There are some very simple plugins for eclipse, but winedt would be the main competitor in the windows world for latex. I think the situation for people who could see the idea behind emacs is that they have a need for an editor for either a programming language or latex. But to me it was just too crunchy a bite to start out on both latex and emacs in one go. So I wasted years working with winedt for latex (and configuring it for metapost) and programmers file editor for fortran. If emacs had looked a little more like what I knew then (notepad and word perfect) I could have chewed it. My experience says that this is what other windows people who should start programming or latexing also could benefit from. A look and feel like winedt or eclipse but with the possibility for the conventional emacs look and access to all the emacs modes and features would be close to a perfect world for me. I have no idea what it would take of programming efforts, but as long the horisontal scroll is not available, I am speaking about a project of eons. -- Brian (remove the sport for mail) http://www.et.dtu.dk/staff/be/be.html _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
