auctex: Summary
1.1 Overview of AUCTeX
======================
AUCTeX is a comprehensive customizable integrated environment for
writing input files for TeX, LaTeX, ConTeXt, Texinfo, and docTeX using
Emacs.
It supports you in the insertion of macros, environments, and
sectioning commands by providing completion alternatives and prompting
for parameters. It automatically indents your text as you type it and
lets you format a whole file at once. The outlining and folding
facilities provide you with a focused and clean view of your text.
AUCTeX 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.
More detailed information about the features and usage of AUCTeX can
be found in the remainder of this manual.
AUCTeX is written entirely in Emacs Lisp, and hence you can easily
add new features for your own needs. It is a GNU project and
distributed under the 'GNU General Public License Version 3'.
