Working with TeX documents

TeX document typesetting system. It is often used to typeset scientific or technical books and articles, usually with the LaTeX macro package.

Use this tag for general questions about working with TeX documents in Emacs. There are two modes for working with TeX documents:

  • The basic tex-mode package included in GNU Emacs. Use the tag for questions about this mode.
  • The more elaborate AUCTeX third-party package (included in XEmacs). AUCTeX provides more advanced features including syntax highlighting and completion of macros in third-party packages, better support for complex compilations, preview of mathematics, etc. Use the tag for questions about AUCTeX.

For questions about (La)TeX and companion tools that are not related to Emacs, see TeX - LaTeX Stack Exchange.

How can I preview TeX formulas inline in arbitrary modes?

How can I get TeX previews inside modes other than AUCTeX or org-mode? I'd love to see TeX equations in jabber, erc and markdown. If I ever switch to Emacs for email, I'd presumably like to see previews there too.

Search and replace TeX \over with LaTeX \frac

I have a source file that was originally coded in TeX (well, this is actually a conTeXt file). A fraction like 1/(2/x^2) is coded as {1 \over {2 \over x^2}}. I'd like to convert to LaTeX syntax, that is \frac{1}{\frac{2}{x^2}}. Any hints? Thanks.

AUCTeX: only use monospace for rendering macros?

I've been using the fontify features of AUCTeX, as well as magic-latex-buffer, to display my TeX code in a more readable way. But I'm wondering if I can crank this up to 11: is there a way to render the document text in a variable width font, but…
