AUCTeX
AUCTeX is a comprehensive customizable integrated environment
for writing input files for TeX / LaTeX / ConTeXt / Texinfo using Emacs.
The software lets you process your source files by running TeX
and related tools (such as output filters, post processors for
generating indices and bibliographies, and viewers) from inside Emacs.
AUCTeX lets users browse through the errors TeX reported, while it
moves the cursor directly to the reported error, and displays some
documentation for that particular error. This will even work when the
document is spread over several files.
One component of AUCTeX that LaTeX users will find attractive
is preview-latex, a combination of folding and in-source previewing
that provides true "What You See Is What You Get" experience in your
sourcebuffer, while letting you retain full control. preview-latex
comes with its own manual.

Features include:
- Start viewers for DVI, PostScript and PDF output from
within Emacs
- Use forward and inverse search with DVI viewers
- Generate WYSIWYG inline previews of mathematics, figures,
and other constructs which are hard to grasp in plain source view by
means of the preview-latex subsystem
- Insert macros, environments and headings with a simple key
stroke or via a menu entry. AUCTeX will help you by prompting for
parameters in case of known macros and
environments. There is a completion mechanism for partially written
macros available
- Use keyboard shortcuts for inserting math
- Sophisticated fontification and indentation of macros and
environments
- Fold macros and environments and display their content or a
pre-defined string instead. You can temporarily reveal the original
text again for editing
- Run various TeX/LaTeX interpreters and related programs
like BibTeX or makeindex from within Emacs
- View errors of the compiler run and jump to the respective
place in the TeX/LaTeX source code
- Support for macros and environments of many TeX/LaTeX
packages with the use of style files
- Easily extensible by writing your own style files
- Many aspects of AUCTeX can be adapted to fit your personal
