![]() Understand the difference between an end-of-sentence period and a period used in an abbreviation, and how LaTeX distinguishes these.This makes it much easier to modify an equation later. Take particular care with equations, and use line breaks and proper indentation to keep the LaTeX source readable (similar to what you would do when writing code). When using AUCTeX (see above), take advantage of the LaTeX-aware paragraph rewrapping command (alt-q). Make sure to keep your LaTeX file cleanly formatted (i.e., human readable).On Linux, Acrobat offers the Ctrl-R command for reloads (remarkably, this functionality seems not to be available in the OS X and Windows versions of the same program). On Linux, Okular does the same, and is generally an excellent and fast program for viewing and marking PDF files. On OS X, Skim can detect automatically whether a LaTeX file has been recompiled. It is convenient to use a PDF viewer that can reload a PDF file without restarting.Then select "auctex" and choose "Install." The easiest way to install AUCTeX is from within Emacs: Do "M-x list-packages RET" (e.g., on OS X this would be: Option-X list-packages ). (Note: if you wish to use this OS X version from the command line, add this line to ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile: alias emacs='/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs') ![]() ![]() GNU Emacs for OS X can be downloaded here. A particularly powerful combination is Emacs + AUCTeX.
