| PackageDescription | An integrated environment for editing TeX and friends documents
AUCTeX is a comprehensive customizable integrated environment for writing
input files for TeX/LaTeX/ConTeXt/Texinfo using Emacs.
.
It lets you process your source files by running TeX and related tools (such
as output filters, post processors for generating indices and bibliographies,
and viewers) from inside Emacs. AUCTeX 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.
.
One component of AUCTeX that LaTeX users will find attractive is
preview-latex, a combination of folding and in-source previewing that
provides true "What You See Is What You Get" experience in your sourcebuffer,
while letting you retain full control. preview-latex comes with its own
manual.
.
AUCTeX 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, AUCTeX provides a large range of handy
Emacs macros, which in several different ways can help you write your
documents fast and painlessly.
.
All features of AUCTeX are documented using the GNU Emacs online
documentation system. That is, documentation for any command is just a key
click away!
.
AUCTeX is written entirely in Emacs-Lisp, and hence you can easily add new
features for your own needs. It has become recently a GNU project. AUCTeX
is distributed under the `GNU General Public License Version 2'.
.
Currently XEmacs ships with its own AUCTeX, so this package should only
be used with GNU/Emacs. (I.e., you don't need to install this package if
your site uses only XEmacs.)
