Etexshow is a clone of texshow, a program shipped with the ConTeXt
macro package (see http://www.pragma-ade.com for a description of
ConTeXt). Please send bug reports and comments to me! Thank you.
See file `todo' for things that need to be done (that I know of).
There is still an xml-file shipped with this code. Usually you would
generate the xml-file with 'texexec'ing the file setupe.tex. Then you
will get the cont-en.xml file that can (could) be used as an input for
this etexshow. But for now, this won't work. It will work rsn.
Installation
================
please find installation instructions in the accompanied file README.txt
Startup
===========
To start etexshow, just
type 'M-x etexshow'
WARNING: The first start: etexshow reads an xml file and converts it
(pgxml.el) to a datastructure that will be stored in a cache file.
Please note that will take some time.
Configuration
=================
Etexshow works for me. Hopefully it will work for you as well. But
there are some points you have to look at. Etexshow will try to
find the xml files that is given in the alist
`etexshow-xml-files-alist'. Then it will write to a cache file
(which must not exist!) that are also given in this alist. Please
put a line in your .emacs where to find (store) these files:
(setq etexshow-xml-files-alist
'(("~/etexshow/cont-en.xml" . "~/etexshow/cont-en.cache")
("~/etexshow/mycommands.xml" . "~/etexshow/mycommands.cache")))
(the dots inbetween are needed). You have to give an even number of
files. The first file is the xml file, and the second file is the
cache file.
The colors are tested on black background. On any other background
they will probably look ugly. I said "ugly". Please give me your
favourite color definitions (look for the defface arguments)
Functions
=============
You will see a list of commands on the left side and an explanation
on the right hand side. Use cursor up/down to scroll thru the list.
Please see the help page for more information.
Exit
========
To exit etexshow please use 'Q' (uppercase letter q)
