Auctex: Save, compile and view together

Auctex: Save, compile and view together

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,

How can I customize my Auctex that C-c C-c does not only compile or save 
but does everything needed? Save and compile (if needed) and then view.

TeX-autos-save seems to be something else and I've founded nothing 
Tex-auto-* that could make sense for that.

Thanks,

Florian

After a save a re-compile is always necessary. If not, then you don't  
need AUCTeX for this trivial task.

Does your question imply that you are using a viewer (for PDF or DVI)  
which does not automatically re-load the changed output file?


One of my own AUCTeX compile commands looks, as saved customisation,  
in my init file like this:

	("XeTeXx" "%`xetex -output-driver=xdv2pdf%(mode)%' %t" TeX-run-TeX  
nil (plain-tex-mode context-mode texinfo-mode ams-tex-mode) :help  
"Run XeTeX with xdv2pdf driver")

So it's obviously a possible option to put between the starting ``"%` 
´´ sequence and the final ``%'´´ sequence a command separator or such  
and add another command (the customisation interface might be easier  
to use). An option which *will* work is a batch file by some name,  
used as a substitute for some basic *TeX command, which also can  
check whether it's worth to launch a viewer application. The latter  
is not necessary when the previous compilation failed or was aborted ...
