I would like to italicize a word in latex in emacs automatically. Instead of
write \textit{word}, I would like to select the "word" and then write M-x <my
command> and it's added textit around the word. Do I have to create a lisp
function in .emacs? How do I do that?
This is how I do it:
(defun latex-surround-word (before after)
"Add the given prefix and suffix to the word at point."
(or (looking-at "\\<") (search-backward-regexp "\\<"))
(insert before)
(search-forward-regexp "\\>")
(insert after))
(defun latex-ital-word ()
"Set the word at point in italics."
(interactive)
(latex-surround-word "{\\it " "\\/}"))
(define-key latex-mode-map "\C-cfi" 'latex-ital-word)
Put those and similar in a file and load the file as part of the latex mode
hook.
