*** AUC-TeX for GNU Emacs

AUC-TeX is a comprehensive customizable integrated environment for
writing input files for LaTeX using GNU Emacs.

AUC-TeX lets you run TeX/LaTeX and other LaTeX-related tools, such as
a output filters or post processor from inside Emacs.  Especially
`running LaTeX' is interesting, as AUC-TeX let's you browse through
the errors TeX reported, while it moves the cursor directly to the
reported error, and displays some documentation for that particular
error.  This will even work when the document is spread over several
files.

AUC-TeX automatically indents your `LaTeX-source', not only as you
write it---you can also let it indent and format an entire document.
It has a special outline feature, which can greatly help you `getting
the overview' of a document.

Apart from these special features, AUC-TeX provides an large range of
handy Emacs macros, which in several different ways can help you
write your LaTeX documents fast and painless.

All features of AUC-TeX are documented using the GNU Emacs online
documentation system.  That is, documentation for any command is just
a key click away!

AUC-TeX is written entirely in Emacs-Lisp, and hence you can easily
add new features for your own needs.  It was not made as part of any
particular employment or project (apart from the AUC-TeX project
itself).  AUC-TeX is distributed under the `GNU Emacs General Public
License' and may therefore almost freely be copied and redistributed.
