Changes and New Features in AUCTeX ********************************** News in 11.50 ============= * The use of source specials when processing or viewing the document can now be controlled with the new `TeX-source-specials' minor mode which can be toggled via an entry in the Command menu or the key binding `C-c C-t C-s'. If you have customized the variable `TeX-command-list', you have to re-initialize it for this to work. This means to open a customization buffer for the variable by typing `M-x customize-variable RET TeX-command-list RET', selecting "Erase Customization" and do your customization again with the new default. * The content of the command menu now depends on the mode (plain TeX, LaTeX, ConTeXt etc.). Any former customization of the variable `TeX-command-list' has to be erased. Otherwise the command menu and the customization will not work correctly. * Support for hiding and auto-revealing macros, e.g. footnotes or citations, and environments in a buffer was added, *Note Folding::. * You can now control if indentation is done upon typing by customizing the variable `TeX-newline-function', *Note Indenting::. * Limited support for `doc.sty' and `ltxdoc.cls' (`dtx' files) was added. The new docTeX mode provides functionality for editing documentation parts. This includes formatting (indenting and filling), adding and completion of macros and environments while staying in comments as well as syntax highlighting. (Please note that the mode is not finished yet. For example syntax highlighting does not work yet in XEmacs.) * For macro completion in docTeX mode the AUCTeX style files `doc.el', `ltxdoc.el' and `ltx-base.el' were included. The latter provides general support for low-level LaTeX macros and may be used with LaTeX class and style files as well. It is currently not loaded automatically for those files. * Support for ConTeXt with a separate ConTeXt mode is now included. Macro definitions for completion are available in Dutch and English. * The filling and indentation code was overhauled and is now able to format commented parts of the source syntactically correct. Newly available functionality and customization options are explained in the manual. * Filling and indentation in XEmacs with preview-latex and activated previews lead to the insertion of whitespace before multi-line previews. AUCTeX now contains facilities to prevent this problem. * If `TeX-master' is set to `t', AUCTeX will now query for a master file only when a new file is opened. Existing files will be left alone. The new function `TeX-master-file-ask' (bound to `C-c _' is provided for adding the variable manually. * Sectioning commands are now shown in a larger font on display devices which support such fontification. The variable `font-latex-title-fontity' can be customized to restore the old appearance, i.e. the usage of a different color instead of a change in size. * Support for `alphanum.sty', `beamer.cls', `booktabs.sty', `captcont.sty', `emp.sty', `paralist.sty', `subfigure.sty' and `units.sty'/`nicefrac.sty' was added. Credits go to the authors mentioned in the respective AUCTeX style files. * Inserting graphics with `C-c RET \includegraphics RET' was improved. See the variable `LaTeX-includegraphics-options-alist'. * If `LaTeX-default-position' is `nil', don't prompt for position arguments in Tabular-like environments, see *Note Tabular-like::. * Completion for available packages when using `C-c RET \usepackage RET' was improved on systems using the kpathsea library. * The commenting functionality was fixed. The separate functions for commenting and uncommenting were unified in one function for paragraphs and regions respectively which do both. * Syntax highlighting can be customized to fontify quotes delimited by either >>German<< or <> quotation marks by changing the variable `font-latex-quotes'. * Certain TeX/LaTeX keywords for functions, references, variables and warnings will now be fontified specially. You may add your own keywords by customizing the variables `font-latex-match-function-keywords', `font-latex-match-reference-keywords', `font-latex-match-variable-keywords' and `font-latex-match-warning-keywords'. * If you include the style files `german' or `ngerman' in a document (directly or via the `babel' package), you should now customize `LaTeX-german-open-quote', `LaTeX-german-close-quote' and `LaTeX-german-quote-after-quote' instead of `TeX-open-quote', `TeX-close-quote' and `TeX-quote-after-quote' if you want to influence the type of quote insertion. * Upon viewing an output file, the right viewer and command line options for it are now determined automatically by looking at the extension of the output file and certain options used in the source file. The behavior can be adapted or extended respectively by customizing the variable `TeX-output-view-style'. * You can control whether `TeX-insert-macro' (`C-c RET') ask for all optional arguments by customizing the variable `TeX-insert-macro-default-style', *Note Completion::. * `TeX-run-discard' is now able to completely detach a process that it started. * The build process was enhanced and is now based on `autoconf' making installing AUCTeX a mostly automatic process. See *Note Installation:: and *Note Installation under MS Windows:: for details. News in 11.14 ============= * Many more LaTeX and LaTeX2e commands are supported. Done by Masayuki Ataka News in 11.12 ============= * Support for the KOMA-Script classes. Contributed by Mark Trettin . News in 11.11 ============= * Support for `prosper.sty', see . Contributed by Phillip Lord . News in 11.10 ============= * `comment-region' now inserts %% by default. Suggested by "Davide G. M. Salvetti" . News in 11.06 ============= * You can now switch between using the `font-latex' (all emacsen), the `tex-font' (Emacs 21 only) or no special package for font locking. Customize `TeX-install-font-lock' for this. News in 11.04 ============= * Now use -t landscape by default when landscape option appears. Suggested by Erik Frisk . News in 11.03 ============= * Use `tex-fptex.el' for fpTeX support. Contributed by Fabrice Popineau . News in 11.02 ============= * New user option `LaTeX-top-caption-list' specifies environments where the caption should go at top. Contributed by ataka@milk.freemail.ne.jp (Masayuki Ataka). * Allow explicit dimensions in `graphicx.sty'.
