In order to benefit from several setting used below, you are urged to
use c:\texmf as root directory of MiKTEX.
If you do
not want to do this, then you should consult yourself the manuals
to see what else
should be modified too.
dvi preview with
YAP (Yet Another Previewer).
c:\texmf\doc\miktex\
(miktex.html or miktex.hlp or
miktex.pdf).
c:\localtexmf can be created.
It is recommended to use this local
texmf tree for personal use (additional style files, etc.). See point
2 (Input directory) below.
PATH has to be defined as follows:
autoexec.bat:
set PATH=%PATH%;c:\texmf\miktex\bin.
<Control Pannel>,
<System>, <Environment>.

%PATH%;c:\texmf\miktex\bin.
<OK>.
c:\texmf\tex\latex, c:\texmf\tex\generic
and its subdirectories. By default, additional
missing style files (.sty,
.tex, and .cls),
unpacked packages etc are to
be put in these directories. The directory c:\loacaltexmf can
be used for adding personal files. Then they should be placed in
c:\localtexmf\tex\latex, c:\localtexmf\tex\generic
and its subdirectories.
c:\texmf\tex\plain and its subdirectories.

Emacs will run with the selected file in a buffer.
The default latex major mode should be selected. This is not yet the

.tex-file is located
in a path containing a directory with spaces in its name. Avoid
this!
C-x is a simultaneous keypress of the <Control> and the

Because the specific Major-mode setting of AUC-TEX is rather large, it is defined in another lisp file, namely
tex-site.el (next
item); this is loaded with the last command of _emacs.
Remark: this INIT-file will only be loaded if the HOME
variable has been set properly to the NTemacs root directory.
Therefore

HOME directory is called ~\ or
~/.
(load "~/site-lisp/tex-site"), save that file
as .emacs (or _emacs) in ~\, and double click on
a .tex file. This file should be loaded in an emacs buffer
without
any error interruption. Comments can be observed in the
<Buffer>, <Messages>.
<Home> and <End>. The default
behavior of NTemacs is to jump to the beginning and the end of the
buffer.
However, since these keys are redefined in the INIT file, its behavior
should be a jump to the beginning and the end of the actual line.

If you install NTemacs on another disk than c: the hard
disk drive letter c: should be changed in the
definition of the variable TeX-macro-global.
In very rare cases two problems can occur
with this tex-site.el (They can be cast back to the different
shell
that is used by the OS.). If you are in emacs, and you launch the
latex compiler by using e.g. 'C-c C-c', then the
LaTeX-command
is executed in a shell. This LaTeX-command is defined in the
TeX-command-list in tex-site.el by the sentence:
(list(list "LaTeX" "latex \\nonstopmode\\input{%t}"
'Running `LaTeX' on `filename' with ``latex nonstopmodeinputfilename.tex''',
(list(list "LaTeX" "latex \\\\nonstopmode\\\\input{%t}".
.
'Running `LaTeX' on `filename' with ``latex \nonstopmode\input{filename.tex.tex}''',
%s instead of %t.
If you don't have ghostview for PC (gsview32.exe), please read
also the next section.

or with C-h i: To achive this, load the file
c:\emacs\info\dir in your favorite editor (emacs) and
append in this file the following:
* AUCTeX: (c:/emacs/site-lisp/auctex/doc/auctex) AUC TeX. Improved TeX/LaTeX mode
tex-site in the INIT file, and
save it again.
Then double-click on a .tex file. Emacs starts and _emacs
is executed (and consequently also tex-site.el).
Since a .tex file is selected, this file will be placed in a
buffer using the major mode of AUC-TEX
<Buffers>,
<Messages>.
Please read c:\emacs\site-lisp\auctex\Readme
for an efficient use of AUC-TEX.
E.g. 'C-c C-c' will start the latex compilation in
nonstopmode. After compilation, errors
can be retrieved with 'C-c `'. If no more errors occur and if all
cross references are well defined, a 'C-c C-c' will launch the
previewer of your choice. Etc.
If you want an efficient LATEX macro completion in
AUC-TEX ('parsing' facility of LATEX macros, style files and
classes),
be sure that TeX-macro-global is set properly, and
invoke
M-x TeX-auto-generate-global.
Then in the directory ~\site-lisp\auctex\auto\ the accompanying
lisp files are saved.
