Dear Kresten,
Thanks for the manual of AucTex.
Well, if anybody knows how to actually reach Kresten these days, I'd
not mind getting a pointer.
I have used Emacs and MikTex on Windows for a long time. Now I want
the function of viewing the print output of a small Tex region
without compiling the whole document.
Is this function available in Emacs itself without AucTex?
Uh, actually I don't know. After all, this _is_ the AUCTeX users'
list.
There is a menu in Emacs "Tex --> Tex Region", but I can't make it
work.
It is likely that it requires the
\begin{document}
and
\end{document}
to be on a line of their own, without indentation and in exactly that
form. And in the file that you are wanting to compile. If this is
already the case, I am out of guesses.
AUCTeX will, by the way, have similar requirements to get this to
work.
1. Is the "MSYS tool set" in your manual the "MSYS-1.0.10.exe" from
<http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435>, or the
"msysDTK-1.0.1.exe"? I downloaded and ran the "MSYS-1.0.10.exe".
Sounds ok.
2. The GNU EMacs and MikTex are already in my machine. I can't carry
out the step 5 (page 8) in your manual and need more details
there. To have "bash", there is no .exe from
<http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/>, only source code. And itself has a
"configure" in its directory. Could you help me to be able to
takeoff in step 5?
MSYS, when installed, places an icon on your desktop. Double-click on
that icon, and this starts a "bash" shell.
