Ok, this very much looks like you use the builtin TeX mode of Emacs. I would very much suggest that you try using AUCTeX <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex>. This is reasonably easy, since we provide a SuSE RPM at <URL:ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/auctex>. AUCTeX in its current versions will usually guess from package options in the preamble whether to use LaTeX or PDFLaTeX, and you can easily switch between the two manually, too. C-c C-v will start the respective viewer, but the usual "dispatcher" uses C-c C-c RET instead of C-c C-f. One can get used to it. Apart from better indentation and formatting, you get a lot of document-sensitive help for inputting stuff. It is really worth a try. Even preview-latex <URL:http://preview-latex.sourceforge.net> works with PDFLaTeX by now. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
