well.

 - Command: TeX-toggle-debug-bad-boxes
     (`C-c C-w')  Toggle whether AUC TeX should stop at bad boxes (i.e.
     over/under full boxes) as well as at normal errors.

   As default, AUC TeX will display that special `*help*' buffer
containing the error reported by TeX along with the documentation.
There is however an `expert' option, which allows you to display the
real TeX output.

 - User Option: TeX-display-help
     When non-nil AUC TeX will automatically display a help text
     whenever an error is encountered using `TeX-next-error' (`C-c `').


File: auctex.info,  Node: Checking,  Next: Control,  Prev: Debugging,  Up: Formatting

Checking for problems
=====================

Running TeX or LaTeX will only find regular errors in the document, not
examples of bad style.  Furthermore, description of the errors may
often be confusing.  The utility `lacheck' can be used to find style
errors, such as forgetting to escape the space after an abbreviation or
using `...' instead of `\ldots' and many other problems like that.  You
start `lacheck' with `C-c C-c C h e c k <RET>'.  The result will be a
list of errors in the `*compilation*' buffer.  You can go through the
errors with `C-x `' (`next-error', *note Compilation:
(emacs)Compilation.), which will move point to the location of the next
error.

   Another newer program which can be used to find errors is `chktex'.
It is much more configurable than `lacheck', but doesn't find all the
problems `lacheck' does, at least in its default configuration.  You
must install the programs before using them, and for `chktex' you must
also modify `TeX-command-list'.  You can get `lacheck' from
`<URL:ftp://sunsite.auc.dk/pub/text/lacheck/>' or alternatively
`chktex' from `<URL:ftp://ftp.dante.de/pub/tex/support/chktex/>'.
Search for `chktex' in `tex.el' to see how to switch between them. They

Controlling the output
======================

A number of commands are available for controlling the output of an
application running under AUC TeX

 - Command: TeX-kill-job
     (`C-c C-k')  Kill currently running external application.  This
     may be either of TeX, LaTeX, previewer BibTeX etc.

 - Command: TeX-recenter-output-buffer
     (`C-c C-l')  Recenter the output buffer so that the bottom line is
     visible.

 - Command: TeX-home-buffer
     (`C-c ^') Go to the `master' file in the document associated with
     the current buffer, or if already there, to the file where the
     current process was started.

Multifile Documents
*******************

You may wish spread a document over many files (as you are likely to do
if there are multiple authors, or if you have not yet discovered the
power of the outline commands (*note Outline::)).  This can be done by
having a "master" file in which you include the various files with the
TeX macro `\input' or the LaTeX macro `\include'.  These files may also
include other files themselves.  However, to format the document you
must run the commands on the top level master file.

   When you, for example, ask AUC TeX to run a command on the master
file, it has no way of knowing the name of the master file.  By default,
it will assume that the current file is the master file.  If you insert
the following in your `.emacs' file AUC TeX will use a more advanced
algorithm.

     (setq-default TeX-master nil) ; Query for master file.

   If AUC TeX finds the line indicating the end of the header in a
master file (`TeX-header-end'), it can figure out for itself that this
is a master file.  Otherwise, it will ask for the name of the master
file associated with the buffer.  To avoid asking you again, AUC TeX
will automatically insert the name of the master file as a file
variable (*note File Variables: (emacs)File Variables.).  You can also
insert the file variable yourself, by putting the following text at the
end of your files.

     % Local Variables:
     % TeX-master: "master"
     % End:

   You should always set this variable to the name of the top level
document.  If you always use the same name for your top level
documents, you can set `TeX-master' in your `.emacs' file.

     (setq-default TeX-master "master") ; All master files called "master".

 - User Option: TeX-master
     The master file associated with the current buffer.  If the file
     being edited is actually included from another file, then you can
     tell AUC TeX the name of the master file by setting this variable.
     If there are multiple levels of nesting, specify the top level
     file.

     If this variable is `nil', AUC TeX will query you for the name.

     If the variable is `t', then AUC TeX will assume the file is a
     master file itself.

     If the variable is `shared', then AUC TeX will query for the name,
     but will not change the file.

     It is suggested that you use the File Variables (*note File
     Variables: (emacs)File Variables.) to set this variable permanently
     for each file.

 - User Option: TeX-one-master
     Regular expression matching ordinary TeX files.

     You should set this variable to match the name of all files, for
     which it is a good idea to append a `TeX-master' file variable
     entry automatically.  When AUC TeX adds the name of the master
     file as a file variable, it does not need to ask next time you
     edit the file.

     If you dislike AUC TeX automatically modifying your files, you can
     set this variable to `"<none>"'.  By default, AUC TeX will modify
     any file with an extension of `.tex'.

   AUC TeX keeps track of macros, environments, labels, and style files
that are used in a given document.  For this to work with multifile
documents, AUC TeX has to have a place to put the information about the
files in the document.  This is done by having an `auto' subdirectory
placed in the directory where your document is located.  Each time you
save a file, AUC TeX will write information about the file into the
`auto' directory.  When you load a file, AUC TeX will read the
information in the `auto' directory about the file you loaded _and the
master file specified by `TeX-master'_.  Since the master file (perhaps
indirectly) includes all other files in the document, AUC TeX will get
information from all files in the document.  This means that you will
get from each file, for example, completion for all labels defined
anywhere in the document.

   AUC TeX will create the `auto' directory automatically if
`TeX-auto-save' is non-nil.  Without it, the files in the document will
not know anything about each other, except for the name of the master
file.  *Note Automatic Local::.

 - Command: TeX-save-document
     (`C-c C-d') Save all buffers known to belong to the current
     document.

 - User Option: TeX-save-query
     If non-nil, then query the user before saving each file with
     `TeX-save-document'.


File: auctex.info,  Node: Parsing Files,  Next: I18n,  Prev: Multifile,  Up: Top

Automatic Parsing of TeX files.
*******************************

AUC TeX depends heavily on being able to extract information from the
buffers by parsing them.  Since parsing the buffer can be somewhat slow,
the parsing is initially disabled.  You are encouraged to enable them by
adding the following lines to your `.emacs' file.

     (setq TeX-parse-self t) ; Enable parse on load.
     (setq TeX-auto-save t) ; Enable parse on save.

   The later command will make AUC TeX store the parsed information in
an `auto' subdirectory in the directory each time the TeX files are
stored, *note Automatic Local::.  If AUC TeX finds the pre-parsed
information when loading a file, it will not need to reparse the buffer.
The information in the `auto' directory is also useful for multifile
documents *note Multifile::, since it allows each file to access the
parsed information from all the other files in the document.  This is
done by first reading the information from the master file, and then
recursively the information from each file stored in the master file.

   The variables can also be done on a per file basis, by changing the
file local variables.

     % Local Variables:
     % TeX-parse-self: t
     % TeX-auto-save: t
     % End:

   Even when you have disabled the automatic parsing, you can force the
generation of style information by pressing `C-c C-n'.  This is often
the best choice, as you will be able to decide when it is necessary to
reparse the file.

 - User Option: TeX-parse-self
     Parse file after loading it if no style hook is found for it.

 - User Option: TeX-auto-save
     Automatically save style information when saving the buffer.

 - Command: TeX-normal-mode ARG
     (`C-c C-n') Remove all information about this buffer, and apply the
     style hooks again.  Save buffer first including style information.
     With optional argument, also reload the style hooks.

   When AUC TeX saves your buffer, it will by default convert all tabs
in your buffer into spaces.  To disable this behaviour, insert the
following in your `.emacs' file.

     (setq TeX-auto-untabify nil)

 - User Option: TeX-auto-untabify
     Automatically remove all tabs from a file before saving it.

   Instead of disabling the parsing entirely, you can also speed it
significantly up by limiting the information it will search for (and
store) when parsing the buffer.  You can do this by setting the default
values for the buffer local variables `TeX-auto-regexp-list' and
`TeX-auto-parse-length' in your `.emacs' file.

     ;; Only parse \documentstyle information.
     (setq-default TeX-auto-regexp-list 'LaTeX-auto-minimal-regexp-list)
     ;; The documentstyle command is usually near the beginning.
     (setq-default TeX-auto-parse-length 2000)

   This example will speed the parsing up significantly, but AUC TeX
will no longer be able to provide completion for labels, macros,
environments, or bibitems specified in the document, nor will it know
what files belong to the document.

   These variables can also be specified on a per file basis, by
changing the file local variables.

     % Local Variables:
     % TeX-auto-regexp-list: TeX-auto-full-regexp-list
     % TeX-auto-parse-length: 999999
     % End:

 - User Option: TeX-auto-regexp-list
     List of regular expressions used for parsing the current file.

 - User Option: TeX-auto-parse-length
     Maximal length of TeX file that will be parsed.

   The pre-specified lists of regexps are defined below.  You can use
these before loading AUC TeX by quoting them, as in the example above.

 - Constant: TeX-auto-empty-regexp-list
     Parse nothing

 - Constant: LaTeX-auto-minimal-regexp-list
     Only parse documentstyle.

 - Constant: LaTeX-auto-label-regexp-list
     Only parse LaTeX labels.

 - Constant: LaTeX-auto-regexp-list
     Parse common LaTeX commands.

 - Constant: plain-TeX-auto-regexp-list
     Parse common plain TeX commands.

 - Constant: TeX-auto-full-regexp-list
     Parse all TeX and LaTeX commands that AUC TeX can use.

Internationalization
********************

There are several problems associated with editing non-English TeX with
GNU Emacs.  Modern versions of GNU Emacs and TeX are usable for
European (Latin, Cyrillic, Greek) based languages, but special versions
of TeX and Emacs are needed for Korean, Japanese, and Chinese.

Using AUC TeX for European languages.
=====================================

First you will need a way to write non-ASCII characters.  You can either
use macros, or teach TeX about the ISO character sets.  I prefer the
later, it has the advantage that the usual the standard emacs word
movement and case change commands will work.

   With LaTeX2e, just add `\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}'.  With older
LaTeX versions, try:

`isolatin1.sty'
     Support for ISO 8859 Latin 1.  Available by ftp from the host
     ftp.uni-stuttgart.de as
     `/pub/tex/macros/latex/contrib/misc/isolatin1.sty'.

`latin2.sty'
     Support for ISO 8859 Latin 2.  Available by ftp from the host
     ftp.uni-stuttgart.de as `/pub/tex/macros/latex/contrib/latin2.sty'.

   To be able to display non-ASCII characters you will need an
appropriate font and a version of GNU Emacs capable of displaying 8-bit
characters.  I believe all emacs versions except plain Emacs 18 are
capable of this.  For GNU Emacs 19, *note European Display:
(emacs)European Display..  Other relevant packages are:

`remap'
     Supports lots of different 7-bit and 8-bit character sets for GNU
     Emacs 19.  Mostly useful if you have seldomly used character sets,
     or need to use different character set for keyboard, buffer, and
     display.  An overkill if you just need ISO 8859 Latin 1.
     Currently in alpha test, but available by ftp from the host
     ftp.iesd.auc.dk in `/packages/auctex/'.

     To get dead keys for TeX, install remap and insert the following in
     your `.emacs' or `site-start.el' file.

          (require 'remap)
          
          (defvar all-dead-keys "~'`^"
            "Dead keys used by remap")
          
          (remap-define-map "Dead Key"
            (apply 'append (mapcar 'remap-dead-map all-dead-keys)))
          
          (remap-define-map "TeX Dead Key"
            (remap-map "Dead Key" (remap-add "Ascii" "~TeX")))
          
          (setq remap-setup-alist
                '(("7-bit"  "Raw"          "L1" "US" "Ctrl" "~TeX")
                  ("8-bit"  "Raw"          "L1" "L1" "Ctrl" "Raw")
                  ("Dead/7" "Dead Key"     "L1" "US" "Ctrl" "~TeX")
                  ("Dead/8" "Dead Key"     "L1" "L1" "Ctrl" "Raw")
                  ("TeX"    "TeX Dead Key" "L1" "US" "Ctrl" "Raw")))

     You can now enable TeX dead keys with
          M-x remap-setup-choose RET TeX RET

   A compromise is to use use an European character set when editing the
file, and convert to TeX macros when reading and writing the files.

`iso-tex.el'
     This file automatically converts between ISO 8859 Latin 1 encoding
     and LaTeX encodings of West European characters.  It is available
     by ftp from aida.intellektik.informatik.th-darmstadt.de in the
     directory `/pub/gene/Emacs'.

`iso-cvt.el'
     Much like `iso-tex.el' but is bundled with Emacs 19.23 and later.

`x-compose.el'
     Similar package bundled with new versions of XEmacs.


   AUC TeX supports style files for several languages.  Each style file
may modify some AUC TeX to better support the language, and will run a
language specific hook that will allow you to for example change ispell
dictionary, or run code to change the keyboard remapping.  The
following will for example choose a Danish dictionary for documents
including the `dk.sty' file.  This requires parsing to be enabled,
*note Parsing Files::.

     (add-hook 'TeX-language-dk-hook
               (function (lambda () (ispell-change-dictionary "danish"))))

   The following style files are recognized.
`dk'
     Runs style hook `TeX-language-dk-hook'.

`dutch'
     Runs style hook `TeX-language-nl-hook'.

`german'
     Runs style hook `TeX-language-de-hook'.  Gives  `"' word syntax
     and makes the <"> key insert a literal `"'.

`plfonts'
`plhb'
     Runs style hook `TeX-language-pl-hook'.  Gives  `"' word syntax
     and makes the <"> key insert a literal `"'.  Pressing <"> twice
     will insert `"<' or `">' depending on context.

Japanese TeX
============

To write Japanese text with AUC TeX you need to have versions of TeX
and Emacs that support Japanese.  There exist at least two variants of
TeX for Japanese text, and AUC TeX can be used with both, as well as
with the two Japanese-aware Emacses, NEMACS and MULE.

   To use the Japanese TeX variants, simply enter `japanese-tex-mode',
`japanese-latex-mode', or `japanese-slitex-mode', and everything should
work.  If not, send mail to Shinji Kobayashi
(`<koba@flab.fujitsu.co.jp>', who kindly donated the code for
supporting Japanese in AUC TeX.  None of the primary AUC TeX
maintainers understand Japanese, so they can not help you.

Automatic Customization
***********************

Since AUC TeX is so highly customizable, it makes sense that it is able
to customize itself.  The automatic customization consists of scanning
TeX files and extracting symbols, environments, and things like that.

   The automatic customization is done on three different levels.  The
global level is the level shared by all users at your site, and consists
of scanning the standard TeX style files, and any extra styles added
locally for all users on the site.  The private level deals with those
style files you have written for your own use, and use in different
documents.  You may have a `~/lib/TeX/' directory where you store
useful style files for your own use.  The local level is for a specific
directory, and deals with writing customization for the files for your
normal TeX documents.

   If compared with the environment variable `TEXINPUTS', the global
level corresponds to the directories built into TeX.  The private level
corresponds to the directories you add yourself, except for `.', which
is the local level.

* Menu:

* Automatic Global::            Automatic Customization for the Site
* Automatic Private::           Automatic Customization for a User
* Automatic Local::             Automatic Customization for a Directory

   By default AUC TeX will search for customization files in all the
global, private, and local style directories, but you can also set the
path directly.  This is useful if you for example want to add another
person's style hooks to your path.  Please note that all matching files
found in `TeX-style-path' are loaded, and all hooks defined in the
files will be executed.

 - User Option: TeX-style-path
     List of directories to search for AUC TeX style files.  Each must
     end with a slash.

   By default, when AUC TeX searches a directory for files, it will
recursively search through subdirectories.

 - User Option: TeX-file-recurse
     If not nil, search TeX directories recursively.

   By default, AUC TeX will ignore files name `.', `..', `SCCS', `RCS',
and `CVS'.

 - User Option: TeX-ignore-file
     Regular expression matching file names to ignore.

     These files or directories will not be considered when searching
     for TeX files in a directory.

Automatic Customization for the Site
====================================

Assuming that the automatic customization at the global level was done
when AUC TeX was installed, your choice is now: will you use it?  If
you use it, you will benefit by having access to all the symbols and
environments available for completion purposes.  The drawback is slower
load time when you edit a new file and perhaps too many confusing
symbols when you try to do a completion.

   You can disable the automatic generated global style hooks by setting
the variable `TeX-auto-global' to nil.

 - User Option: TeX-macro-global
     Directories containing the site's TeX style files.

 - User Option: TeX-style-global
     Directory containing hand generated TeX information.  Must end
     with a slash.

     These correspond to TeX macros shared by all users of a site.

 - User Option: TeX-auto-global
     Directory containing automatically generated information.

     For storing automatic extracted information about the TeX macros
     shared by all users of a site.


File: auctex.info,  Node: Automatic Private,  Next: Automatic Local,  Prev: Automatic Global,  Up: Automatic

Automatic Customization for a User
==================================

You should specify where you store your private TeX macros, so AUC TeX
can extract their information.  The extracted information will go to
the directories listed in `TeX-auto-private'

   Use `M-x TeX-auto-generate' to extract the information.

 - User Option: TeX-macro-private
     Directories where you store your personal TeX macros.  Each must
     end with a slash.

     This defaults to the directories listed in the `TEXINPUTS' and
     `BIBINPUTS' environment variables.

 - User Option: TeX-auto-private
     List of directories containing automatically generated information.
     Must end with a slash.

     These correspond to the personal TeX macros.

 - Command: TeX-auto-generate TEX AUTO
     (`M-x TeX-auto-generate') Generate style hook for TEX and store it
     in AUTO.  If TEX is a directory, generate style hooks for all
     files in the directory.

 - User Option: TeX-style-private
     List of directories containing hand generated information.  Must
     end with a slash.

     These correspond to the personal TeX macros.


File: auctex.info,  Node: Automatic Local,  Prev: Automatic Private,  Up: Automatic

Automatic Customization for a Directory
=======================================

AUC TeX can update the style information about a file each time you
save it, and it will do this if the directory `TeX-auto-local' exist.
`TeX-auto-local' is by default set to `"auto/"', so simply creating an
`auto' directory will enable automatic saving of style information.

   The advantage of doing this is that macros, labels, etc. defined in
any file in a multifile document will be known in all the files in the
document.  The disadvantage is that saving will be slower.  To disable,
set `TeX-auto-local' to nil.

 - User Option: TeX-style-local
     Directory containing hand generated TeX information.  Must end
     with a slash.

     These correspond to TeX macros found in the current directory.

 - User Option: TeX-auto-local
     Directory containing automatically generated TeX information.
     Must end with a slash.

     These correspond to TeX macros found in the current directory.

A Simple Style File
===================

Here is a simple example of a style file.

     ;;; book.el - Special code for book style.
     
     (TeX-add-style-hook "book"
      (function (lambda () (setq LaTeX-largest-level
                                 (LaTeX-section-level ("chapter"))))))

   This file specifies that the largest kind of section in a LaTeX
document using the book document style is chapter.  The interesting
thing to notice is that the style file defines an (anonymous) function,
and adds it to the list of loaded style hooks by calling
`TeX-add-style-hook'.

   The first time the user indirectly tries to access some style
specific information, such as the largest sectioning command available,
the style hooks for all files directly or indirectly read by the
current document is executed.  The actual files will only be evaluated
once, but the hooks will be called for each buffer using the style file.

 - Function: TeX-add-style-hook STYLE HOOK
     Add HOOK to the list of functions to run when we use the TeX file
     STYLE.


File: auctex.info,  Node: Adding Macros,  Next: Adding Environments,  Prev: Simple Style,  Up: Style Files

Adding Support for Macros
=========================

The most common thing to define in a style hook is new symbols (TeX
macros).  Most likely along with a description of the arguments to the
function, since the symbol itself can be defined automatically.

   Here are a few examples from `latex.el'.

     (TeX-add-style-hook "latex"
      (function
       (lambda ()
          (TeX-add-symbols
          '("arabic" TeX-arg-counter)
          '("label" TeX-arg-define-label)
          '("ref" TeX-arg-label)
          '("newcommand" TeX-arg-define-macro [ "Number of arguments" ] t)
          '("newtheorem" TeX-arg-define-environment
            [ TeX-arg-environment "Numbered like" ]
            t [ TeX-arg-counter "Within counter" ])))))

 - Function: TeX-add-symbols SYMBOL ...
     Add each SYMBOL to the list of known symbols.

   Each argument to `TeX-add-symbols' is a list describing one symbol.
The head of the list is the name of the symbol, the remaining elements
describe each argument.

   If there are no additional elements, the symbol will be inserted with
point inside braces.  Otherwise, each argument of this function should
match an argument of the TeX macro.  What is done depends on the
argument type.

   If a macro is defined multiple times, AUC TeX will chose the one with
the longest definition (i.e. the one with the most arguments).

   Thus, to overwrite
             '("tref" 1) ; one argument
   you can specify
             '("tref" TeX-arg-label ignore) ; two arguments

   `ignore' is a function that does not do anything, so when you insert
a `tref' you will be prompted for a label and no more.

`string'
     Use the string as a prompt to prompt for the argument.

`number'
     Insert that many braces, leave point inside the first.

`nil'
     Insert empty braces.

`t'
     Insert empty braces, leave point between the braces.

`other symbols'
     Call the symbol as a function.  You can define your own hook, or
     use one of the predefined argument hooks.

`list'
     If the car is a string, insert it as a prompt and the next element
     as initial input.  Otherwise, call the car of the list with the
     remaining elements as arguments.

`vector'
     Optional argument.  If it has more than one element, parse it as a
     list, otherwise parse the only element as above.  Use square
     brackets instead of curly braces, and is not inserted on empty user
     input.

   A lot of argument hooks have already been defined.  The first
argument to all hooks is a flag indicating if it is an optional
argument.  It is up to the hook to determine what to do with the
remaining arguments, if any.  Typically the next argument is used to
overwrite the default prompt.

`TeX-arg-conditional'
     Implements if EXPR THEN ELSE.  If EXPR evaluates to true, parse
     THEN as an argument list, else parse ELSE as an argument list.

`TeX-arg-literal'
     Insert its arguments into the buffer.  Used for specifying extra
     syntax for a macro.

`TeX-arg-free'
     Parse its arguments but use no braces when they are inserted.

`TeX-arg-eval'
     Evaluate arguments and insert the result in the buffer.

`TeX-arg-file'
     Prompt for a tex or sty filename, and use it without the
     extension. Run the file hooks defined for it.

`TeX-arg-label'
     Prompt for a label completing with known labels.

`TeX-arg-macro'
     Prompt for a TeX macro with completion.

`TeX-arg-environment'
     Prompt for a LaTeX environment with completion.

`TeX-arg-cite'
     Prompt for a BibTeX citation.

`TeX-arg-counter'
     Prompt for a LaTeX counter.

`TeX-arg-savebox'
     Prompt for a LaTeX savebox.

`TeX-arg-file'
     Prompt for a filename in the current directory, and use it without
     the extension.

`TeX-arg-input-file'
     Prompt for a filename in the current directory, and use it without
     the extension.  Run the style hooks for the file.

`TeX-arg-define-label'
     Prompt for a label completing with known labels.  Add label to
     list of defined labels.

`TeX-arg-define-macro'
     Prompt for a TeX macro with completion.  Add macro to list of
     defined macros.

`TeX-arg-define-environment'
     Prompt for a LaTeX environment with completion.  Add environment to
     list of defined environments.

`TeX-arg-define-cite'
     Prompt for a BibTeX citation.

`TeX-arg-define-counter'
     Prompt for a LaTeX counter.

`TeX-arg-define-savebox'
     Prompt for a LaTeX savebox.

`TeX-arg-corner'
     Prompt for a LaTeX side or corner position with completion.

`TeX-arg-lr'
     Prompt for a LaTeX side with completion.

`TeX-arg-tb'
     Prompt for a LaTeX side with completion.

`TeX-arg-pagestyle'
     Prompt for a LaTeX pagestyle with completion.

`TeX-arg-verb'
     Prompt for delimiter and text.

`TeX-arg-pair'
     Insert a pair of numbers, use arguments for prompt. The numbers are
     surrounded by parentheses and separated with a comma.

`TeX-arg-size'
     Insert width and height as a pair.  No arguments.

`TeX-arg-coordinate'
     Insert x and y coordinates as a pair.  No arguments.

   If you add new hooks, you can assume that point is placed directly
after the previous argument, or after the macro name if this is the
first argument.  Please leave point located after the argument you are
inserting.  If you want point to be located somewhere else after all
hooks have been processed, set the value of `exit-mark'.  It will point
nowhere, until the argument hook sets it.


File: auctex.info,  Node: Adding Environments,  Next: Adding Other,  Prev: Adding Macros,  Up: Style Files

Adding Support for Environments
===============================

Adding support for environments is very much like adding support for
TeX macros, except that each environment normally only takes one
argument, an environment hook.  The example is again a short version of
`latex.el'.

     (TeX-add-style-hook "latex"
      (function
       (lambda ()
         (LaTeX-add-environments
          '("document" LaTeX-env-document)
          '("enumerate" LaTeX-env-item)
          '("itemize" LaTeX-env-item)
          '("list" LaTeX-env-list)))))

   The only hook that is generally useful is `LaTeX-env-item', which is
used for environments that contain items.  It is completely up to the
environment hook to insert the environment, but the function
`LaTeX-insert-environment' may be of some help.  The hook will be
called with the name of the environment as its first argument, and extra
arguments can be provided by adding them to a list after the hook.

   For simple environments with arguments, for example defined with
`\newenvironment', you can make AUC TeX prompt for the arguments by
giving the prompt strings in the call to `LaTeX-add-environments'.  For
example, if you have defined a `loop' environment with the three
arguments FROM, TO, and STEP, you can add support for them in a style
file.

     %% loop.sty
     
     \newenvironment{loop}[3]{...}{...}

     ;; loop.el
     
     (TeX-add-style-hook "loop"
      (function
       (lambda ()
         (LaTeX-add-environments
          '("loop" "From" "To" "Step")))))

   If an environment is defined multiple times, AUC TeX will chose the
one with the longest definition.  Thus, if you have an enumerate style
file, and want it to replace the standard LaTeX enumerate hook above,
you could define an `enumerate.el' file as follows, and place it in the
appropriate style directory.

     (TeX-add-style-hook "latex"
      (function
       (lambda ()
         (LaTeX-add-environments
          '("enumerate" LaTeX-env-enumerate foo)))))
     
     (defun LaTeX-env-enumerate (environment &optional ignore) ...)

   The symbol `foo' will be passed to `LaTeX-env-enumerate' as the
second argument, but since we only added it to overwrite the definition
in `latex.el' it is just ignored.

 - Function: LaTeX-add-environments ENV ...
     Add each ENV to list of loaded environments.

 - Function: LaTeX-insert-environment ENV [ EXTRA ]
     Insert environment of type ENV, with optional argument EXTRA.


File: auctex.info,  Node: Adding Other,  Next: Hacking the Parser,  Prev: Adding Environments,  Up: Style Files

Adding Other Information
========================

You can also specify bibliographical databases and labels in the style
file.  This is probably of little use, since this information will
usually be automatically generated from the TeX file anyway.

 - Function: LaTeX-add-bibliographies BIBLIOGRAPHY ...
     Add each BIBLIOGRAPHY to list of loaded bibliographies.

 - Function: LaTeX-add-labels LABEL ...
     Add each LABEL to the list of known labels.


File: auctex.info,  Node: Hacking the Parser,  Prev: Adding Other,  Up: Style Files

Automatic Extraction of New Things
==================================

The automatic TeX information extractor works by searching for regular
expressions in the TeX files, and storing the matched information.  You
can add support for new constructs to the parser, something that is
needed when you add new commands to define symbols.

   For example, in the file `macro.tex' I define the following macro.

     \newcommand{\newmacro}[5]{%
     \def#1{#3\index{#4@#5~cite{#4}}\nocite{#4}}%
     \def#2{#5\index{#4@#5~cite{#4}}\nocite{#4}}%
     }

   AUC TeX will automatically figure out that `newmacro' is a macro
that takes five arguments.  However, it is not smart enough to
automatically see that each time we use the macro, two new macros are
defined.  We can specify this information in a style hook file.

     ;;; macro.el - Special code for my own macro file.
     
     ;;; Code:
     
     (defvar TeX-newmacro-regexp
       '("\\\\newmacro{\\\\\\([a-zA-Z]+\\)}{\\\\\\([a-zA-Z]+\\)}"
         (1 2) TeX-auto-multi)
       "Matches \newmacro definitions.")
     
     (defvar TeX-auto-multi nil
       "Temporary for parsing \\newmacro definitions.")
     
     (defun TeX-macro-cleanup ()
       ;; Move symbols from `TeX-auto-multi' to `TeX-auto-symbol'.
       (mapcar (function (lambda (list)
                 (mapcar (function (lambda (symbol)
                           (setq TeX-auto-symbol
                                 (cons symbol TeX-auto-symbol))))

       ;; Clear `Tex-auto-multi' before use.

                            TeX-arg-macro

                            "BibTeX entry: "
                            nil)))))
     
     ;;; macro.el ends here

   When this file is first loaded, it adds a new entry to
`TeX-newmacro-regexp', and defines a function to be called before the
parsing starts, and one to be called after the parsing is done.  It
also declares a variable to contain the data collected during parsing.
Finally, it adds a style hook which describes the `newmacro' macro, as
we have seen it before.

   So the general strategy is: Add a new entry to `TeX-newmacro-regexp'.
Declare a variable to contain intermediate data during parsing.  Add
hook to be called before and after parsing.  In this case, the hook
before parsing just initializes the variable, and the hook after parsing
collects the data from the variable, and adds them to the list of
symbols found.

 - Variable: TeX-auto-regexp-list
     List of regular expressions matching TeX macro definitions.

     The list has the following format ((REGEXP MATCH TABLE) ...), that
     is, each entry is a list with three elements.

     REGEXP.  Regular expression matching the macro we want to parse.

     MATCH.  A number or list of numbers, each representing one
     parenthesized subexpression matched by REGEXP.

     TABLE.  The symbol table to store the data.  This can be a
     function, in which case the function is called with the argument
     MATCH.  Use `TeX-match-buffer' to get match data.  If it is not a
     function, it is presumed to be the name of a variable containing a
     list of match data.  The matched data (a string if MATCH is a
     number, a list of strings if MATCH is a list of numbers) is put in
     front of the table.

 - Variable: TeX-auto-prepare-hook nil
     List of functions to be called before parsing a TeX file.

 - Variable: TeX-auto-cleanup-hook nil
     List of functions to be called after parsing a TeX file.

Installation of AUC TeX
***********************

Compiling
=========

The following describes how to install AUC TeX under Unix.  You may
also be able to do use these instructions under some other operating
systems, if you have already installed the proper GNU tools, such as
`make'.

   To install AUC TeX for an entire site (which may just be your own
personal Linux box), issue the following two commands as root:

     make
     make lispdir=/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp install

   except that instead of /usr/local/... you should use the location of
your sites emacs installation.  AUC TeX will then be installed in a
subdirectory named `auctex' of the `site-lisp' directory, and the file
`tex-site.el' will be stored directly in the `site-lisp'.  You can now
tell your users to enable AUC TeX by adding

     (require 'tex-site)

   to their `.emacs' file.

   If you use xemacs instead, or if your emacs binary is named something
else than `emacs', specify this by using the commands

     make EMACS=xemacs
     make lispdir=/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp install

   to install.

   If you want to install AUC TeX in your personal account, you should
chose a directory for all your emacs add-ons, for example an `elisp'
subdirectory in your home directory.  You can then install AUC TeX with
the commands

     make
     make lispdir=$HOME/elisp install

   You will then need to add the following lines to your `.emacs' file:

     (setq load-path (cons "~/elisp" load-path))
     (require 'tex-site)

Customizing
===========

Next, you should edit the file `tex-site.el' to fit your local site.
You do this by looking at the customization section in the beginning of
`tex.el' and copy the definitions that are wrong for your site to
`tex-site.el'.  Do _not_ edit `tex.el' directly, or you will have to do
all the work over again when you upgrade AUC TeX.  AUC TeX will not
overwrite your old `tex-site.el' file next time you install, so you
will be able to keep all your customizations.

   There are two variables with a special significance.

 - User Option: TeX-lisp-directory
     The directory where you want to install the AUC TeX lisp files.

   This variable is set automatically by the `make install' command.
If you don't issue a `make install', for example if you don't want to
install AUC TeX in a different place, you will have to set this
variable manually to the location of the compiled files.

 - User Option: TeX-macro-global
     Directories containing the site's TeX style files.

   Normally, AUC TeX will only allow you to complete a short list of
build-in macros and environments and on the macros you define yourself.
If you issue the `M-x TeX-auto-generate-global' command after loading
AUC TeX, you will be able to complete on all macros available in the
standard style files used by your document.  To do this, you must set
this variable to a list of directories where the standard style files
are located.  The directories will be searched recursively, so there is
no reason to list subsirectories explicitly.

   You probably also need to change `TeX-command-list' to make sure
that the commands used for starting TeX, printing, etc. work on your
system.  Copy the definition from `tex.el' to `tex-site.el' and edit
the command names appropriately.

   Finally, copy and edit `TeX-printer-list' to contain the printers
available at your site.

   To extract information from your sites TeX macros, type `M-x
TeX-auto-generate-global' in your emacs.  This will only work if you
have set `TeX-macro-global' correctly in `tex-site.el'.

Contributed files
=================

There are several files that are not part of AUC TeX proper, but
included in the distribution in case they are useful.

`hilit-LaTeX.el'
     Better highlighting for the obsolete `hilit19' package.

`font-latex.el'
     Better highlighting for the FONT-LOCK package.

`bib-cite.el'
     Better support for bibliographies and much more.

`tex-jp.el'
     Support for Japanese.

`func-doc.el'
     Support for context sensitive online help for various languages.


   Read the comments in the start of each file for more information
about how to install, what they do, and who wrote and maintains them.

Wishlist
********

This is a list of projects for AUC TeX.  Bug reports and requests we
can not fix or honor right away will be added to this list.  If you have
some time for emacs lisp hacking, you are encouraged to try to provide a
solution to one of the following problems.  It might be a good idea to
mail me first, though.

   *  Filling messes up comments, but only at the end of the file.
     Reported by uergen Reiss <psy3022@rzbox.uni-wuerzburg.de>.

   * `C-c C-q C-e' doesn't work properly on nested itemize environments.
     Reported by  "Robert B. Love"  <rlove@raptor.rmNUG.ORG>.

   * One suggestion for AUC-TeX: I think that the font command C-c C-f
     C-r, which produces \textrm{} in a LaTeX file, should instead
     produce either \textrm{} or \mathrm{}, depending on whether one is
     in math mode or not. -- John Palmieri <palmieri@math.mit.edu>

   * A way to add and overwrite math mode entries in style files, and to
     decide where they should be.  Suggested by Remo Badii
     <Remo.Badii@psi.ch>.

   * Create template for (first) line of tabular environment.

   * I think prompting for the master is the intended behaviour.  It
     corresponds to a `shared' value for TeX-master.

     There should probably be a `none' value which wouldn't query for
     the master, but instead disable all features that relies on
     TeX-master.

     This default value for TeX-master could then be controled with
     mapping based on the extension.

   * `C-c '' should alway stay in the current window, also when it find
     a new file.

   * `LaTeX-fill-environment' does not indent the closing `\end'.

   * Rewrite `ltx-help.el' and put it in `latex.el'.  Fix also:
          From: Denby Wong <DnB@slip224.qlink.QueensU.CA>
          
           1) change documentation regarding where to get the
              latest version (at CTAN at pip.shsu.edu for me)
              under info/latex2e-help-texinfo/
          
           2) change or provide choice over which version to
              use.  There are three references to the info
              node "(latex)" in the file which should be
              "(latex2e)"  for the new file.
          
          From: Piet van Oostrum <piet@cs.ruu.nl>
          
          One of the annoying things of latex-help is that if you ask for \LARGE, you
          get \large if you have case-fold-search=t. This is really info's problem as
          it doesn't reset it for a search of the node, but it would be easy to stick
          a (let (case-fold-search) in latex-help.

   * It should be possible to insert a default preamble containing e.g.
     `usepackage' declarations, perhaps depending on the document class.

   * Multiple argument completion for `\bibliography'.  In general, I
     ought to make `,' special for these kind of completions.

   * Do not overwrite emacs warnings about existing auto-save files when
     loading a new file.

   * Suggest `makindex' when appropriate.

   * Maybe the regexp for matching a TeX symbol during parsing should be
     `"\\\\\\([a-zA-Z]+\\|.\\)"' --
     `<thiemann@informatik.uni-tuebingen.de>' Peter Thiemann.

   * AUC TeX should be able to parse LaTeX2e `.cls' files.  Here are
     the regexps by `<thiemann@informatik.uni-tuebingen.de>' Peter
     Thiemann.

               ("\\\\DeclareRobustCommand{?\\\\\\([a-zA-Z]+\\)}?\\[\\([0-9]+\\)\\]\
          \\[\\([^\]\\\\\n\r]+\\)\\]"
                (1 2 3) LaTeX-auto-optional)
               ("\\\\DeclareRobustCommand{?\\\\\\([a-zA-Z]+\\)}?\\[\\([0-9]+\\)\\]"
                (1 2) LaTeX-auto-arguments)
               ("\\\\DeclareRobustCommand{?\\\\\\([a-zA-Z]+\\)}?" 1 TeX-auto-symbol)
               ("\\\\DeclareFixedFont{?\\\\\\([a-zA-Z]+\\)}?"
                1 TeX-auto-symbol)
               ("\\\\Declare\\(Text\\|Old\\)FontCommand{?\\\\\\([a-zA-Z]+\\)}?"
                2 TeX-auto-symbol)
               ("\\\\DeclareMath\\(Symbol\\|Delimiter\\|Accent\\|Radical\\){?\\\\\\([a-zA-Z]+\\)}?"
                2 TeX-auto-symbol)
               ;;; it is also valid to declare just a single symbol, e.g. <,
               ;;; with \DeclareMathSymbol but it is not necessary to register that here
               ("\\\\DeclareText\\(Command\\|Symbol\\|Accent\\|Composite\\){?\\\\\\([a-zA-Z]+\\)}?"
                2 TeX-auto-symbol)

   * Use index files (when available) to speed up `C-c C-m include
     <RET>'.

   * Option not to calculate very slow completions like for `C-c C-m
     include <RET>'.

   * AUC TeX should not parse verbatim environments.

   * Font menu should be created from `TeX-font-list'.

   * Installation procedure written purely in emacs lisp.

   * Format LaTeX comment blocks.

   * Included PostScript files should also be counted as part of the
     document.

   * The argument to `\verb' may be broken when filling if it contains a
     space.  This should be fixed or documented.  Suggested by several
     people.

   * The parser should catch warnings about undefined crossreferences.
     Suggested by Richard Hirsch `i3080501@ws.rz.tu-bs.de'.

   * A nice hierarchical by-topic organization of all officially
     documented LaTeX macros, available from the menu bar.

   * Make ``' check for math context in `LaTeX-math-mode'. and simply
     self insert if not in a math context.

   * Make `TeX-insert-dollar' more robust.  Currently it can be fooled
     by `\mbox''es and escaped double dollar for example.

   * LaTeX formatting should skip `verbatim' environments.

   * `TeX-command-default' should be set from the master file, if not
     set locally.  Suggested by Peter Whaite `<peta@cim.mcgill.ca>'.

   * Make AUC TeX work with `crypt++'.  Suggested by Chris Moore
     `<Chris.Moore@src.bae.co.uk>'.

   * Fix bug with `TeX-show-environment' from hidden document
     environment.

   * Function to check if you are in math mode (between two dollar
     signs).  Suggested by Jan Erik Odegard `<odegard@dsp.rice.edu>'

   * The `Spell' command should apply to all files in a document.  Maybe
     it could try to restrict to files that have been modified since
     last spell check?  Suggested by Ravinder Bhumbla
     `<rbhumbla@ucsd.edu>'.

   * Make <.> check for abbreviations and sentences ending with capital
     letters.

   * Use Emacs 19 minibuffer history to choose between previewers, and
     other stuff.  Suggested by John Interrante
     `<interran@uluru.Stanford.EDU>'.

   * Make features.

     A new command `TeX-update' (`C-c C-u') could be used to create an
     up-to-date dvi file by repeatedly running BibTeX, MakeIndex and
     (La)TeX, until an error occurs or we are done.

     An alternative is to have an `Update' command that ensures the
     `dvi' file is up to date.  This could be called before printing and
     previewing.

   * Documentation of variables that can be set in a style hook.

     We need a list of what can safely be done in an ordinary style
     hook.  You can not set a variable that AUC TeX depends on, unless
     AUC TeX knows that it has to run the style hooks first.

     Here is the start of such a list.
    `LaTeX-add-environments'

    `TeX-add-symbols'

    `LaTeX-add-labels'

    `LaTeX-add-bibliographies'

    `LaTeX-largest-level'

   * Correct indentation for tabular, tabbing, table, math, and array
     environments.

   * Optional special indentation after an `\item'.

          \begin{itemize}
          \item blabalaskdfjlas lajf adf
                lkfjl  af jasl lkf jlsdf jlf
          \item f lk jldjf lajflkas flf af
          \end{itemize}

   * Completion for counters and sboxes.

   * Outline should be (better) supported in TeX mode.

     At least, support headers, trailers, as well as TeX-outline-extra.

   * `TeX-header-start' and `TeX-trailer-end'.

     We might want these, just for fun (and outlines)

   * Plain TeX and LaTeX specific header and trailer expressions.

     We should have a way to globally specify the default value of the
     header and trailer regexps.

   * Add support for original `TeX-mode' keybindings.

     A third initialization file (`tex-mode.el') containing an emulator
     of the standard `TeX-mode' would help convince some people to
     change to AUC TeX.

   * Make `TeX-next-error' parse ahead and store the results in a list,
     using markers to remember buffer positions in order to be more
     robust with regard to line numbers and changed files.  This is what
     `next-error' does. (Or did, until Emacs 19).

   * When `LaTeX-environment' is given an argument, change the current
     environment.  Be smart about `\item[]' versus `\item ' and labels
     like `fig:' versus `tab:'.

   * Check out if lightning completion from Ultra TeX is anything for
     us.

   * Finish the TeXinfo mode.  For one thing, many TeXinfo mode
     commands do not accept braces around their arguments.

   * BibTeX mode.

   * Support for AMSLaTeX style files.

   * Hook up the letter environment with `bbdb.el'.

   * Make the letter environment hook produce `documentstyle' too.
