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

164 The prefix key stroke of yatex-mode is @kbd{C-c} (Press 'C' with Control
165 key) by default. If you don't intend to change the prefix key stroke,
166 assume all @kbd{[prefix]} as @kbd{C-c} in this document. These key
167 strokes execute typeset or preview command.

184 The current editing window will be divided horizontally when you
185 invoke latex command, and log message of La@TeX{} typesetting will be
186 displayed in the other window; called typesetting buffer. The
187 typesetting buffer automatically scrolls up and traces La@TeX{}
188 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] '
196 @itemx ([prefix]+single quotation)
198 @dots{} jump to the previous error or warning
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 Since @kbd{[prefix] tr} pastes the region into the file
206 @file{texput.tex} in the current directory, you should be careful of
207 overwriting. The method of specification of the region is shown in the
208 section @xref{%#NOTATION}.
210 The documentstyle for typeset-region is the same as that of editing
211 file if you edit one file, and is the same as main file's if you
212 edit splitting files.
214 YaTeX asks you the range of dvi-printing by default. You can
215 skip this by invoking it with universal-argument as follows:
217 @example
218 C-u [prefix] tl
219 @end example
221 @node %# notation, Completion, Typesetting, Top

241 To change the typesetting command, write
243 @example
244 %#!latex-big
245 @end example
247 @noindent
248 anywhere in the source text. And if you split the source text and
249 edit subfile that should be included from main text.
251 @example
252 %#!latex main.tex
253 @end example
255 @noindent
256 will be helpful to execute latex on main file from sub text buffer. Since
257 this command line after @kbd{%#!} will be sent to shell literally, next
258 description makes it convenient to use ghostview as dvi-previewer.
260 @example
261 %#!latex main ; dvi2ps main.dvi > main
262 @end example
264 @noindent
265 Note that YaTeX assumes the component before the last period of
266 the last word in this line as base name of the main La@TeX{} source.
268 Here are the restrictions on splitting sources.
270 @itemize
271 @item All the file name should be different.
272 @item You can put split texts in sub directory, but not in
273 sub directory of sub directory.
274 @item In the main text,specify the file with relative path name
275 such as \include{chap1/sub}, when you include the file in
276 a sub-directory.
277 @item In a sub-text, write @code{%#!latex main.tex} even if @file{main.tex}
278 is in the parent directory(not %#!latex ../main.tex).

285 @cindex Fixed region
287 Typeset-region by @kbd{[prefix] tr} passes the region between point and
288 mark to typesetting command by default. But when you want to typeset
289 static region, enclose the region by @code{%#BEGIN} and @code{%#END} as
290 follows.
292 @example
293 %#BEGIN
294 TheRegionYouWantToTypesetManyTimes
295 %#END
296 @end example
298 This is the rule of deciding the region.
300 @enumerate
301 @item

320 @itemize
321 @item Between point and mark(standard method of Emacs).
322 @end itemize
323 @end enumerate
325 It is useful to write @code{%#BEGIN} in the previous line of \begin and
326 @code{%#END} in the next line of \@code{end} when you try complex
327 environment such as `tabular' many times. It is also useful to put only
328 @code{%#BEGIN} alone at the middle of very long text. Do not forget to
329 erase @code{%#BEGIN} @code{%#END} pair.

334 @cindex lpr format
336 Lpr format is specified by three Lisp variables. Here are the
337 default values of them.
339 @table @code
340 @item (1)dviprint-command-format
341 @code{"dvi2ps %f %t %s | lpr"}
342 @item (2)dviprint-from-format
343 @code{"-f %b"}
344 @item (3)dviprint-to-format
345 @code{"-t %e"}
346 @end table
348 On YaTeX-lpr, @code{%s} in (1) is replaced by the file name of main
349 text, @code{%f} by contents of (2), %t by contents of (3). At these
350 replacements, @code{%b} in (2) is also replaced by the number of beginning
351 page, @code{%e} in (3) is replaced by the number of ending page. But
352 @code{%f} and @code{%t} are ignored when you omit the range of print-out
353 by @kbd{C-u [prefix] tl}.
355 If you want to change this lpr format temporarily, put a command
356 such as follows somewhere in the text:
358 @example
359 %#LPR dvi2ps %f %t %s | 4up -page 4 | texfix | lpr -Plp2
360 @end example
362 And if you want YaTeX not to ask you the range of printing
363 out, the next example may be helpful.

487 in the minibuffer, and @code{\begin@{env@}}...\@code{\end@{env@}} will be
488 inserted in the La@TeX{} source text. If the environment you want to put
489 does not exist in the YaTeX completion table, it will be registered in the
490 user completion table. YaTeX automatically saves the user completion
491 table in the user dictionary file at exiting of emacs.
493 If you want to enclose some paragraphs which have already been
494 written, invoke the begin-type completion with changing the case
495 of @kbd{b} of key sequence upper(or invoke it with universal argument
496 by @kbd{C-u} prefix).

508 @end table
510 This enclosing holds good for the completing input by @kbd{[prefix] b
511 SPC}. @kbd{[prefix] B SPC} enclose a region with the environment selected
512 by completing-read.

522 completion, type
524 @table @kbd
525 @item [prefix] s
526 @dots{} section-type completion
527 @end table

530 then the prompt
532 @example
533 (C-v for view) \???@{@} (default documentstyle):
534 @end example
536 @noindent
537 will show up in the minibuffer. Section-type La@TeX{} commands are
538 completed by space key, and the default value is selected when you
539 type nothing in the minibuffer.
541 Next,
543 @example
544 \section@{???@}:
545 @end example
547 @noindent
548 prompts you the argument of section-type La@TeX{} command. For
549 example, the following inputs
551 @example
552 \???@{@} (default documentstyle): section
553 \section{???}: Hello world.
554 @end example
556 @noindent
557 will insert the string
559 @example
560 \section@{Hello world.@}
561 @end example
563 in your La@TeX{} source. When you neglect argument such as
565 @example
566 (C-v for view) \???@{@} (default section): vspace*
567 \vspace*@{???@}:
568 @end example
570 YaTeX puts
572 @example
573 \vspace*@{@}
574 @end example
576 @noindent
577 and move the cursor in the braces.
579 In La@TeX{} command, there are commands which take more than one
580 arguments such as @code{\addtolength{\topmargin}{8mm}}. To complete these
581 commands, invoke section-type completion with universal argument as,
582 @cindex number of argument
584 @example
585 C-u 2 [prefix] s (or ESC 2 [prefix] s)
586 @end example
588 @noindent
589 and make answers in minibuffer like this.
591 @example
592 (C-v for view) \???@{@} (default vspace*): addtolength
593 \addtolength@{???@}: \topmargin
594 Argument 2: 8mm
595 @end example
597 @code{\addtolength} and the first argument @code{\topmargin} can be typed
598 easily by completing read. Since YaTeX also learns the number of
599 arguments of section-type command and will ask that many arguments in
600 future completion, you had better tell the number of arguments to YaTeX at
601 the first completion of the new word. But you can change the number of
602 arguments by calling the completion with different universal argument
603 again.
605 The special number of argument 0 makes YaTeX use read-string to
606 read the first argument instead of completing-read. It is more
607 comfortable to enter first argument without completion when you
608 put section title which contains space character. Normally, such
609 sectioning commands as chapter, section, paragraph..., have
610 argument 0 in the completion table.
612 Invoking section-type completion with @code{[Prefix] S} (Capital `S')
613 includes the region as the first argument of section-type command.
615 The section/large/maketitle type completion can work at the
616 prompt for the argument of other section-type completion.
617 Nested La@TeX{} commands are efficiently read with the recursive
618 completion by typing YaTeX's completion key sequence in the
619 minibuffer.

769 Arrow marks, sigma mark and those signs mainly used in the
770 TeX's math environment are completed by key sequences which
771 imitate the corresponding symbols graphically. This completion
772 only works in the math environment. YaTeX automatically detects
773 whether the cursor located in math environment or not, and
774 change the behavior of key strokes @kbd{;} and @kbd{/}.
776 By the way, we often express the leftarrow mark by `<-' for example.
777 Considering such image, you can write @code{\leftarrow} by typing @kbd{<-}
778 after @kbd{;} (semicolon) as a prefix. In the same way,
779 @code{\longleftarrow} (@code{<--}) is completed by typing @kbd{;<--},
780 infinity mark which is imitated by @code{oo} is completed by typing
781 @kbd{;oo}.
783 Here are the sample operations in YaTeX math-mode.
785 @example
786 INPUT Completed La@TeX{} commands
787 ; < - @code{\leftarrow}
788 ; < - - @code{\longleftarrow}
789 ; < - - > @code{\longleftrightarrow}
790 ; o @code{\circ}
791 ; o o @code{\infty}
792 @end example
794 In any case, you can quit from image completion and can move
795 to the next editing operation if the La@TeX{} command you want is
796 shown in the buffer.
798 @code{;} itself in math-environment is inserted by @kbd{;;}. Typing
799 @kbd{TAB} in the midst of image completion shows all of the La@TeX{}
800 commands that start with the same name as string you previously typed in.
801 In this menu buffer, press @kbd{RET} after moving the cursor (by @kbd{n},
802 @kbd{p}, @kbd{b}, @kbd{f}) to insert the La@TeX{} command.
804 To know all of the completion table, type @kbd{TAB} just after @kbd{;}.
805 And here is the sample menu by @kbd{TAB} after @kbd{;<}.
807 @example
808 KEY LaTeX sequence sign
809 < \leq <
810 ~
811 << \ll <<
812 <- \leftarrow <-
813 <= \Leftarrow <=

1447 More customizations will be done by the hook-function defined in
1448 hook-variable @code{yatex-mode-hook}. This is useful to define a shortcut
1449 key sequence to enter some environments other than @code{document} and
1450 @code{enumerate} etc. The following statement defines @code{[prefix] ba}
1451 to enter @code{\begin@{abstract@}} ... @code{=end@{abstract@}}
1452 immediately.

1455 (setq yatex-mode-hook

1459 You should use functions @code{YaTeX-define-key}, or
1460 @code{YaTeX-define-begend-key} to define all the key sequences of
1461 yatex-mode.

1468 You can stuff all of YaTeX relating expressions into a file named
1469 @file{yatexhks.el} if you have a lot of codes. YaTeX automatically load
1470 this file at the initialization of itself. Using @file{yatexhks.el}
1471 makes @code{yatex-mode-load-hook} unnecessary.

1478 You can easily define a function to input detailed arguments
1479 with completion according to La@TeX{} environments or commands. To
1480 know the way to define these functions, see also @file{yatexadd.doc} in
1481 this package please.

1488 The standard completion tables provided in @file{yatex.el} contain a
1489 few La@TeX{} commands I frequently use. This is to lessen the key
1490 strokes to complete entire word, because too many candidates
1491 rarely used often cause too many hits. Therefore always try to
1492 use completion in order to enrich your dictionary, and you will
1493 also find `Wild Bird' growing suitable for your La@TeX{} style.
