[arthur.chereau]

Hi,

With auctex, I'd like to keep an xdvi window showing the dvi corresponding to
the current emacs buffer.

For now, with (list "View" "%v " 'TeX-run-command nil t) in tex-site.el,
I can run xdvi from emacs, but then I need to close xdvi if I want to lauch
another compilation.

First, I'd like to keep the xdvi window always opened, that is:
- the first time I compile the source from emacs, emacs opens an xdvi window
  with the corresponding dvi
- I don't need to close xdvi to recompile
- when I recompile with auctex, xdvi updates the dvi

Now, I'd like the dvi shown by xdvi to always correspond to the emacs buffer:
- I compile a (La)TeX file as shown above; an xdvi window is opened
- I open another (La)TeX file in emacs
- when I compile it, xdvi automatically shows the dvi corresponding to the
  new emacs buffer

Why not have two xdvi windows instead?

xdvi should update as soon as you switch focus to it after compiling.
You shouldn't need to change the default settings.  You compile with C-c
C-c once, do it again and you get the option to view.  After that, you
can just compile and xdvi will update of its own accord.

Here's what I do:
- open the file
- C-c C-c      --> LaTeX
- C-c C-c      --> View (xdvi starts)
- modify the file and save it
- C-c C-c      --> LaTeX

Now I have:
Process `View' for document `test' running, kill it? (y or n) n
TeX-process-check: Cannot have two processes for the same document

I have 
 (list "View" "xdvi -geometry 1010x690+0+0 -s 2 %s "
              'TeX-run-background t nil)

I think the TeX-run-background keeps it from asking if you want to
close it.

I put the xdvi window on another desktop and switch desktops between
emacs and xdvi. Works for me.

The default entry appears to be

 ("View" "%v " TeX-run-silent t nil)

which works fine for me.

There's also Whizzytex+advi combination
(http://pauillac.inria.fr/whizzytex/) which Arthur could find useful. It
re-compiles the dvi automatically as you type. No need to switch focus to
and fro.

AUCTeX

How do I check if AUCTeX is already installed in my emacs?

Why not just type M-x latex-mode and see if you get it? The modeline will 
say latex and your menu bar will change.

When opening a TeX file, you have a "Command" menu.  If not, try
M-: (require 'tex-site) RET
in a fresh Emacs, and then check
C-h v AUC-TeX-version RET

Because I am a total beginner, and know nothing about emacs and AUCTeX? :)

I got the LaTeX-mode, but how can I be sure that this is AUCTeX? Aren't 
there other LaTeX-modes available?

Gives errors.

Gives errors too. The AUC-TeX-version variable isn't defined. So I am 
not running AUCTeX, or what? But what mode am I running then? I _does_ 
say (LaTeX Fill) in the modeline, and there is a TeX-menu.

AUCTeX is a very much enhanced LaTeX mode.  It is not bundled with
Emacs, and even in XEmacs (where typically older versions of it are
bundled), you have to explicitly activate it.

Everybody will tell you "you want to use AUCTeX" when you are writing
LaTeX code.

I answered that question already in the previous post, but you snipped
the reply.  AUCTeX is not going to be integrated into Emacs anytime
soon due to outstanding copyright assignments, and the process of
collecting them is progressing rather slowly.

So what is the way forward for this? 
What can be done to improve the situation? 

Would distributing AUCTeX like leim was distributed in previous emacs
versions help? (i.e. leim distributed separately, but it could be
unpacked in the emacs source tree and compiled and installed
together). Just an idea...

Basically collecting assignments.

AUCTeX is a separate project and works with a variety of Emacsen.  It
is also released more often than every 5 years or so.  I don't think
that at the current point of time there is much room for improvement.
It might be possible to create a tarball for dropping into an Emacs
tree before compiling and autoload generation (which is somewhat
similar to what we do to create an XEmacs package).  But I don't see
it change the situation much.

Auctex

[moheb]

Hi,

I noticed significant delay in keyboard repeat say with the space key while 
 typing in emacs. I think this is a problem with Auctex. Anyone has the same 
 experience? Any workaround?

Thanks,

Are there unmatched quotation marks or math switches in the document?
Does it get better if you disable font locking?
