Re: TeX-command-master

Greetings, I put out a question a couple of weeks ago about setting one option within AucTeX, got some intelligent responses, and then found myself so buried in work that I've been unable to follow through. I'm back. To cut straight to the point, yes, Uwe and Stephen are correct -- I need to run M-x customize-option on TeX-command-list. I hate it when I'm so baffled that I don't even know the right questions to ask. So I run M-x customize-option for TeX-command-list and see that for View the Command is set to the string "%V". That's what I want to set. Say I'm working in AucTeX (11.84 -- Uwe asked what version) on a LaTeX file RedMars.tex (which I am). I use C-c C-c to run TeX-command-master and it runs pdflatex on the file. All is well and good so far. Then I run C-c C-c again to View it, and without having set the option that %V evaluates to: xpdf -remote RedMars -raise RedMars.pdf I don't know that I even have xpdf on the system. I can go in there and substitute "open" for everything from xpdf through -raise and it works. Which is great. But it isn't saved that way, which is what I'm trying to accomplish. "open" from a bash command line in Mac OS X is how I view PDF files probably half the time. In fact, I use "open" for most any kind of application generated data file to open it in whatever application makes use of it. If I replace the %V with a hard-coded "open", it loses the options. That's my problem. It needs to also plug in the name of the PDF file that I want to view. So that's my original question. That's exactly what I want to happen. I have a note in my startups (an array of eight or ten files triggered by the usual init.el) that I used to have a file called options.el but it's obsolete, and now I have something called inito.el. Apparently I created that myself, but I don't even remember. I last went through all my startups and streamlined them on January 27, 2013 according to the file date stamps. Everything has just worked since then. Anyhow, I can certainly find a place for it. But this one thing I would like to adjust. -- Lynn David Newton Columbus, Ohio neologisticsediting.com lynndavidnewton.com _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
