Editing LaTeX

Editing LaTeX

[David Rasmussen]

When editing LaTeX in emacs, I find two things annoying:

1) I want emacs not to wrap words at the end of a line, but to put words 
that don't fit, on the next line

2) I want the margin to be smaller than "at the end of the window".

In other words, I want emacs to help a little bit in making the 
LaTeX-code more readable. Until now, I've just pressed Enter after every 
line at appropriate places.

Help?

Options/Word Wrap in Text Mode
Options/Save Options

Those weird menu things are for clicking on them if you don't want to
read the manual.

I never pressed enter at the end of the line. Did you try
auto-fill-mode ? The Auctex package has also some formating commands.
If you're interested i write a tutorial (unfortunately in french) on
how to install Latex with Emacs and i give some tips to tune the
system. For example what can be interesting to edit tex file in your
.emacs. Take a look at http://www.miktex.org/links.html. You'll find
my toturial (the one in french) and another good site in english.
