Questions tagged [tex-mode]

The basic major mode for (La)TeX included in GNU Emacs. Not to be confused with AUCTeX, a common third-party package.

TeX mode is a family of major modes to edit files for the TeX document processing system, including latex-mode for LaTeX files. It is included in GNU Emacs.

Use this tag for questions about the TeX Mode family (plain-tex-mode, latex-mode, slitex-mode, doctex-mode). For questions about TeX documents in general, see . For questions about LaTeX documents in general, see .
