There are two ways to run an external command, you can either run it on
the current document with TeX-command-master
, or on the current
region with TeX-command-region
. A special case of running TeX
on a region is TeX-command-buffer
which differs from
TeX-command-master
if the current buffer is not its own master
file.
(C-c C-c) Query the user for a command, and run it on the master
file associated with the current buffer. The name of the master file is
controlled by the variable TeX-master
. The available commands are
controlled by the variable TeX-command-list
.
(C-c C-r) Query the user for a command, and run it on the contents
of the selected region. The region contents are written into the region
file, after extracting the header and trailer from the master file. If
mark is inactive (which can happen with Transient Mark mode), use the
old region. See also the command TeX-pin-region
about how to fix
a region.
The name of the region file is controlled by the variable
TeX-region
. The name of the master file is controlled by the
variable TeX-master
. The header is all text up to the line
matching the regular expression TeX-header-end
. The trailer is
all text from the line matching the regular expression
TeX-trailer-start
. The available commands are controlled by the
variable TeX-command-list
.
(C-c C-b) Query the user for a command, and apply it to the contents of the current buffer. The buffer contents are written into the region file, after extracting the header and trailer from the master file. The command is then actually run on the region file. See above for details.
(C-c C-z) Query the user for a command, and apply it to the
current section (or part, chapter, subsection, paragraph, or
subparagraph). What makes the current section is determined by
LaTeX-command-section-level
which can be enlarged/shrunken using
LaTeX-command-section-change-level
(C-c M-z). The given
numeric prefix arg is added to the current value of
LaTeX-command-section-level
. By default,
LaTeX-command-section-level
is initialized with the current
document’s LaTeX-largest-level
. The buffer contents are written
into the region file, after extracting the header and trailer from the
master file. The command is then actually run on the region file. See
TeX-command-region
for details.
It is also possible to compile automatically the whole document until it
is ready with a single command: TeX-command-run-all
.
(C-c C-a) Compile the current document until an error occurs or it is finished. If compilation finishes successfully, run the viewer at the end.
Here are some relevant variables.
The name of the file for temporarily storing the text when formatting the current region.
A regular expression matching the end of the header. By default, this is ‘\begin{document}’ in LaTeX mode and ‘%**end of header’ in plain TeX mode.
A regular expression matching the start of the trailer. By default, this is ‘\end{document}’ in LaTeX mode and ‘\bye’ in plain TeX mode.
If you want to change the values of TeX-header-end
and
TeX-trailer-start
you can do this for all files by setting the
variables in a mode hook or per file by specifying them as file
variables (see (emacs)File Variables section ‘File Variables’ in The Emacs Editor).
(C-c C-t C-r) If you don’t have a mode like Transient Mark mode
active, where marks get disabled automatically, the region would need to
get properly set before each call to TeX-command-region
. If you
fix the current region with C-c C-t C-r, then it will get used for
more commands even though mark and point may change. An explicitly
activated mark, however, will always define a new region when calling
TeX-command-region
.
If the last process you started was on the region, the commands described in Debugging and Control will work on that process, otherwise they will work on the process associated with the current document.
Don’t run more than one process at the same time. AUCTeX doesn’t support simultaneous typeset including region typeset. Wait for the previous process to finish before you start a new process, in particular when you are editing multiple documents in parallel. This limitation applies for preview by preview-latex as well.
