AUC TeX is a TeX and LaTeX environment for GNU Emacs.
The main addition in version 7.2 is menu support for Lucid and FSF
Emacs 19, but there are also many minor bug fixes and enhancements.
See below for a full list.
AUC TeX features:
* Source formatting and indentation of LaTeX files.
* Smart keyboard functions for insertion of all LaTeX macros and
environments. The functions will prompt for any arguments to the
macros, and provide completion for most of them.
* Outlines and folding based on the LaTeX sectioning macros. Not
supported for Lucid Emacs, as it lacks the necessary capabilities.
* You can run all TeX and LaTeX related commands from within Emacs.
AUC TeX will translate the obscure TeX and LaTeX error messages into
English or Japanese, and automatically position the cursor at the
offending lines.
* AUC TeX support multi-file documents. Examples:
- When you run TeX or LaTeX, AUC TeX will always chose the main file
of the document.
- When you insert a reference (\ref), AUC TeX will complete with all
labels definied anywhere in the document.
* AUC TeX will automatically parse and extract information from tex
and sty files, both for the site and for your own files. This is how
it knows what macros, labels, files, etc. you use in the current
document.
* You can learn AUC TeX incrementally, and you can just use the
features you like, and ignore the rest.
* A 70+ pages user manual and a 1 page reference card are included.

News in 7.2
===========
Coordinater: Per Abrahamsen, 1993
* `LaTeX-dead-mode' works again. Thanks to Patrick O'Callaghan
`<poc@usb.ve>' for fixing it.
* Minor fixes to the documentation. Thanks to Shinji Kobayashi
`<koba@flab.fujitsu.co.jp>'.
* Add `Compiling' to the mode line of all buffers, while there is a
AUC TeX compilation process running. This is similar to the
behavior of `compile' in Emacs 19.
* `TeX-normal-mode' will now save the buffer first to make sure it
gets reparsed.
* Labels with underscores are now recognized. Thanks to Wolfgang
Franzki `<W.Franzki@kfa-juelich.de>'
* Fix to `ghostview' printer specification. Thanks to Masayuki
Kuwada `<kuwada@soliton.ee.uec.ac.jp>'.
* Recognize `abstract', `center', `titlepage', `verse', and
`theindex' environments. Thanks to Masayuki Kuwada
`<kuwada@soliton.ee.uec.ac.jp>'.
* Fix to `newsavebox' macro. Thanks to Shinji Kobayashi
`<koba@flab.fujitsu.co.jp>' for reporting this.
* Menu support for GNU Emacs 19 and Lucid Emacs. Thanks to
Alastair Burt `<burt@dfki.uni-kl.de>' for the initial Lucid Emacs
version.
* `C-c C-f C-d' now deletes the current font. The current font is
defined to be the innermost TeX group starting with a TeX macro
that is terminated by a space.
* Giving `C-c C-f' a prefix argument will replace the current font,
i.e. `C-u C-c C-f C-b' will change the current font to bold.
The old functionality (putting the font around the region) has
been removed. To make the region bold, type `C-w C-c C-f C-b C-y'
instead.
* Chapter recognized as largest heading in the report style.
Thanks to Shinji Kobayashi `<koba@flab.fujitsu.co.jp>' for
reporting this.
* More support for Japanese style files. Thanks to Shinji Kobayashi
`<koba@flab.fujitsu.co.jp>'.
* No longer put `Outline' in the mode line whenever
`selective-display' is set. Thanks to Lawrence R. Dodd
`<dodd@roebling.poly.edu>' for reporting this.
* Support for inserting calligraphic letters in `TeX-math-mode' with
`` c LETTER'. Thanks to Olaf Burkart
`<burkart@zeus.informatik.rwth-aachen.de>'.
* `set-docstring' in `tex-math.el' should work better now. Thanks
to Alastair Burt `<burt@dfki.uni-kl.de>' and Olaf Burkart
`<burkart@zeus.informatik.rwth-aachen.de>'.
* Support for dviout preview on PC-9801. Thanks to Shinji Kobayashi
`<koba@flab.fujitsu.co.jp>'.
* Inserting environment in empty buffer should work now. Thanks to
Alastair Burt `<burt@dfki.uni-kl.de>'.
* Default float for figures changed from `tbp' to `htbp'.
* `LaTeX-format-environment' may work now. Thanks to Shinji
Kobayashi `<koba@flab.fujitsu.co.jp>'.
* Better `LaTeX-close-environment'. Thanks to Thorbjoern Hansen
`<thansen@diku.dk>'.
* Some support for Ispell 4.0.
* BibTeX in Emacs 19 need `tex-insert-quote', make it autoload from
AUC TeX instead of the standard `tex-mode'.
* `TeX-auto-generate' failed when repeated. Thanks to Peter Whaite
`<peta@Thunder.McRCIM.McGill.EDU>' for reporting this.
