Dear developers,
many thanks for Skim, great tool. I co-maintain the AUCTeX package for
Emacs and it occurred to me that the entry "Setting up Emacs" on this
page[1] is obsolete. Currently, it reads:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; The following only works with AUCTeX loaded
(require 'tex-site)
(add-hook 'TeX-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(add-to-list 'TeX-output-view-style
'("^pdf$" "."
"/Applications/Skim.app/Contents/SharedSupport/displayline %n %o
%b"))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
The variable `TeX-output-view-style' is removed from AUCTeX after being
marked obsolete for some years. The current method for setting up Skim
with AUCTeX is:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; The following only works with AUCTeX loaded
(setq TeX-view-program-selection '((output-pdf "displayline")))
(setq TeX-view-program-list
'(("displayline"
"/Applications/Skim.app/Contents/SharedSupport/displayline %n %o %b"
"displayline")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Also, the following hint isn't necessary as well:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; Use PDF mode by default
(setq-default TeX-PDF-mode t)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
That mode is on by default and AUCTeX generates a .pdf.
I also suggest not to advertise (require 'tex-site) since this way of
loading AUCTeX is also declared obsolete for many years now. Actually,
users who install AUCTeX via Emacs package manager from ELPA don't need
to activate the package at all, but that's not relevant for your wiki, I
guess.
I don't have a SF-account, so I can't suggest a change for the page
there, maybe you can consider the suggestion above. TIA.
Best, Arash
