@chapter What is YaTeX?
YaTeX automates typesetting and previewing of LaTeX and enables
completing input of LaTeX mark-up command such as
@code{\begin@{@}}..@code{\end@{@}}.
YaTeX also supports Demacs which runs on MS-DOS(386), Mule (Multi
Language Enhancement to GNU Emacs), and latex on DOS.

@section Calling typesetter
Typing @kbd{[prefix] t j}, the current editing window will be divided
horizontally when you invoke latex command, and log message of La@TeX{}
typesetting will be displayed in the other window; called typesetting
buffer. The typesetting buffer automatically scrolls up and traces
La@TeX{} warnings and error messages. If you see latex stopping by an
error, you can send string to latex in the typesetting buffer.
If an error stops the La@TeX{} typesetting, this key stroke will
move the cursor to the line where La@TeX{} error is detected.
@table @kbd
@item [prefix] '
@itemx ([prefix]+single quotation)
@dots{} jump to the previous error or warning
@end table
If you find a noticeable error, move to the typesetting buffer and move
the cursor on the line of error message and type @kbd{SPACE} key. This
makes the cursor move to corresponding source line.
YaTeX-typeset-region invoked by @kbd{[prefix] tr} call typesetter
for region. The region is specified by standard point and mark, or
by @code{%#BEGIN} and @code{%#END} marks. Selected region will be
copied to the temporary file @file{texput.tex} with the same preamble
as the main file of current editing sources. Be sure to put
all local macro settings in preamble, not after @code{\begin@{document@}}.
The method of specification of the region is shown in the
section @xref{%#notation}.
The documentclass for typeset-region is the same as that of editing
file if you edit one file, and is the same as main file's if you
edit splitting files.
The @kbd{[prefix] te} key automatically marks current inner environment
or inner math mode or paragraph, and then call typeset-region with marked
region. This
is convenient to quick view of current tabular environment or current
editing formulas. If running Emacs has the ability of displaying images,
typeset image will be shown in the next window. Further more,
if you modify the content within that environment, YaTeX performs
`on-the-fly' preview that automatically update preview image as you typed.
If your Emacs does not supply on-the-fly preview,
keeping previewer window for @file{texput.dvi} is handy
for debugging. Since @kbd{[prefix] te} selects the inner-most environment
as region, it is not suitable for partial typesetting of doubly or more
composed environment. If you want to do partial typesetting for a nested
environment, use @kbd{[prefix] tr} for static-region, which is described
in the section @xref{%#notation}.
@node Calling previewer, Printing out, Calling typesetter, Typesetting

@section Calling previewer
@kbd{[prefix] t p} invokes the TeX previewer. And if you are using

@section Splitting input files
And if you split the source text and
edit subfile that should be included from main text.
@example
%#!latex main.tex
@end example
@noindent
will be helpful to execute latex on main file from sub text buffer. Since
this command line after @kbd{%#!} will be sent to shell literally, next
description makes it convenient to use ghostview as dvi-previewer.
@example
%#!latex main && dvi2ps main.dvi > main
@end example
@noindent
Note that YaTeX assumes the component before the last period of
the last word in this line as base name of the main La@TeX{} source.
The @code{%f} notation in this line is replaced by main file name, and
@code{%r} replaced by root name of main file name. If you specify
@code{%f} or @code{%r}, YaTeX always ask you the name of main file at the
first typesetting.
To make best use of the feature of inter-file jumping by
@kbd{[prefix] g} (see @ref{Cursor jump}), take described below into
consideration.
@itemize
@item You can put split texts in sub directory, but not in
sub directory of sub directory.
@item In the main text, specify the child file name with relative path name
such as \include@{chap1/sub@}, when you include the file in
a sub-directory.
@item In a sub-text, write @code{%#!latex main.tex} even if @file{main.tex}
is in the parent directory(not %#!latex ../main.tex).
@end itemize
@node Static region for typesetting, Lpr format, Splitting input files, %#notation
@comment node-name, next, previous, up
@section Static region
@cindex static region
@cindex Fixed region
Typeset-region by @kbd{[prefix] tr} passes the region between point and
mark to typesetting command by default. But when you want to typeset
static region, enclose the region by @code{%#BEGIN} and @code{%#END} as
follows.
@example
%#BEGIN
TheRegionYouWantToTypesetManyTimes
%#END
@end example
This is the rule of deciding the region.
@enumerate
@item
If there exists %#BEGIN before point,
@enumerate
@item
If there exists %#END after %#BEGIN,
@itemize
@item From %#BEGIN to %#END.
@end itemize
@item
If %#END does not exist after %#BEGIN,
@itemize
@item From %#BEGIN to the end of buffer.
@end itemize
@end enumerate
@item
If there does not exist %#BEGIN before point,
@itemize
@item Between point and mark(standard method of Emacs).
@end itemize
@end enumerate
It is useful to write @code{%#BEGIN} in the previous line of \begin and
@code{%#END} in the next line of \@code{end} when you try complex
environment such as `tabular' many times. It is also useful to put only
@code{%#BEGIN} alone at the middle of very long text. Do not forget to
erase @code{%#BEGIN} @code{%#END} pair.
@node Special Filtering Region, Lpr format, Static region for typesetting, %#notation
@section Special Filtering Region
A region like below will be passed to external filter command.
@example
%#BEGIN FILTER{foo.pdf}{dot -T %t -o %o}
\if0
....blah blah blah...
....blah blah blah...
....blah blah blah...
\fi
%#END
@end example
In this case, typing @kbd{[prefix] t e} send three `blah' lines
to "dot -T pdf -o foo.pdf" as standard-input. It is useful to
have source of text-origin graphic generated by such tools as
graphviz or blockdiag, in La@TeX{} source. This special form of region
can be inserted via feeding @code{.dot} into environment completion by
@kbd{[prefix] t b}.
@node Lpr format, Controlling which command to invoke, Static region for typesetting, %#notation
@comment node-name, next, previous, up
@section Lpr format
@cindex lpr format
Lpr format is specified by three Lisp variables. Here are the
default values of them.
@table @code
@item (1)dviprint-command-format
@code{"dvi2ps %f %t %s | lpr"}
@item (2)dviprint-from-format
@code{"-f %b"}
@item (3)dviprint-to-format
@code{"-t %e"}
@end table
On YaTeX-lpr, @code{%s} in (1) is replaced by the file name of main
text, @code{%f} by contents of (2), %t by contents of (3). At these
replacements, @code{%b} in (2) is also replaced by the number of beginning
page, @code{%e} in (3) is replaced by the number of ending page. But
@code{%f} and @code{%t} are ignored when you omit the range of print-out
by @kbd{C-u [prefix] tl}.
If you want to change this lpr format temporarily, put a command
such as follows somewhere in the text:
@example
%#LPR dvi2ps %f %t %s | 4up -page 4 | texfix | lpr -Plp2
@end example
And if you want YaTeX not to ask you the range of printing
out, the next example may be helpful.
@example
%#LPR dvi2ps %s | lpr
@end example

in the minibuffer, and @code{\begin@{env@}}...\@code{\end@{env@}} will be
inserted in the La@TeX{} source text. If the environment you want to put
does not exist in the YaTeX completion table, it will be registered in the
user completion table. YaTeX automatically saves the user completion
table in the user dictionary file at exiting of emacs.
At the completion of certain environments, the expected initial entry will

@dots{} section-type completion
@end table
@noindent
then the prompt
@example

@end example
@noindent
will show up in the minibuffer. Section-type La@TeX{} commands are
completed by space key, and the default value is selected when you
type nothing in the minibuffer.
Next,
@example
\section@{???@}:
@end example
@noindent
prompts you the argument of section-type La@TeX{} command. For
example, the following inputs
@example
\???@{@} (default documentclass): section
\section@{???@}: Hello world.
@end example
@noindent
will insert the string
@example
\section@{Hello world.@}
@end example
in your La@TeX{} source. When you neglect argument such as
@example
(C-v for view) \???@{@} (default section): vspace*
\vspace*@{???@}:
@end example
YaTeX puts
@example
\vspace*@{@}
@end example
@noindent
and move the cursor in the braces.
In La@TeX{} command, there are commands which take more than one
arguments such as @code{\addtolength@{\topmargin@}@{8mm@}}. To complete these
commands, invoke section-type completion with universal argument as,
@cindex number of argument
@example
C-u 2 [prefix] s (or ESC 2 [prefix] s)
@end example
@noindent
and make answers in minibuffer like this.
@example
(C-v for view) \???@{@} (default vspace*): addtolength
\addtolength@{???@}: \topmargin
Argument 2: 8mm
@end example
@code{\addtolength} and the first argument @code{\topmargin} can be typed
easily by completing read. Since YaTeX also learns the number of
arguments of section-type command and will ask that many arguments in
future completion, you had better tell the number of arguments to YaTeX at
the first completion of the new word. But you can change the number of
arguments by calling the completion with different universal argument
again.
Invoking section-type completion with @code{[Prefix] S} (Capital `S')
includes the region as the first argument of section-type command.
The section/large/maketitle type completion can work at the
prompt for the argument of other section-type completion.
Nested La@TeX{} commands are efficiently read with the recursive
completion by typing YaTeX's completion key sequence in the
minibuffer.

@cindex ;
Arrow marks, sigma mark and those signs mainly used in the
TeX's math environment are completed by key sequences which
imitate the corresponding symbols graphically. This completion
only works in the math environment. YaTeX automatically detects
whether the cursor located in math environment or not, and
change the behavior of key strokes @kbd{;} and @kbd{:}.
By the way, we often express the leftarrow mark by `<-' for example.
Considering such image, you can write @code{\leftarrow} by typing @kbd{<-}
after @kbd{;} (semicolon) as a prefix. In the same way,
@code{\longleftarrow} (@code{<--}) is completed by typing @kbd{;<--},
infinity mark which is imitated by @code{oo} is completed by typing
@kbd{;oo}.
Here are the sample operations in YaTeX math-mode.
@example
INPUT Completed La@TeX{} commands
; < - @code{\leftarrow}
; < - - @code{\longleftarrow}
; < - - > @code{\longleftrightarrow}
; o @code{\circ}
; o o @code{\infty}
@end example
In any case, you can quit from image completion and can move
to the next editing operation if the La@TeX{} command you want is
shown in the buffer.
@code{;} itself in math-environment is inserted by @kbd{;;}. Typing
@kbd{TAB} in the midst of image completion shows all of the La@TeX{}
commands that start with the same name as string you previously typed in.
In this menu buffer, press @kbd{RET} after moving the cursor (by @kbd{n},
@kbd{p}, @kbd{b}, @kbd{f}) to insert the La@TeX{} command.
To know all of the completion table, type @kbd{TAB} just after @kbd{;}.
And here is the sample menu by @kbd{TAB} after @kbd{;<}.
@example
KEY LaTeX sequence sign
< \leq <
~
<< \ll <<
<- \leftarrow <-
<= \Leftarrow <=
@end example

Tables for completion consist of three dictionaries; `standard

When you input the command unknown to YaTeX at a completion in the

@example
`foo' is not in table. Register into: U)serDic L)ocalDic N)one D)iscard
@end example

In this menu, typing @kbd{u} updates your `user dictionary', @kbd{l}
updates your local dictionary, @kbd{n} updates only on-memory dictionary

Note: If you want to change the argument of section-type command that
contains other La@TeX{} commands, type @kbd{[prefix] c} either of
surrounding braces of the argument in order to make YaTeX ignore the
internal La@TeX{} sequences as an object of changing. Anyway, it is
very difficult to know which argument position the cursor belongs because
the La@TeX{} commands can be nested and braces can freely emerge. So keep
it mind to put the cursor on a brace when you are thinking of changing a
complicated argument.

@section Killing La@TeX{} commands

@kbd{[prefix] k} kills the La@TeX{} commands sometimes with their
arguments. Following table illustrates the correspondence of the invoking
position and what is killed.
@example
[Invoking position] [action]
\begin, \end line kill \begin,\end pairs
%#BEGIN, %#END line kill %#BEGIN,%#END pairs
on a Section-type command kill section-type command
on a parenthesis kill parentheses
@end example
Note that when killing @code{\begin, \end} or @code{%#BEGIN, %#END} pair,
the lines @code{\begin, \end} or @code{%#BEGIN, %#END} exist will be
killed entirely. So take care not to create any line that contains more
than one @code{\begin} or so.
While all operations above are to kill `containers' which surround some
text, universal argument (@kbd{C-u}) for these commands kills not only
`containers' but also `contents' of them. See below as a sample.
@example
Original text: [prefix] k C-u [prefix] k

on that item.
YaTeX uses the value of the variable @code{YaTeX-item-regexp} as the
regular expression to search item header in itemize environment.
If you make a newcommand to itemize terms(e.g. @code{\underlineitem}), put
@lisp
(setq YaTeX-item-regexp
"\\(\\\\\\(sub\\)*item\\)\\|\\(\\\\underlineitem\\)")
@end lisp
@cindex YaTeX-item-regexp
in your @file{~/.emacs}. If you are not familiar with regular expression
for Emacs-Lisp, name a newcommand for `itemize' beginning with
@code{\item} such as @code{\itembf}, not @code{\bfitem}.
This function reformats the @code{\item} into `hang-indented' style.
For example:
@example
itemize, enumerate environment:
>
>\item[foo] `foo' is the typical word for describing an
> arbitrarily written....
description environment:
> \item[bar] When the word `for' is used as an arbitrarily
> word, `bar' is bound to follow it.
@end example
Note that the indent depth of an @code{\item} word and its descriptive
paragraph are the same in latter case. If you want to use different
depth, invoke fill-paragraph at the beginning of non-whitespace
character(see below).
@section Filling paragraph
@cindex Filling paragraph
@cindex M-q
Fill-paragraph is little bit adapted for La@TeX{} sources. It retains from
filling in certain environments where formatting leads to a disaster such
as verbatim, tabular, or so. And it protects @code{\verb} expressions
from being folded (The variable @code{YaTeX-verb-regexp} controls this).
Besides, putting cursor on the first occurrence of non-whitespace
character on a line changes the fill-prefix temporarily to the depth of
the line.

@subsection How the add-in function works
There are three types of add-in.
@enumerate
@item
Option add-in
@item
argument add-in
@item
enclosing add-in
@end enumerate
@dfn{Option add-in} returns the
La@TeX{}'s optional parameters such as optional strings after
@code{\begin@{ENV@}}, optional strings between a section-type command
and its first argument, and optional strings just after type
maketitle-type command. The following illustrates the name of add-in
functions, where underlined strings are generated by add-in functions.
@display
\begin@{table@}[ht] (Function name: YaTeX:table)
~~~~
\put(100,200)@{@} (Function name: YaTeX:put)
~~~~~~~~~
\sum_@{i=0@}^@{n@} (Function name: YaTeX:sum)
~~~~~~~~~~
@end display
Obviously, the function name is decided by concatenating the prefix
`YaTeX:' and La@TeX{} command's name.
Another add-in type is @dfn{argument add-in}, which completes arguments
for section-type commands.
@display
\newcommand@{\foo@}@{bar@} (Function name: YaTeX::newcommand)
~~~~ ~~~
@end display
When the section-type command is inputted, the function named by
concatenating `YaTeX::' and section-type command, is called automatically
with an integer argument which indicates which argument of section-type
command is being read. Thus the add-in should determine the
job referring the value of its argument.
@dfn{enclosing add-in} is for modifying and/or checking the region that
will be enclosed by section-type commands via @kbd{[prefix] S}. An
enclosing add-in function will be called with two arguments, beginning of
the enclosed region and end of the region. Suppose you want to enclose
the existing text @code{(a+b)/c} by @code{\frac@{@}}.
@display
a/c
| |
A B
@end display
You do set-mark-command at point A and then move to point B. Typing
@kbd{[prefix] S} and input @code{frac} enclose the region like this;
@display
\frac@{a/c@}
@end display
Normally, the expression @code{a/c} is translated to
@code{\frac@{a@}@{c@}}. An enclosing add-in is useful for modifying
@code{/} to @code{@}@{}.

@subsubsection Defining `option add-in'
If you want @code{@{|c|c|c|@}} for all @code{tabular} environment,
@lisp
(defun YaTeX:tabular ()
"@{|c|c|c|@}")
@end lisp
@noindent
is enough. If you want more complicated format, define as below.
@lisp
(defun YaTeX:tabular ()
"@{@@@{\\vrule width 1pt\\ @}|||@@@{\\ \\vrule width 1pt@}@}")
@end lisp
@noindent
Note that the character @code{\} must be described as @code{\\} in
Emacs-Lisp. The next example reads the tabular format from keyboard.

@subsubsection Defining `argument add-in'
This section describes how to define the add-in function for
@code{\newcommand}.
The first argument of @code{\newcommand} begins always with @code{\}.

minibuffer. Here is the created function considering this.
@lisp

(read-string "Command: " "\\")) ;initial input `\'
((= n 2) "") ;do nothing when reading arg#2

Note that when the `argument add-in' function return `nil', normal
argument reader will be called.

@subsubsection Defining `enclosing add-in'
This section describes how to define the add-in function for
text enclosed by @code{\frac@{@}}.
When enclosing the text @code{5/3} by @code{\frac@{@}}, you might want to
replace @code{/} with @code{@}@{}. Enclosing function
@code{YaTeX::frac-region} is called with two arguments, beginning of
enclosed text and end of enclosed text. The function is expected to
replace @code{/} with @code{@}@{}. Here is an example expression.
@lisp
(defun YaTeX::frac-region (beg end)
(catch 'done
(while (search-forward "/" end t)
(goto-char (match-beginning 0))
(if (y-or-n-p "Replace this slash(/) with `@}@{'")

@subsection How the function is called
YaTeX calls the add-in functions for specified begin-type, section-type,
and maketitle-type command, if any. `Option add-in' functions for
begin-type are called when @code{\begin@{ENV@}} has been inserted,
functions for section-type are called just before input of the first
argument, and functions for maketitle-type is called after maketitle-type
command has been inserted. `Argument add-in' functions are called at each
entry of arguments for section-type commands.

@subsection Useful functions for creating add-in
Many add-in functions for typical La@TeX{} commands are defined in
@file{yatexadd.el}. Those are also useful as references. Here are the
short descriptions on useful functions, where [F] means function, [A]
means arguments, [D] means description.
@table @kbd
@item [F]
YaTeX:read-position
@itemx [A]
Character list which can show up in the brackets
@itemx [D]
Return the location specifier such as `[htb]'. When
nothing is entered, omit [] itself. If the possible characters
are "htbp", call this function as
@code{(YaTeX:read-position "htbp")}
@item [F]
YaTeX:read-coordinates
@itemx [A]
Base prompt, X-axis prompt, Y-axis prompt (each optional)
@itemx [D]
Read the coordinates with the prompt ``BasePrompt X-axisPrompt:'' for
X-axis, ``BasePrompt Y-axisPrompt:'' for Y-axis, and return it in the form
of ``(X,Y)''. The default prompts are @code{Dimension}, @code{X},
@code{Y} respectively.
@item [F]
YaTeX:check-completion-type
@itemx [A]
One of the symbols: 'begin, 'section, or 'maketitle
@itemx [D]
Check the current completion type is specified one and cause error if
not. The variable @code{YaTeX-current-completion-type} holds the symbol
according to the current completion type.

@section Add-in generator
First, don't forget to read the section of add-in functions @ref{Add-in
functions}. If you easily understand how to define them, there's no need
to read this section. But being not familiar with Emacs-Lisp, when you
don't have clear idea what to do, this section describes how to get YaTeX
make add-in function.
There are two methods of generation. One is for fully interactive
generator for beginners and another requires little knowledge of
Emacs-Lisp.
@subsection Generator for beginners
The former generator is called by
@center @kbd{M-x YaTeX-generate}
@noindent
strokes. All you have to do is follow the guidances. Defying them may cases
the disaster (I wonder what is it???). So when you make some mistake, it
is recommendable to type @kbd{C-g} and start afresh.
@subsection Simple generator
The latter generator is invoked by the next sequence.
@center @kbd{M-x YaTeX-generate-simple}
This generator can make both ``option add-in'' and ``argument add-in''
(@emph{refer the section add-in functions}
@ref{How the add-in function works}), whereas @code{YaTeX-generate}
cannot make ``argument addin''.
For example, assume you have the LaTeX command as follows.
@example
\epsinput[t](250,50)@{hoge.eps@}@{plain@}@{Picture of foo@}
(A) (B) (1) (2) (3)
(A)Optional parameter to specify the position
One of t(top), b(bottom), l(left), r(right)
(B)Maximum size of frame
(1)1st argument is filename of EPS file
(2)2nd argument indicates
plain do nothing
frame make frame around image
dframe make double-frame around image
for included EPS file.
(3)Caption for the picture
@end example
Now get start with generation. Typing @kbd{M-x YaTeX-generate-simple}
brings the prompt:
@display
(O)ption? (A)rgument?
@end display
@subsubsection Generating ``option add-in''
@cindex option add-in
Since (A), (B) above are optional argument, all we have to do to
complete them is define the option add-in for them. Let's generate the
function to complete (A).
@display
M-x YaTeX-generate-simple RET
epsinput RET
o
@end display
@noindent
Typing as above leads the next prompt.
@display
Read type(1): (S)tring (C)omplete (F)ile ([)option (P)osition co(O)rd. (q)uit
@end display
@noindent
This asks that ``Which type is the completion style of 1st argument?''.
Here are the possible completion style.
@table @code
@item String
read plain string
@item Complete
read with completion
@item File
read file name
@item Option
read optional string (if string omitted, omit [] too)
@item Position
read positional option (like [htbp])
@item Coord.
read coordinates
@item Quit
quit from generating
@end table
Since (A) is the optional argument to specify the location of included
EPS file, the completion style is @code{Position}, and the possible
characters are t, b, l, and r. To tell these information to generator,
operate as follows.
@display
Read type(1).... p
Acceptable characters: tblr RET
@end display
(B) is coordinate. So its completion style is coOrd. We want a prompt
meaning ``Maximum size'' when completion.
@display
Read type(2).... o
Prompt for coordinates: Max size RET
@end display
That's all for optional argument. Select quit.
@display
Read type(3).... q
@end display
Then the generated option add-in function for \epsinput will be shown in
the next window.
@subsubsection Generating ``argument add-in''
@cindex argument add-in
Next, create the argument add-in. The arguments for \epsinput are EPS
file name, framing style, and caption string in sequence.
@display
M-x YaTeX-generate-simple RET
epsinput RET
a
@end display
Above key strokes bring the prompt that asks the number of argument.
Answer it with 3.
@display
How many arguments?: 3 RET
@end display
Then the generator asks the completion style and prompt for completion.
Answer them. @kbd{f} for FileName and prompt string.
@display
Read type(1).... f
Prompt for argument#1 EPS file name RET
@end display
The second argument is one of selected symbol. So the completion type
is @code{Completion}.
@display
Read type(2).... c
Prompt for argument#2 Include style RET
@end display
Then all the candidates ready to be read. Type single RET after
entering all.
@display
Item[1](RET to exit): plain RET
Item[2](RET to exit): frame RET
Item[3](RET to exit): dframe RET
Item[4](RET to exit): RET
@end display
The following prompt asks whether the entered string must belong to
candidates or not. In this case, since the argument must be one of
@code{plain}, @code{frame}, and @code{dframe}, type @code{y}.
@display
Require match? (y or n) y
@end display
The last argument is the caption string for which any completion is
needed.
@display
Read type(3).... s
Prompt for argument#3 Caption RET
default: Figure of RET
@end display
Finally we'll get the argument add-in in the next window.
@subsection Contribution
If you get your own pretty function and you let it be in public, please
steel yourself in the happy atmosphere and do not send me the function.
I do know it is not fine because it is generated by yatexgen:-p.

The standard completion tables provided in @file{yatex.el} contain a
few La@TeX{} commands I frequently use. This is to lessen the key
strokes to complete entire word, because too many candidates
rarely used often cause too many hits. Therefore always try to
use completion in order to enrich your dictionary, and you will
also find `Wild Bird' growing suitable for your La@TeX{} style.
The package name `Wild Bird' is the English translation of Japanese
title `Yachou', which is a trick on words of Japanese.
