Is there |> any Lisp patch out there to prettify LaTeX files? I asked the same question about a month ago. The only aswer I got was to use the AUC-TEX package with Emacs. This works nice (but it is a bit slow since it builds parse-trees etc for the document) The is a special function LaTeX-fill-buffer to reformat your whole buffer but this may (or will?) destroy your verbatim and table/tabular formatting. I suggest to use the LaTeX-fill-paragraph function (in AUC-TEX mode bound to M-q) to reformat every paragraph manually since you will have more control that way (it's a little more work but it's worth it).
