This +userguide is available from ([ebf]html +http://www.glue.umd.edu/\symbol{126}deego/emacspub/autoview/usrguide/usrguide.html[eef]). + +While you are editing your file.tex, autoview will (run in a separate +emacs and) continually, intelligently, and automatically keep +processing your latex file, generate a .ps file and gv (view) the file +for you.. You can modify it to suit your needs.. + +\section{Customizing it} +Edit autoview and (setq) the *directory* and *file* to whatever file +you are editing nowadays. NOTE: *file* is the *file* without the +extension. If you like, {\bf setq} the view-command and shell-command +to what you want. Else they will be {\bf {\it bind}}-ed to their +default values based on the *file* and *directory* you provide. + +IF you have any problems, please feel free to contact the author. + + +Autoview processes the file only if it finds that the file has been +updated (saved!) since it was last processed. It checks for the file +every *repeattime* seconds. Other minor options are not worth going +into. + + +I would appreciate feedback. If you find at any place that a +particular choice should have been made available to the user, +please let me know... Your contributions are most welcome. + +\section{Running it} +Please either: +\begin{itemize} + +\item{download runauto.r from the autoview homepage, and add this to +your .aliases: +\begin{verbatim} +alias elatstart 'source ~/runauto.r' +\end{verbatim} +} +\item{ +or add this to your .aliases or .login (assumes tcsh) + +\begin{verbatim} +alias elatstart ' /usr/local/bin/emacs20 -i -q \\ +-l ~/emacs/emacspub/autoview.el -title ELAT -fn 6x13 -geometry \\ +90x35+1400+1000 -bg LightGreen -f elatstart &' +\end{verbatim} +Then, typing elatstart will run autoview for you. + +Please don't forget to change the names of the directories to the ones +on your local system. + +{\bf {\large PLEASE edit autoview.el and find where I load *my* profile. You probably + don't want that. Change that to (load "generalprofile.el"). And don't + forget to download this generalprofile.el as well. }} + + } +\end{itemize} + +\section{Other features} +Oh, did I mention that the processing is a bit smart in another +way. If an error occurs, it stops execution there, and tries to take +you to where the error occurred. Latex does not output any unique +error-string, so it tries to detect several strings: ``Undefined +symbol'', ``Error'' etc. + + + +\end{document}
