%% %% Q and A on YaTeX %% %% C-u C-x $ shows only questions. C-x $ shows all. %% (New Item *It is bothering for me to determine I should call bibtex or latex... *Filling a paragraph doesn't work as I expected. [Installation] ============== *Installing the manual Copy yatexe to the info directory where your Emacs is installed, and add the next line to the dir file of the same directory. * YaTeX-e: (yatexe). Yet Another tex-mode for Emacs. (English). (After that, M-x info [RET] m yatex [RET] will give you Wild Bird's manual. Hitting ? will show how to use info) *I'm a Meadow(Emacs on Win32) user. I don't have `make' utility Make program is needed only for byte-compiling. So if you do not care the subtle speed difference, you don't have to byte-compile. You don't have to look for `make' utility. The simplest way to install yatex without `make'. 1 Extract this yatex*tar.gz to your Meadow's site-lisp dir. 2 Add the yatex installed path to your load-path according to `install' file in this package. *I ain't got the privilege to write in the Info directory... Get yourself made root. If you can't, write this: (setq Info-default-directory-list (cons "YOUR INFO DIRECTORY" Info-default-directory-list)) to your ~/.emacs. Now your personal files will be added to the menu when you invoke info. *Emacs can't find the help file. If you don't have the privilege to put them in a public location, copy it to your home directory and set YaTeX-help-file to that file name. [Operations] ============ *I accidentally learned in a wrong LaTeX macro in my dictionary. There should be a line with the wrong command in the .yatexrc file in your home or current directory. Erase or fix that line, and save the results with C-x C-s, then kill buffer with C-x k. Once you make sure the current buffer is your LaTeX source, type M-x YaTeX-reload-dictionary. *I can't comment out the region. Probably the point is on a line withe \begin{} or \end{}. Go up or down a line and do C-c >. *I was asked for a parent file when typesetting, and answered the wrong file. Re-read the child file with C-x C-v RET or re-type the parent file with C-u C-c ^. *The typeset buffer is not shown when I get a typeset buffer on Demacs. This happens on Demacs 1.2.0, when the child process returns an error level of 1 or more. If you are calling jlatex from a batch file, call a dummy command that always returns errorlevel 0 at the end. *How can I enter "\underline{\makebox[4em][l]{x y}{\tt z}}" more easily? Recursive completion can be used for inputting arguments in the mini-buffer of a section type completion. Following is an example showing the command in question. PROMPT KEYs ENTERED C-c s und SPC RET \underline{???}: C-c s makeb SPC RET Width: 4em RET makebox position (`lr'): - l RET \makebox{???}: x y RET \underline{???}: \makebox[4em][l]{x y} C-c l tt RET \underline{???}: \makebox[4em][l]{x y}{\tt } z RET *How can I kill \footnote{} from \footnote{HOGE} Put the point to \footnote and do C-c k. This will kill the \footnote{}. If you want to kill the whole thing including HOGE, do C-u C-c k. *I want to make HONYARA into a footnote. Mark HONYARA and do C-c S footnote RET. (S in uppercase) *I want to make the verbatim environment I have now into verbatim*. Do C-c c on the line with \begin{verbatim} or \end{verbatim}. *I want to enclose a region with \verb. \verb isn't a maketitle-type, so there aren't any quick commands. But you can use C-c $ to do the same thing. v v WHAT YOU NEED to make \verb \verbWHAT YOU NEED to make \verb (insert \verb) ^(C-@) (mark W) \verbWHAT YOU NEED to make \verb ^C-c $ (move point to end enclose with $) \verb$WHAT YOU NEED$ to make \verb (done!) *I want to have commands defined on a upper level file to be read in when doing a typeset-region on a child file. When you are editing child files broken into sections and some macros to be used are defined in upper level files, you'll need them to do typeset-region. The macros needed will be copied to the temporary file if you add %#REQUIRE to the end of the macro's definition. Say you had a grand-child file +-- main.tex --+ +---- sub.tex ----+ +-- subsub.tex --+ | : | |%#jlatex main | |%#jlatex main | |\include{sub} | |\include{macros} | |..... | | : |<-| : |<-|%#BEGIN | | : | | : | |TEXT YOU WANT | | : | +-----------------+ |TYPESET IS | +--------------+ ^ |HERE | +-- macros.tex ---+ |%#END | |\def\foo{bar} | |: | |\def\hoge{hero} | +----------------+ +-----------------+ In this case you change the \include{macros} line in sub.tex to \include{macros} %#REQUIRE and add to subsub.tex %#REQUIRE \include{macros} If %#REQUIRE is at the top of the line, the following will be copied to the temporary file. So, macros.tex will be included only once whether you are typesetting all the files, or doing a typeset-region on sub.tex or subsub.tex. *I want to reuse ARGUMENTS I used in the last \foo{ARGUMENTS} Use the gmhist package. YaTeX works fine with gmhist. When you are asked \foo{???}: in the mini-buffer, hitting M-p (ESC p) will get you a history of what you have inputted in reverse. M-n will go forward in the history. This input history can be used for begin-type completion, section-type completion, evoking the previewer, and print out commands. gmhist can be found at many Emacs-Lisp archive sights. For example, ftp.ae.keio.ac.jp:pub/emacs-lisp/util/gmhist.tar.gz Note that Emacs-19(Mule2) doesn't need gmhist for the feature of minibuffer history. *ref<->label jump doesn't work. C-c g will start a forward search of ref/label. C-u C-c g will start a backward search. If you want to continue searching for \ref, hit C-s (C-r) twice and use the repeated search feature of the incremental search. If the point to jump is in another file, that file must be already opened. YaTeX-display-hierarchy (C-c d) can be used to open all files at once. *I get a % at the end of the line when I do a fill-paragraph or auto-fill. NTT-jTeX will add an unnecessary space in the print out image if the japanese paragraph is written with an indent. To avoid this, you need to put a % at the end of the line. YaTeX will automatically put a % so you can input indented text for NTT-jTeX. But there may be a bug in the routine so please report if you find any %s otherwise than at the end of a line. *Isn't the indentation too deep in itemize environments? Think so too? An alias Mr. K thought this was better and he feels an ultimate ecstacy with hitting the TAB to indent a line. Wasn't my idea! (still have a bit of a grudge) If you also think it's too deep, hit TAB at the end of the line with \begin{itemize} within the environment. Now it's too shallow? Umm... time for me to take a break. *Is it possible to include personal template file template.tex handily? Put your template.tex into your ~/work directory where YaTeX seeks by default. If you change the location to another place, set the lisp-variable as below. (setq YaTeX-template-file "~/other/location/template.tex") *It is bothering for me to determine I should call bibtex or latex... Since version 1.76, YaTeX automatically call bibtex/latex twice if needed. In most case, you don't have to repeat to call typesetter or bibtex. If you use `latexmk' described below, YaTeX's auto rerun functionality should be disabled by setting like this: (setq YaTeX-typeset-auto-rerun nil) The `latexmk' perl script, which is a TeX specific tool to automate generation of LaTeX document. You can find `latexmk' some CTAN ftp directory. (eg. http://www.ctan.org/pkg/latexmk/) *Can I inhibit auto-filling against very long <a href="..."> line? If you use Emacs-19 or later, Yes. The variable auto-fill-inhibit-regexp controls the filling behaviour. To set this, use yatex-mode-hook as below. (add-hook 'yahtml-mode-hook '(lambda () (setq auto-fill-inhibit-regexp "^[ ]*\\(<a href\\|<img src=\\)"))) *Filling a paragraph doesn't work as I expected. It is because the indentation depth is different from default depth. Please keep turning on auto-fill to make filling function work well. If you bring some paragraph which has different indentation from other part of document, you have to re-indent it with the default indentation by typing TAB on each line. If the paragraph is large, try the next operation; (1)Type C-x . on the beginning of line (2)Mark paragraph to be re-indented (3)Type M-C-\ then fill the paragraph. If you want fill that paragraph with current indentation depth, move the cursor on the first appearance of non-white-space character on the line before filling. [About Emacs-19/Mule2] ====================== *Equations are too dark to read when I use hilit19. The default coloring of hilit19.el is too dark. Try putting the next code in ~/.emacs or yatexhks.el. (if (and (featurep 'hilit19) (eq hilit-background-mode 'dark)) (hilit-translate string 'mediumspringgreen formula 'khaki label 'yellow-underlined)) *Can't I use font-lock? Since v1.69, YES on XEmacs-21, Emacs-21, Emacs-20.7. Before starting YaTeX, load font-lock to make it work. However, YaTeX makes tricky patterns to fontifying logical area independent from `line', changing of font-lock's specification in the future will possibly disable YaTeX from fontifying. If you are thinking of graduating from hilit19, it might be better to keep old setting about it... *Is there any way of displaying `\it' strings in the italic font? First, you should find the available italic font on your system. In, *scratch* buffer, (set-face-font 'italic "-*-*-medium-i-*--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*") or (set-face-font 'italic "-*-*-medium-o-*--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*") and C-j (It takes very very long time!!). If you get `No matches found', no way. (;_;)/~ If you get some font name, "-adobe-courier-medium-i-normal--12-120-75-75-m-0-iso8859-1" for example, write (set-face-font 'italic "-adobe-courier-medium-i-normal--12-120-75-75-m-0-iso8859-1") in your `yatexhks.el'. [Customization] =============== *I don't use C-c b i much, so it would be better if I can start completion after hitting C-c b. Put (setq YaTeX-no-begend-shortcut t) in your ~/.emacs. *An open parenthesis always get entered in pairs. This should be better, once you get used to it. If you still don't like it, turn on modify-mode using C-c w m. Setting YaTeX-close-paren-always to nil will give this feature from the start. *Funny things happen when I hit ;. YaTeX think you are in math mode and evokes math-mode-image completion. If you are writing a equation that TeX will not give an error and YaTeX mistakes what mode you are in, report it back to the author. For mistaken judgements or if you want to enter a literal ;, hit ; twice. C-u ; to use ; as a image-completion prefix. *I want YaTeX to enter the option arguments for a newenvironment. Read yatexadd.doc. If that's not enough, read yatexgen.doc and try M-x YaTeX-generate. *I first defined \foo as a macro taking 3 arguments. Later I changed it to take 4 arguments, but the section-type completion will ask me for only 3 arguments. Use C-u 4 C-c s and tell it will take 4 arguments. You can change the number of arguments anytime you want. *I made a argument-type addin function, but can't do completion after the first two arguments. If you made a addin function like \foo{x}{y}{z} that takes 3 arguments, then you need to learn in the dictionary that \foo will take 3 arguments. This can be done by C-u 3 C-c s foo. You only need to do it once. *My addin functions are overwritten by yatexadd. Formally, all private functions were written in your own yatexadd.el. Now, all private functions are put in yatexhks.el. yatexhks.el will be read in at the end of YaTeX's initialization, so you can overwrite definitions in yatexadd.el. *Can I make intelligent newline work for my `mylist' environment? Yes. See the section `Intelligent newline' in the info manual. But if you want the same as the intelligent newline for itemize environment which inserts simply `\item', the following code is efficient. (fset 'YaTeX-intelligent-newline-mylist 'YaTeX-intelligent-newline-itemize) [ETC] ===== *Mailing lists? A question, so an answer. The mailing list for YaTeX (Wild Bird) and it's implementation to Vz Editor; LaiTeX (Thunder Bird, by KATSURAGAWA Naoki), implementation to Wz Editor; HackTeX (Swan, by TAKENAKA Hiroshi), implementation to Hidemaru Editor; HiTeX (Flying Bird, by YASUDA Haruyuki), implementation to xyzzy; KaTeX (by MAEDA Manabu) is "fj Wild Bird Society". Send a mail like To: yatex@yatex.org Subject: subscribe ----- Hi! My name is yuuji. See any birds fly by? and you're in. Once you're in, you'll get a reply with lists of commands used in the mailing list. Join along and help adding new feathers to Wild Bird. BTW, if you haven't guessed it yet, yes, this mailing list is in Japanese. But give us a try anyway. You're always welcome. *How to get the up-to-date information on YaTeX? If you can access WWW, try to see; http://www.yatex.org/ And if you trace the link of `yatex-current', you can get the really latest version of YaTeX. Since it collects the elisps in the author's source directory, what you'll get may contain some errors. The author cannot respond to your query about yatex-current. If you want to catch up to latest version, using yatex-current is inefficient. Use yatex's mercurial repository instead. hg clone http://www.yatex.org:/hgrepos/yatex cd yatex hg up -C dev Then, getting all updates by `hg pull'. hg pull -uv Okay to set load-path of yatex to local copy of repository. Two branch names are mostly in use. The `default' branch is for release versions, the `dev' branch is for development. *Help, help HELP!! Ways of getting answers in fastest order. *Look for someone near you who knows what's he/she's doing. *Post a question to the mailing list. *Send mail to yuuji@yatex.org take a pick. *Picking a question in this file with C-u C-x $ and hitting C-x $ takes me to a weird world. You too? Try marking the question before C-x $ and to C-x C-x to take you back to it.
