- After my last posting about a way to preview the current buffer/master
- file in auc-tex without running TeX on the buffer first, I received
- two replies suggesting a more automatic way. I tried the first one
- (which goes into the .emacs file) and not the second one (which is a
- patch to the tex-buf.el file) but they look very similar so either
- should work.

- Try these in your .emacs...
- -----------
-
- (setq LaTeX-mode-hook
- (function
- (lambda ()
- (local-set-key "\C-c\C-p" 'my-TeX-preview)
- (local-set-key "\C-c!" 'my-TeX-print)
- ;
- ; various other Auc-TeX specific bindings here.
- ;
- ) ))
-
- (defun my-TeX-preview ()
- (interactive)
- (set-TeX-zap-file)
- (TeX-preview)
- )
-
- (defun my-TeX-print ()
- (interactive)
- (set-TeX-zap-file)
- (TeX-print)
- )
-
- (defun set-TeX-zap-file ()
- (if (not TeX-zap-file)
- (setq TeX-zap-file
- (substring buffer-file-name 0
- (string-match ".[^.]*$" buffer-file-name)) ) )
- )

- A few months ago, I made the following patches to tex-buf.el to
- fix this problem (and similarly for printing before running TeX).
-
- The version of tex-buf.el that I edited had the following header:

- Although these changes work on single file documents, they really
- should be extended to work on multi-file documents by searching for a
- %%Master: clause (this would best be done by reorganising some of the
- existing code to avoid duplication). However, I hope that you will
- find them a useful starting point. They are certainly better than
- having to type: ESC ESC (setq TeX-zap-file "filename") every time :-).
-
- Mark.
