preview-latex
Activation
preview-latex is part of AUCTEX. If it is active, you should a see an entry Preview in the menu bar when editing L TEX les. If you have a LaTeX, but no Preview menu, add the following to your .emacs le: (load "preview-latex.el" nil t t)
a Customization from LTEX Customization is done in the document preamble (you need to load preview.sty explicitly) or in prauctex.cfg (which should load the system prauctex.cfg rst). Commands: Preview macro \PreviewMacro[{ args }]{ macro } Preview env \PreviewEnvironment[{ args }]{ env } Skip macro \PreviewMacro*[{ args }]{ macro } Skip env \PreviewEnvironment*[{ args }]{ env } Diverting material from oat environments Snarf stu \PreviewSnarfEnvironment[{ args }]{ env } Values to be used within args : Optional argument [] Mandatory argument {} Optional star * Conditionals ? token { if found }{ if not found } Skip next token Transformation #{ macro args }{ replacement } More options and explanations can be found in preview.dvi or the Texinfo manual.
RefTeX
Activation
RefTeX is part of [X]Emacs. To activate and make it interact with AUCTeX, insert the following lines in .emacs. (add-hook latex-mode-hook turn-on-reftex) (add-hook LaTeX-mode-hook turn-on-reftex) (setq reftex-plug-into-auctex t)
Table of Contents
The table of contents is a structured view of the entire document. It contains the sections, and optionally labels, index entries, and le boundaries. Show the table of contents1 C-c = Recenter *toc* buer to here1 C-c -
Usage and keybindings

preview-latex operation only aects the display of the buer, not its contents. It runs only on demand, using the target dvi or PDF les in the process. The rst command in the following list (also on the toolbar button) will (as applicable) repreview an active region or a single modied preview, toggle the visibility of an unmodied preview or generate previews for a surrounding buer area up to the next preview. Preview at point Preview environment Preview region Preview buer Preview document Remove previews at point Remove previews from region Remove previews from buer Remove previews from document Cache preamble Switch o preamble cache Read Texinfo manual Copy region as MML C-c C-c C-c C-c C-c C-c C-c C-c C-c C-c C-c C-c C-c C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-e C-r C-b C-d C-c C-c C-c C-c C-f C-c TAB C-w

Standard keys in special buers

RefTeXs special buers have many active keys. The common ones are: Display summary of active keys ? Select this item RET Rescan the document r Display location in other window SPC Follow mode f
The last keysequence will copy a region with previews into the kill buer in a form t for sending in Emacs message-mode.
Outlining TEX Documents

AUCTEX supports outline mode by dening section, subsection, etc. as heading levels. You can use M-x outline-minormode RET to toggle outline minor mode. All outline minor mode commands are under the prex key specied by outline-minormode-prex, default is C-c @. Hide all of buer except headings Show all text in buer Hide body following this heading Show body following this heading Hide subtree Show subtree All subheadings visible next visible heading previous visible heading forward to next subheading backward to next subheading up one heading level C-c C-c C-c C-c C-c C-c C-c C-c C-c C-c C-c C-c @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ C-t C-a C-c C-e C-d C-s C-k C-n C-p C-f C-b C-u
Customization within Emacs

You can use M-x customize-variable RET or the Preview/ Customize menu for customization. Worthwhile settings: If you have dvipng available: Set to dvipng
Multile actions
Since RefTeX scans the entire (multile) document, it can provide commands that act on all les of a document. Check the Ref->Global Actions menu for these commands.
Variables
To tell reftex about your own macro denitions, customize the variables reftex-label-alist reftex-section-lecels reftex-index-macros reftex-cite-format
1 An argument of C-u triggers a document scan rst.
preview-image-type
Keep counter values when regenerating single previews: Set to t preview-preserve-counters Cache/Dont cache preamble without query (preamble caching is done using mylatex.ltx and might not always work. Use the appropriate key sequences for overriding the following setting): Set to t/nil preview-auto-cache-preamble
This can be necessary if le content and RefTeXs knowledge are no longer consistent.
