Hi,
After today's update of Carbon Emacs, opening and latexing Emacs
with the previous .emacs caused some errors, so I deleted it. Then,
I repeated the customization steps LaTeX -> Customize AUCTeX
In doing so, I realized that in my previous description, I missed to write
that to invoke Preview from Emacs' minibufer (for example after using
simpdftex) I added Preview as an AUCTeX/Emacs Command:
Latex -> Customize Auctex -> Browse options -> Tex Command group: [Go to
Group]
-> Tex Command List
Right after the View Command, I've added:
INS DEL Name: Preview
Command: open -a Preview %s.pdf
How: Value Menu TeX-run-discard
Start process with second argument, discarding its output.
Prompt: Toggle off (nil)
Modes: Value Menu All
Menu elements:
INS
