You can make use of forward and inverse searching if this is supported
by your DVI viewer and you enabled
TeX-source-specials-mode
. See Commands, on how to do that.
AUCTeX will automatically pass the necessary command line options to
the viewer in order to display the page containing the content you are
currently editing (forward search).
Upon opening the viewer you will be asked if you want to start a server
process (Gnuserv or Emacs server) which is necessary for inverse search.
This happens only if there is no server running already. You can
customize the variable TeX-source-specials-view-start-server
to
inhibit the question and always or never start the server respectively.
If TeX-source-specials-mode
is active and a DVI viewer
is invoked, the default behavior is to ask if a server process should be
started. Set this variable to t
if the question should be
inhibited and the server should always be started. Set it to nil
if the server should never be started. Inverse search will not be
available in the latter case.
Once the server and the viewer are running you can use a mouse click in the viewer to jump to the corresponding part of your document in Emacs (inverse search). Refer to the documentation of your viewer to find out what you have to do exactly. In xdvi you usually have to use C-down-mouse-1.
For PDF output, forward search is availabe when using the pdfsync
LaTeX package and xpdf as PDF viewer. With the pdfsync package
forward search does not rely on source specials. Therefore you don't
have to bother about the provisions for source specials explained above.
If document parsing is enabled, the functionality is usable immediately,
e.g. by typing C-c C-v (TeX-view
) which will open the
viewer or bring it to front if it is already opened and display the
output page corresponding to the position of point in the source file.
