$Id: README,v 5.19 1992/09/16 12:14:15 amanda Exp $ AUC TeX ======= AUC TeX is an Emacs lisp mode for editing TeX and LaTeX documents. ********** NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS ********** Version 6.1: TeX-region might work now (heard that before?). Many people reported this one. Especially thanks to Fran Burstall (F.E.Burstall@maths.bath.ac.uk) and Bill Schworm (bill@schworm.econ.ubc.ca). The specification format for the TeX command is more general. See the documentation for LaTeX-command and plain-TeX-command. The specification format for the preview commands is more general, see their respective documentation. The specification format for the print command is more general. See the documentation for TeX-print-command. TeX-args is marked as obsolete. The "Emergency stop ..." error some users of old TeX installations got might be fixed now. Thanks to Philip Sterne (sterne@dublin.llnl.gov). It is now possible to change the preview command without loading TeX-site first. Thanks to Tim Bradshaw (tim.bradshaw@edinburgh.ac.uk). New variable TeX-smart-quotes allow german.sty users (and others) to disable the mapping of double quote (" to `` or ''). Thanks to Daniel Hernandez (danher@informatik.tu-muenchen.de). Many minor corrections to the documentation. Thanks to Mainhard E. Mayer (hardy@golem.ps.uci.edu). Don't query for printer if TeX-printer-name-alist is nil. Thanks to Bill Schworm (bill@schworm.econ.ubc.ca). Make test for HOSTTYPE case insensitive. Thanks to Gisli Ottarsson (gisli@liapunov.eecs.umisc.edu) Set TeX-force-default-mode to avoid AUC TeX's attempts to infer the mode of the file by itself. Version 6: DOCS! Preliminary documentation is avilable in the directory `doc'. It isn't very well written, but I beleve it covers most interesting points. Comments, suggestions, or even rewrites of sections are VERY WELCOME... LaCheck has been incorporated in the package. The source code for it is avilable in the directory `lacheck' along with the documentation for it. Lacheck may also be used from the command line. It is bound to C-c $. Some minor changes in: TeX-region: Should work better with `Master:' option LaTeX-environment: Numerous new hooks added by Masayuki Kuwada (hope I spelled it correctly) TeX-command-on-region: removed. C-c C-o used for outline-minor-mode instead. And some additional minor fixes... ************************************************** You're welcome to direct questions to the current maintainer, whose address is at the bottom of this file.
