Copying this Manual.

   AUCTeX is an integrated environment for editing LaTeX, ConTeXt,
docTeX, Texinfo, and TeX files.

   Although AUCTeX contains a large number of features, there are no
reasons to despair.  You can continue to write TeX and LaTeX documents
the way you are used to, and only start using the multiple features in
small steps.  AUCTeX is not monolithic, each feature described in this
manual is useful by itself, but together they provide an environment
where you will make very few LaTeX errors, and makes it easy to find
the errors that may slip through anyway.

   It is a good idea to make a printout of AUCTeX's reference card
`tex-ref.tex' or one of its typeset versions.

   If you want to make AUCTeX aware of style files and multi-file
documents right away, insert the following in your `.emacs' file.

     (setq TeX-auto-save t)
     (setq TeX-parse-self t)
     (setq-default TeX-master nil)

   Another thing you should enable is RefTeX, a comprehensive solution
for managing cross references, bibliographies, indices, document
navigation and a few other things.  (*note Installation:
(reftex)Installation.)

   For detailed information about the preview-latex subsystem of
AUCTeX, see Note: Introduction.

   There is a mailing list for general discussion about AUCTeX: write a
mail with "subscribe" in the subject to <auctex-request@gnu.org> to
join it.  Send contributions to <auctex@gnu.org>.

   Bug reports should go to <bug-auctex@gnu.org>, suggestions for new
features, and pleas for help should go to either <auctex-devel@gnu.org>
(the AUCTeX developers), or to <auctex@gnu.org> if they might have
general interest.  Please use the command `M-x TeX-submit-bug-report
RET' to report bugs if possible.  You can subscribe to a low-volume
announcement list by sending "subscribe" in the subject of a mail to
<info-auctex-request@gnu.org>.
