distribution of AUCTeX and built-in TeX/LaTeX modes

2024-05-27 Thread Jeremy Bryant
The Emacs manual says • The AUCTeX package provides more advanced features for editing TeX and its related formats, including the ability to preview TeX equations within Emacs buffers. Unlike BibTeX mode and the RefTeX package, AUCTeX is not distributed with Emacs by default.

Status of AUCTeX and preview-auto

2024-06-29 Thread Jeremy Bryant
Having tested Paul's preview-auto package, this would be a clear candidate for either merging or at least distribution with AUCTeX. Is there a mathematician that would write TeX and use preview but not use preview-auto?

Hi, reftex.el in Emacs core is listed as having maintainer: auctex-devel@gnu.org I have been working on a checkdoc patch for reftex, presumably this will be reviewed here? Or submitted as a patch to bug-gnu-emacs including auctex-devel? What will be the commit mechanism? Thanks for any info.
