27.11 TeX ModeTeX is a powerful text formatter written by Donald Knuth; like GNU Emacs, it is free software. The TeX format has several variants, including LaTeX, a simplified input format for TeX; DocTeX, a special file format in which the LaTeX sources are written, combining sources with documentation; and SliTeX, an obsolete special form of LaTeX13.
Emacs provides a TeX major mode for each of these variants: Plain TeX mode, LaTeX mode, DocTeX mode, and SliTeX mode. Emacs selects the appropriate mode by looking at the contents of the buffer. (This is done by invoking the tex-mode
command, which is normally called automatically when you visit a TeX-like file. See Choosing File Modes.) If the contents are insufficient to determine this, Emacs chooses the mode specified by the variable tex-default-mode
; its default value is latex-mode
. If Emacs does not guess right, you can select the correct variant of TeX mode using the commands plain-tex-mode
, latex-mode
, slitex-mode
, or doctex-mode
.
The following sections document the features of TeX mode and its variants. There are several other TeX-related Emacs packages, which are not documented in this manual:
