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

184 Typing @kbd{[prefix] t j}, the current editing window will be divided
185 horizontally when you invoke latex command, and log message of La@TeX{}
186 typesetting will be displayed in the other window; called typesetting
187 buffer. The typesetting buffer automatically scrolls up and traces
188 La@TeX{} warnings and error messages. If you see latex stopping by an
189 error, you can send string to latex in the typesetting buffer.
191 If an error stops the La@TeX{} typesetting, this key stroke will
192 move the cursor to the line where La@TeX{} error is detected.
194 @table @kbd
195 @item [prefix] '

199 @end table
201 If you find a noticeable error, move to the typesetting buffer and move
202 the cursor on the line of error message and type @kbd{SPACE} key. This
203 makes the cursor move to corresponding source line.
205 YaTeX-typeset-region invoked by @kbd{[prefix] tr} call typesetter
206 for region. The region is specified by standard point and mark, or
207 by @code{%#BEGIN} and @code{%#END} marks. Selected region will be
208 copied to the temporary file @file{texput.tex} with the same preamble
209 as the main file of current editing sources. Be sure to put
210 all local macro settings in preamble, not after @code{\begin@{document@}}.
211 The method of specification of the region is shown in the
212 section @xref{%#notation}.
214 The documentclass for typeset-region is the same as that of editing
215 file if you edit one file, and is the same as main file's if you
216 edit splitting files.
218 The @kbd{[prefix] te} key automatically marks current inner environment
219 or inner math mode or paragraph, and then call typeset-region with marked
220 region. This
221 is convenient to quick view of current tabular environment or current
222 editing formulas. If running Emacs has the ability of displaying images,
223 typeset image will be shown in the next window. Further more,
224 if you modify the content within that environment, YaTeX performs
225 `on-the-fly' preview that automatically update preview image as you typed.
227 If your Emacs does not supply on-the-fly preview,
228 keeping previewer window for @file{texput.dvi} is handy
229 for debugging. Since @kbd{[prefix] te} selects the inner-most environment
230 as region, it is not suitable for partial typesetting of doubly or more
231 composed environment. If you want to do partial typesetting for a nested
232 environment, use @kbd{[prefix] tr} for static-region, which is described
233 in the section @xref{%#notation}.

296 @example
297 %#!latex main.tex
298 @end example
300 @noindent
301 will be helpful to execute latex on main file from sub text buffer. Since
302 this command line after @kbd{%#!} will be sent to shell literally, next
303 description makes it convenient to use ghostview as dvi-previewer.
305 @example
306 %#!latex main && dvi2ps main.dvi > main
307 @end example
309 @noindent
310 Note that YaTeX assumes the component before the last period of
311 the last word in this line as base name of the main La@TeX{} source.
312 The @code{%f} notation in this line is replaced by main file name, and
313 @code{%r} replaced by root name of main file name. If you specify
314 @code{%f} or @code{%r}, YaTeX always ask you the name of main file at the
315 first typesetting.
317 To make best use of the feature of inter-file jumping by
318 @kbd{[prefix] g} (see @ref{Cursor jump}), take described below into
319 consideration.
321 @itemize
322 @item You can put split texts in sub directory, but not in
323 sub directory of sub directory.
324 @item In the main text, specify the child file name with relative path name
325 such as \include@{chap1/sub@}, when you include the file in
326 a sub-directory.
327 @item In a sub-text, write @code{%#!latex main.tex} even if @file{main.tex}
328 is in the parent directory(not %#!latex ../main.tex).

335 @cindex Fixed region
337 Typeset-region by @kbd{[prefix] tr} passes the region between point and
338 mark to typesetting command by default. But when you want to typeset
339 static region, enclose the region by @code{%#BEGIN} and @code{%#END} as
340 follows.
342 @example
343 %#BEGIN
344 TheRegionYouWantToTypesetManyTimes
345 %#END
346 @end example
348 This is the rule of deciding the region.
350 @enumerate
351 @item
352 If there exists %#BEGIN before point,
354 @enumerate
355 @item
356 If there exists %#END after %#BEGIN,
357 @itemize
358 @item From %#BEGIN to %#END.
359 @end itemize
361 @item
362 If %#END does not exist after %#BEGIN,
363 @itemize
364 @item From %#BEGIN to the end of buffer.
365 @end itemize
366 @end enumerate
368 @item
369 If there does not exist %#BEGIN before point,
370 @itemize
371 @item Between point and mark(standard method of Emacs).
372 @end itemize
373 @end enumerate
375 It is useful to write @code{%#BEGIN} in the previous line of \begin and
376 @code{%#END} in the next line of \@code{end} when you try complex
377 environment such as `tabular' many times. It is also useful to put only
378 @code{%#BEGIN} alone at the middle of very long text. Do not forget to
379 erase @code{%#BEGIN} @code{%#END} pair.
381 @node Special Filtering Region, Lpr format, Static region for typesetting, %#notation
382 @section Special Filtering Region
383 A region like below will be passed to external filter command.
384 @example
385 %#BEGIN FILTER{foo.pdf}{dot -T %t -o %o}
386 \if0
387 ....blah blah blah...
388 ....blah blah blah...
389 ....blah blah blah...
390 \fi
391 %#END
392 @end example
394 In this case, typing @kbd{[prefix] t e} send three `blah' lines
395 to "dot -T pdf -o foo.pdf" as standard-input. It is useful to
396 have source of text-origin graphic generated by such tools as
397 graphviz or blockdiag, in La@TeX{} source. This special form of region
398 can be inserted via feeding @code{.dot} into environment completion by
399 @kbd{[prefix] t b}.
403 @node Lpr format, Controlling which command to invoke, Static region for typesetting, %#notation
404 @comment node-name, next, previous, up
405 @section Lpr format
406 @cindex lpr format
408 Lpr format is specified by three Lisp variables. Here are the
409 default values of them.
411 @table @code
412 @item (1)dviprint-command-format
413 @code{"dvi2ps %f %t %s | lpr"}

415 @code{"-f %b"}
416 @item (3)dviprint-to-format
417 @code{"-t %e"}
418 @end table
420 On YaTeX-lpr, @code{%s} in (1) is replaced by the file name of main
421 text, @code{%f} by contents of (2), %t by contents of (3). At these
422 replacements, @code{%b} in (2) is also replaced by the number of beginning
423 page, @code{%e} in (3) is replaced by the number of ending page. But
424 @code{%f} and @code{%t} are ignored when you omit the range of print-out
425 by @kbd{C-u [prefix] tl}.
427 If you want to change this lpr format temporarily, put a command
428 such as follows somewhere in the text:
430 @example
431 %#LPR dvi2ps %f %t %s | 4up -page 4 | texfix | lpr -Plp2
432 @end example
434 And if you want YaTeX not to ask you the range of printing
435 out, the next example may be helpful.

635 @noindent
636 will show up in the minibuffer. Section-type La@TeX{} commands are
637 completed by space key, and the default value is selected when you
638 type nothing in the minibuffer.
640 Next,
642 @example
643 \section@{???@}:
644 @end example
646 @noindent
647 prompts you the argument of section-type La@TeX{} command. For
648 example, the following inputs
650 @example
651 \???@{@} (default documentclass): section
652 \section@{???@}: Hello world.
653 @end example
655 @noindent
656 will insert the string
658 @example
659 \section@{Hello world.@}

662 in your La@TeX{} source. When you neglect argument such as
664 @example
665 (C-v for view) \???@{@} (default section): vspace*
666 \vspace*@{???@}:
667 @end example
669 YaTeX puts
671 @example
672 \vspace*@{@}
673 @end example
675 @noindent
676 and move the cursor in the braces.
678 In La@TeX{} command, there are commands which take more than one
679 arguments such as @code{\addtolength@{\topmargin@}@{8mm@}}. To complete these
680 commands, invoke section-type completion with universal argument as,
681 @cindex number of argument
683 @example
684 C-u 2 [prefix] s (or ESC 2 [prefix] s)
685 @end example
687 @noindent
688 and make answers in minibuffer like this.
690 @example
691 (C-v for view) \???@{@} (default vspace*): addtolength
692 \addtolength@{???@}: \topmargin
693 Argument 2: 8mm
694 @end example
696 @code{\addtolength} and the first argument @code{\topmargin} can be typed
697 easily by completing read. Since YaTeX also learns the number of
698 arguments of section-type command and will ask that many arguments in
699 future completion, you had better tell the number of arguments to YaTeX at
700 the first completion of the new word. But you can change the number of
701 arguments by calling the completion with different universal argument
702 again.
705 Invoking section-type completion with @code{[Prefix] S} (Capital `S')
706 includes the region as the first argument of section-type command.
708 The section/large/maketitle type completion can work at the
709 prompt for the argument of other section-type completion.
710 Nested La@TeX{} commands are efficiently read with the recursive
711 completion by typing YaTeX's completion key sequence in the

923 Arrow marks, sigma mark and those signs mainly used in the
924 TeX's math environment are completed by key sequences which
925 imitate the corresponding symbols graphically. This completion
926 only works in the math environment. YaTeX automatically detects
927 whether the cursor located in math environment or not, and
928 change the behavior of key strokes @kbd{;} and @kbd{:}.
930 By the way, we often express the leftarrow mark by `<-' for example.
931 Considering such image, you can write @code{\leftarrow} by typing @kbd{<-}
932 after @kbd{;} (semicolon) as a prefix. In the same way,
933 @code{\longleftarrow} (@code{<--}) is completed by typing @kbd{;<--},
934 infinity mark which is imitated by @code{oo} is completed by typing
935 @kbd{;oo}.
937 Here are the sample operations in YaTeX math-mode.
939 @example
940 INPUT Completed La@TeX{} commands
941 ; < - @code{\leftarrow}
942 ; < - - @code{\longleftarrow}
943 ; < - - > @code{\longleftrightarrow}
944 ; o @code{\circ}

948 In any case, you can quit from image completion and can move
949 to the next editing operation if the La@TeX{} command you want is
950 shown in the buffer.
952 @code{;} itself in math-environment is inserted by @kbd{;;}. Typing
953 @kbd{TAB} in the midst of image completion shows all of the La@TeX{}
954 commands that start with the same name as string you previously typed in.
955 In this menu buffer, press @kbd{RET} after moving the cursor (by @kbd{n},
956 @kbd{p}, @kbd{b}, @kbd{f}) to insert the La@TeX{} command.
958 To know all of the completion table, type @kbd{TAB} just after @kbd{;}.

1260 @kbd{[prefix] c} can change the various (La)@TeX{} commands. This can
1261 change the followings.
1262 @itemize @bullet
1263 @item Environment names
1264 @item Section-type commands
1265 @item Argument of section-type commands

1269 image completion
1270 @end itemize
1272 Typing @kbd{[prefix] c} on one of above objects you want to change
1273 brings a suitable reading function sometimes with completion.
1274 Note: If you want to change the argument of section-type command that
1275 contains other La@TeX{} commands, type @kbd{[prefix] c} either of
1276 surrounding braces of the argument in order to make YaTeX ignore the
1277 internal La@TeX{} sequences as an object of changing. Anyway, it is
1278 very difficult to know which argument position the cursor belongs because
1279 the La@TeX{} commands can be nested and braces can freely emerge. So keep
1280 it mind to put the cursor on a brace when you are thinking of changing a
1281 complicated argument.

1286 @cindex Killing La@TeX{} commands
1288 @kbd{[prefix] k} kills the La@TeX{} commands sometimes with their
1289 arguments. Following table illustrates the correspondence of the invoking
1290 position and what is killed.
1292 @example
1293 [Invoking position] [action]
1294 \begin, \end line kill \begin,\end pairs
1295 %#BEGIN, %#END line kill %#BEGIN,%#END pairs
1296 on a Section-type command kill section-type command
1297 on a parenthesis kill parentheses
1298 @end example
1300 Note that when killing @code{\begin, \end} or @code{%#BEGIN, %#END} pair,
1301 the lines @code{\begin, \end} or @code{%#BEGIN, %#END} exist will be
1302 killed entirely. So take care not to create any line that contains more
1303 than one @code{\begin} or so.
1305 While all operations above are to kill `containers' which surround some
1306 text, universal argument (@kbd{C-u}) for these commands kills not only
1307 `containers' but also `contents' of them. See below as a sample.
1309 @example
1310 Original text: [prefix] k C-u [prefix] k
1311 Main \footnote@{note@} here. Main note here. Main here.

1330 @table @kbd
1331 @item M-q

1335 @noindent
1336 on that item.
1338 YaTeX uses the value of the variable @code{YaTeX-item-regexp} as the
1339 regular expression to search item header in itemize environment.
1340 If you make a newcommand to itemize terms(e.g. @code{\underlineitem}), put
1342 @lisp
1343 (setq YaTeX-item-regexp
1344 "\\(\\\\\\(sub\\)*item\\)\\|\\(\\\\underlineitem\\)")
1345 @end lisp
1346 @cindex YaTeX-item-regexp
1348 in your @file{~/.emacs}. If you are not familiar with regular expression
1349 for Emacs-Lisp, name a newcommand for `itemize' beginning with
1350 @code{\item} such as @code{\itembf}, not @code{\bfitem}.
1352 This function reformats the @code{\item} into `hang-indented' style.
1353 For example:
1355 @example
1356 itemize, enumerate environment:
1357 >
1358 >\item[foo] `foo' is the typical word for describing an
1359 > arbitrarily written....
1360 description environment:
1361 > \item[bar] When the word `for' is used as an arbitrarily
1362 > word, `bar' is bound to follow it.
1363 @end example
1365 Note that the indent depth of an @code{\item} word and its descriptive
1366 paragraph are the same in latter case. If you want to use different
1367 depth, invoke fill-paragraph at the beginning of non-whitespace
1368 character(see below).
1370 @section Filling paragraph
1371 @cindex Filling paragraph
1372 @cindex M-q
1374 Fill-paragraph is little bit adapted for La@TeX{} sources. It retains from
1375 filling in certain environments where formatting leads to a disaster such
1376 as verbatim, tabular, or so. And it protects @code{\verb} expressions
1377 from being folded (The variable @code{YaTeX-verb-regexp} controls this).
1378 Besides, putting cursor on the first occurrence of non-whitespace
1379 character on a line changes the fill-prefix temporarily to the depth of
1380 the line.

1389 @example

1394 in the main file reduces the time of typesetting. If you want

1399 @end example
1401 @noindent
1402 in the main file. YaTeX automatically detects that the current
1403 edited text is not in includeonly list and prompts you
1405 @example
1406 A)dd R)eplace %)comment?
1407 @end example
1409 in the minibuffer. Type @kbd{a} if you want to add the current file name
1410 to @code{\includeonly} list, @kbd{r} to replace \@code{includeonly} list

1431 &&&(???)
1432 \\ \hline
1433 \end@{tabular@}
1434 @end example
1436 Suppose you have the cursor located at @code{(???)} mark, can you tell
1437 which column it is belonging at once? Maybe no. In such case,
1438 type
1440 @table @kbd
1441 @item [prefix] &
1442 @dots{} What column
1443 @end table
1445 @noindent
1446 in that position. YaTeX tells you the column header of the
1447 current field. Since YaTeX assumes the first line of tabular
1448 environment as a row of column headers, you can create a row of
1449 virtual column headers by putting them in the first line and
1450 commenting that line with @code{%}.

1493 If you want to apply these trick to other environments, @code{foo}
1494 environment for example, define the function named
1495 @code{YaTeX-intelligent-newline-foo} to insert corresponding contents.
1496 That function will be called at the beginning of the next line after the
1497 newline is inserted to the current line. Since the function
1498 @code{YaTeX-indent-line} is designed to indent the current line properly,
1499 calling this function before your code to insert certain contents must be

1542 There are two help file, `global help' and `private help'. The former
1543 file contains the descriptions on the standard La@TeX{} command and is
1544 specified its name by variable @code{YaTeX-help-file}. Usually, the
1545 global help file should be located in public space (@code{$EMACSEXECPATH}
1546 by default) and should be world writable so that anyone can update it to
1547 enrich its contents. The latter file contains descriptions on
1548 non-standard or personal command definitions and is specified by
1549 @code{YaTeX-help-file-private}. This file should be put into private
1550 directory.
1552 @section Online apropos
1554 `Online apropos' is an equivalent of GNU Emacs's apropos. It
1555 shows all the documentations that contains the keyword entered by
1556 the user.
1558 @section When no descriptions are found...
1560 If there is no description on a command in help files, YaTeX
1561 requires you to write a description on that command. If you are
1562 willing to do, determine which help file to add and write the
1563 description on it referring your manual of (La)TeX. Please send
1564 me your additional descriptions if you describe the help on some
1565 standard commands. I might want to include it in the next

2143 @subsection How the add-in function works
2145 There are three types of add-in.
2147 @enumerate
2148 @item
2149 Option add-in
2150 @item
2151 argument add-in
2152 @item
2153 enclosing add-in
2154 @end enumerate
2156 @dfn{Option add-in} returns the
2157 La@TeX{}'s optional parameters such as optional strings after
2158 @code{\begin@{ENV@}}, optional strings between a section-type command
2159 and its first argument, and optional strings just after type
2160 maketitle-type command. The following illustrates the name of add-in
2161 functions, where underlined strings are generated by add-in functions.
2163 @display
2164 \begin@{table@}[ht] (Function name: YaTeX:table)
2165 ~~~~
2166 \put(100,200)@{@} (Function name: YaTeX:put)
2167 ~~~~~~~~~
2168 \sum_@{i=0@}^@{n@} (Function name: YaTeX:sum)
2169 ~~~~~~~~~~
2170 @end display
2172 Obviously, the function name is decided by concatenating the prefix
2173 `YaTeX:' and La@TeX{} command's name.
2175 Another add-in type is @dfn{argument add-in}, which completes arguments
2176 for section-type commands.
2178 @display
2179 \newcommand@{\foo@}@{bar@} (Function name: YaTeX::newcommand)
2180 ~~~~ ~~~
2181 @end display
2183 When the section-type command is inputted, the function named by
2184 concatenating `YaTeX::' and section-type command, is called automatically
2185 with an integer argument which indicates which argument of section-type
2186 command is being read. Thus the add-in should determine the
2187 job referring the value of its argument.
2189 @dfn{enclosing add-in} is for modifying and/or checking the region that
2190 will be enclosed by section-type commands via @kbd{[prefix] S}. An
2191 enclosing add-in function will be called with two arguments, beginning of
2192 the enclosed region and end of the region. Suppose you want to enclose
2193 the existing text @code{(a+b)/c} by @code{\frac@{@}}.
2195 @display
2196 a/c
2197 | |
2198 A B
2199 @end display
2201 You do set-mark-command at point A and then move to point B. Typing
2202 @kbd{[prefix] S} and input @code{frac} enclose the region like this;
2204 @display
2205 \frac@{a/c@}
2206 @end display
2208 Normally, the expression @code{a/c} is translated to
2209 @code{\frac@{a@}@{c@}}. An enclosing add-in is useful for modifying
2210 @code{/} to @code{@}@{}.

2295 YaTeX calls the add-in functions for specified begin-type, section-type,
2296 and maketitle-type command, if any. `Option add-in' functions for
2297 begin-type are called when @code{\begin@{ENV@}} has been inserted,
2298 functions for section-type are called just before input of the first
2299 argument, and functions for maketitle-type is called after maketitle-type
2300 command has been inserted. `Argument add-in' functions are called at each
2301 entry of arguments for section-type commands.

2352 @section Add-in generator
2354 First, don't forget to read the section of add-in functions @ref{Add-in
2355 functions}. If you easily understand how to define them, there's no need
2356 to read this section. But being not familiar with Emacs-Lisp, when you
2357 don't have clear idea what to do, this section describes how to get YaTeX
2358 make add-in function.
2360 There are two methods of generation. One is for fully interactive
2361 generator for beginners and another requires little knowledge of
2362 Emacs-Lisp.
2364 @subsection Generator for beginners
2365 The former generator is called by
2366 @center @kbd{M-x YaTeX-generate}
2368 @noindent
2369 strokes. All you have to do is follow the guidances. Defying them may cases
2370 the disaster (I wonder what is it???). So when you make some mistake, it
2371 is recommendable to type @kbd{C-g} and start afresh.
2373 @subsection Simple generator
2375 The latter generator is invoked by the next sequence.
2376 @center @kbd{M-x YaTeX-generate-simple}
2377 This generator can make both ``option add-in'' and ``argument add-in''
2378 (@emph{refer the section add-in functions}
2379 @ref{How the add-in function works}), whereas @code{YaTeX-generate}
2380 cannot make ``argument addin''.
2382 For example, assume you have the LaTeX command as follows.
2384 @example
2385 \epsinput[t](250,50)@{hoge.eps@}@{plain@}@{Picture of foo@}
2386 (A) (B) (1) (2) (3)
2387 (A)Optional parameter to specify the position
2388 One of t(top), b(bottom), l(left), r(right)
2389 (B)Maximum size of frame
2390 (1)1st argument is filename of EPS file
2391 (2)2nd argument indicates
2392 plain do nothing
2393 frame make frame around image
2394 dframe make double-frame around image
2395 for included EPS file.
2396 (3)Caption for the picture
2397 @end example
2399 Now get start with generation. Typing @kbd{M-x YaTeX-generate-simple}
2400 brings the prompt:
2401 @display
2402 (O)ption? (A)rgument?
2403 @end display
2405 @subsubsection Generating ``option add-in''
2406 @cindex option add-in
2408 Since (A), (B) above are optional argument, all we have to do to
2409 complete them is define the option add-in for them. Let's generate the
2410 function to complete (A).
2412 @display
2413 M-x YaTeX-generate-simple RET
2414 epsinput RET
2415 o
2416 @end display
2418 @noindent
2419 Typing as above leads the next prompt.
2421 @display
2422 Read type(1): (S)tring (C)omplete (F)ile ([)option (P)osition co(O)rd. (q)uit
2423 @end display
2425 @noindent
2426 This asks that ``Which type is the completion style of 1st argument?''.
2427 Here are the possible completion style.
2429 @table @code
2430 @item String
2431 read plain string
2432 @item Complete
2433 read with completion
2434 @item File
2435 read file name
2436 @item Option
2437 read optional string (if string omitted, omit [] too)
2438 @item Position
2439 read positional option (like [htbp])
2440 @item Coord.
2441 read coordinates
2442 @item Quit
2443 quit from generating
2444 @end table
2446 Since (A) is the optional argument to specify the location of included
2447 EPS file, the completion style is @code{Position}, and the possible
2448 characters are t, b, l, and r. To tell these information to generator,
2449 operate as follows.
2451 @display
2452 Read type(1).... p
2453 Acceptable characters: tblr RET
2454 @end display
2456 (B) is coordinate. So its completion style is coOrd. We want a prompt
2457 meaning ``Maximum size'' when completion.
2459 @display
2460 Read type(2).... o
2461 Prompt for coordinates: Max size RET
2462 @end display
2464 That's all for optional argument. Select quit.
2466 @display
2467 Read type(3).... q
2468 @end display
2470 Then the generated option add-in function for \epsinput will be shown in
2471 the next window.
2473 @subsubsection Generating ``argument add-in''
2474 @cindex argument add-in
2476 Next, create the argument add-in. The arguments for \epsinput are EPS
2477 file name, framing style, and caption string in sequence.
2479 @display
2480 M-x YaTeX-generate-simple RET
2481 epsinput RET
2482 a
2483 @end display
2485 Above key strokes bring the prompt that asks the number of argument.
2486 Answer it with 3.
2488 @display
2489 How many arguments?: 3 RET
2490 @end display
2492 Then the generator asks the completion style and prompt for completion.
2493 Answer them. @kbd{f} for FileName and prompt string.
2495 @display
2496 Read type(1).... f
2497 Prompt for argument#1 EPS file name RET
2498 @end display
2500 The second argument is one of selected symbol. So the completion type
2501 is @code{Completion}.
2503 @display
2504 Read type(2).... c
2505 Prompt for argument#2 Include style RET
2506 @end display
2508 Then all the candidates ready to be read. Type single RET after
2509 entering all.
2511 @display
2512 Item[1](RET to exit): plain RET
2513 Item[2](RET to exit): frame RET
2514 Item[3](RET to exit): dframe RET
2515 Item[4](RET to exit): RET
2516 @end display
2518 The following prompt asks whether the entered string must belong to
2519 candidates or not. In this case, since the argument must be one of
2520 @code{plain}, @code{frame}, and @code{dframe}, type @code{y}.
2522 @display
2523 Require match? (y or n) y
2524 @end display
2526 The last argument is the caption string for which any completion is
2527 needed.
2529 @display
2530 Read type(3).... s
2531 Prompt for argument#3 Caption RET
2532 default: Figure of RET
2533 @end display
2535 Finally we'll get the argument add-in in the next window.
2537 @subsection Contribution
2539 If you get your own pretty function and you let it be in public, please
2540 steel yourself in the happy atmosphere and do not send me the function.
2541 I do know it is not fine because it is generated by yatexgen:-p.

2547 The standard completion tables provided in @file{yatex.el} contain a
2548 few La@TeX{} commands I frequently use. This is to lessen the key
2549 strokes to complete entire word, because too many candidates
2550 rarely used often cause too many hits. Therefore always try to
2551 use completion in order to enrich your dictionary, and you will
2552 also find `Wild Bird' growing suitable for your La@TeX{} style.
2554 The package name `Wild Bird' is the English translation of Japanese
2555 title `Yachou', which is a trick on words of Japanese.
