8.5.4 Processing and Printing Text

8.5.4 Processing and Printing Text

In addition to marking up files for LATEX , you can process files, see your errors (if any), and invoke a viewer, all without leaving Emacs. To process a file, just type C-c C-f (for tex-file).[54] Emacs saves the file before processing it. Messages that would appear on screen are channeled to a buffer called *tex-shell*, which Emacs displays on your screen. If the buffer isn't on the screen, typing C-c C-l (for tex-recenter-output-buffer) automatically displays it.

To demonstrate, let's try processing dickens.tex, a very basic file indeed.

Type: C-c C-f


Processing a LATEX file displays a special *tex-shell* buffer.

This command generates a .dvi file, which is an intermediate, device-independent file. You can view the resulting file by typing C-c C-v. On Linux, the default viewer is xdvi. Pressing C-c C-v displays the output in an xdvi window.

Type: C-c C-v


Output displayed by xdvi.

To print the .dvi file, give the command C-c C-p (for tex-print); this formats the .dvi file and sends it to your default printer. C-c C-q(tex-show-print-queue) displays the print queue so you know when to go to the printer to look for your processed output.

Two important variables tell Emacs how to print a TEX , file. You need to know about them if C-c C-p or C-c C-q doesn't work correctly; if these commands don't work, the configuration of TEX , on your system may be nonstandard, or the print and print queue commands are slightly different. The variable tex-dvi-print-command determines the command that is used to print a .dvi file; its default is lpr -d. For print queues, the command used to show the print queue is controlled by the tex-show-queue-command variable. By default, tex-show-queue-command is set to lpq.

Table 8-9 summarizes TeX and LaTeX mode commands.
