215 | @b{Ref@TeX{}} is a specialized package for support of labels, | |
216 | references, citations, and the index in LaTeX. @b{Ref@TeX{}} wraps | |
217 | itself round 4 LaTeX macros: @code{\label}, @code{\ref}, @code{\cite}, | |
218 | and @code{\index}. Using these macros usually requires looking up | |
219 | different parts of the document and searching through BibTeX database | |
220 | files. @b{Ref@TeX{}} automates these time--consuming tasks almost | |
221 | entirely. It also provides functions to display the structure of a | |
222 | document and to move around in this structure quickly.@refill | |

240 | @section Installation | |
241 | @cindex Installation | |
242 | ||
243 | @b{Ref@TeX{}} is bundled and pre--installed with Emacs since version 20.2. | |
244 | It was also bundled and pre--installed with XEmacs 19.16--20.x. XEmacs | |
245 | 21.x users want to install the corresponding plug-in package which is | |
246 | available from the | |
247 | @uref{ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/packages/,XEmacs ftp site}. See | |
248 | the XEmacs 21.x documentation on package installation for | |
249 | details.@refill | |
250 | ||
251 | Users of earlier Emacs distributions (including Emacs 19) can get a copy | |
252 | of the @b{Ref@TeX{}} distribution from the maintainers web-page. | |
253 | @xref{Imprint}, for more information.@refill | |
254 | ||
255 | @section Environment | |
256 | @cindex Finding files | |

258 | @cindex TeX files, not found | |
259 | @cindex @code{TEXINPUTS}, environment variable | |
260 | @cindex @code{BIBINPUTS}, environment variable | |
261 | ||
262 | @b{Ref@TeX{}} needs to access all files which are part of a multifile | |
263 | document, and the BibTeX database files requested by the | |
264 | @code{\bibliography} command. To find these files, @b{Ref@TeX{}} will | |
265 | require a search path, i.e. a list of directories to check. Normally | |
266 | this list is stored in the environment variables @code{TEXINPUTS} and | |
267 | @code{BIBINPUTS} which are also used by @b{Ref@TeX{}}. However, on some | |
268 | systems these variables do not contain the full search path. If | |
269 | @b{Ref@TeX{}} does not work for you because it cannot find some files, | |
270 | read @ref{Finding Files}. | |

295 | @enumerate | |
296 | @item | |
297 | @b{Table of Contents}@* Typing @kbd{C-c =} (@code{reftex-toc}) will show | |
298 | a table of contents of the document. This buffer can display sections, | |
299 | labels and index entries defined in the document. From the buffer, you | |
300 | can jump quickly to every part of your document. Press @kbd{?} to get | |
301 | help.@refill | |
302 | ||
303 | @item | |
304 | @b{Labels and References}@* @b{Ref@TeX{}} helps to create unique labels | |
305 | and to find the correct key for references quickly. It distinguishes | |
306 | labels for different environments, knows about all standard | |
307 | environments (and many others), and can be configured to recognize any | |
308 | additional labeled environments you have defined yourself (variable | |
309 | @code{reftex-label-alist}).@refill | |
310 | ||
311 | @itemize @bullet | |
312 | @item | |
313 | @b{Creating Labels}@* | |
314 | Type @kbd{C-c (} (@code{reftex-label}) to insert a label at point. | |
315 | @b{Ref@TeX{}} will either | |
316 | @itemize @minus | |
317 | @item | |
318 | derive a label from context (default for section labels) | |
319 | @item | |
320 | prompt for a label string (default for figures and tables) or | |
321 | @item | |
322 | insert a simple label made of a prefix and a number (all other | |
323 | environments)@refill | |
324 | @end itemize | |
325 | @noindent | |
326 | Which labels are created how is configurable with the variable | |
327 | @code{reftex-insert-label-flags}.@refill | |
328 | ||
329 | @item | |
330 | @b{Referencing Labels}@* To make a reference, type @kbd{C-c )} | |
331 | (@code{reftex-reference}). This shows an outline of the document with | |
332 | all labels of a certain type (figure, equation,...) and some label | |
333 | context. Selecting a label inserts a @code{\ref@{@var{label}@}} macro | |
334 | into the original buffer.@refill | |
335 | @end itemize | |
336 | ||
337 | @item | |
338 | @b{Citations}@* | |
339 | Typing @kbd{C-c [} (@code{reftex-citation}) will let you specify a | |
340 | regular expression to search in current BibTeX database files (as | |
341 | specified in the @code{\bibliography} command) and pull out a list of | |
342 | matches for you to choose from. The list is @emph{formatted} and | |
343 | sorted. The selected article is referenced as @samp{\cite@{@var{key}@}} | |
344 | (see the variable @code{reftex-cite-format} if you want to insert | |
345 | different macros).@refill | |
346 | ||
347 | @item | |
348 | @b{Index Support}@* | |
349 | @b{Ref@TeX{}} helps to enter index entries. It also compiles all | |
350 | entries into an alphabetically sorted @file{*Index*} buffer which you | |
351 | can use to check and edit the entries. @b{Ref@TeX{}} knows about the | |
352 | standard index macros and can be configured to recognize any additional | |
353 | macros you have defined (@code{reftex-index-macros}). Multiple indices | |
354 | are supported.@refill | |
355 | ||
356 | @itemize @bullet | |
357 | @item | |
358 | @b{Creating Index Entries}@* | |
d4e1eea3 CD |
359 | To index the current selection or the word at point, type @kbd{C-c /} |
360 | (@code{reftex-index-selection-or-word}). The default macro | |
361 | @code{reftex-index-default-macro} will be used. For a more complex entry | |
362 | type @kbd{C-c <} (@code{reftex-index}), select any of the index macros | |
363 | and enter the arguments with completion.@refill | |
364 | ||
365 | @item | |
366 | @b{The Index Phrases File (Delayed Indexing)}@* | |
367 | Type @kbd{C-c \} (@code{reftex-index-phrase-selection-or-word}) to add | |
368 | the current word or selection to a special @emph{index phrase file}. | |
369 | @b{Ref@TeX{}} can later search the document for occurrences of these | |
370 | phrases and let you interactively index the matches.@refill | |
371 | ||
372 | @item | |
373 | @b{Displaying and Editing the Index}@* | |
374 | To display the compiled index in a special buffer, type @kbd{C-c >} | |
375 | (@code{reftex-display-index}). From that buffer you can check and edit | |
376 | all entries.@refill | |
6bf7aab6 DL |
377 | @end itemize |
378 | ||
379 | @page | |
380 | @item @b{Viewing Cross-References}@* | |
381 | When point is on the @var{key} argument of a cross--referencing macro | |
382 | (@code{\label}, @code{\ref}, @code{\cite}, @code{\bibitem}, | |
383 | @code{\index}, and variations) or inside a BibTeX database entry, you | |
384 | can press @kbd{C-c &} (@code{reftex-view-crossref}) to display | |
385 | corresponding locations in the document and associated BibTeX database | |
d4e1eea3 CD |
386 | files.@refill @* |
387 | When the enclosing macro is @code{\cite} or @code{\ref} and no other | |
388 | message occupies the echo area, information about the citation or label | |
389 | will automatically be displayed in the echo area.@refill | |
6bf7aab6 DL |
390 | |
391 | @item | |
392 | @b{Multifile Documents}@* | |
393 | Multifile Documents are fully supported. The included files must have a | |
394 | file variable @code{TeX-master} or @code{tex-main-file} pointing to the | |
395 | master file. @b{Ref@TeX{}} provides cross-referencing information from | |
396 | all parts of the document, and across document borders | |
397 | (@file{xr.sty}).@refill | |
398 | ||
399 | @item | |
400 | @b{Document Parsing}@* @b{Ref@TeX{}} needs to parse the document in | |
401 | order to find labels and other information. It does it automatically | |
402 | once and updates its list internally when @code{reftex-label} and | |
403 | @code{reftex-index} are used. To enforce reparsing, call any of the | |
404 | commands described above with a raw @kbd{C-u} prefix, or press the | |
405 | @kbd{r} key in the label selection buffer, the table of contents | |
406 | buffer, or the index buffer.@refill | |
407 | ||
408 | @item | |
409 | @b{AUCTeX} @* If your major LaTeX mode is AUCTeX, @b{Ref@TeX{}} can | |
410 | cooperate with it (see variable @code{reftex-plug-into-AUCTeX}). AUCTeX | |
411 | contains style files which trigger appropriate settings in | |
412 | @b{Ref@TeX{}}, so that for many of the popular LaTeX packages no | |
413 | additional customizations will be necessary.@refill | |
414 | ||
415 | @item | |
416 | @b{Useful Settings}@* To make @b{Ref@TeX{}} faster for large documents, | |
417 | try these:@refill | |
418 | @lisp | |
419 | (setq reftex-enable-partial-scans t) | |
420 | (setq reftex-save-parse-info t) | |
421 | (setq reftex-use-multiple-selection-buffers t) | |

425 | @lisp | |
426 | (setq reftex-plug-into-AUCTeX t) | |
427 | @end lisp | |
428 | ||
429 | To make your own LaTeX macro definitions known to @b{Ref@TeX{}}, | |
430 | customize the variables@refill | |
431 | @example | |
432 | @code{reftex-label-alist} @r{(for label macros/environments)} | |

640 | ||
641 | LaTeX provides a powerful mechanism to deal with cross--references in a | |
642 | document. When writing a document, any part of it can be marked with a | |
643 | label, like @samp{\label@{mark@}}. LaTeX records the current value of a | |
644 | certain counter when a label is defined. Later references to this label | |
645 | (like @samp{\ref@{mark@}}) will produce the recorded value of the | |
646 | counter.@refill | |
647 | ||
648 | Labels can be used to mark sections, figures, tables, equations, | |
649 | footnotes, items in enumerate lists etc. LaTeX is context sensitive in | |
650 | doing this: A label defined in a figure environment automatically | |
651 | records the figure counter, not the section counter.@refill | |
652 | ||
653 | Several different environments can share a common counter and therefore | |
654 | a common label category. E.g. labels in both @code{equation} and | |
655 | @code{eqnarray} environments record the value of the same counter - the | |
656 | equation counter.@refill | |

676 | ||
677 | In order to create a label in a LaTeX document, press @kbd{C-c (} | |
678 | (@code{reftex-label}). Just like LaTeX, @b{Ref@TeX{}} is context sensitive | |
679 | and will figure out the environment it currently is in and adapt the | |
680 | label to that environment. A label usually consists of a short prefix | |
681 | indicating the type of the label and a unique mark. @b{Ref@TeX{}} has | |
682 | 3 different modes to create this mark.@refill | |
683 | ||
684 | @enumerate | |
685 | @item | |
686 | @vindex reftex-translate-to-ascii-function | |
687 | @vindex reftex-derive-label-parameters | |
688 | @vindex reftex-label-illegal-re | |
689 | @vindex reftex-abbrev-parameters | |
690 | A label can be derived from context. This means, @b{Ref@TeX{}} takes | |
691 | the context of the label definition and constructs a label from | |
692 | that@footnote{Note that the context may contain constructs which are | |
693 | illegal in labels. @b{Ref@TeX{}} will therefore strip the accent from | |
694 | accented Latin-1 characters and remove everything else which is not | |
695 | legal in labels. This mechanism is safe, but may not be satisfactory | |
696 | for non-western languages. Check the following variables if you need to | |
697 | change things: @code{reftex-translate-to-ascii-function}, | |
698 | @code{reftex-derive-label-parameters}, @code{reftex-label-illegal-re}, | |
699 | @code{reftex-abbrev-parameters}.}. This works best for section labels, | |
700 | where the section heading is used to construct a label. In fact, | |
701 | @b{Ref@TeX{}}'s default settings use this method only for section | |
702 | labels. You will be asked to confirm the derived label, or edit | |
703 | it.@refill | |
704 | ||
705 | @item | |
706 | We may also use a simple unique number to identify a label. This is | |
707 | mostly useful for labels where it is difficult to come up with a very | |
708 | good descriptive name. @b{Ref@TeX{}}'s default settings use this method | |
709 | for equations, enumerate items and footnotes. The author of @b{Ref@TeX{}} | |
710 | tends to write documents with many equations and finds it impossible | |
711 | to come up with good names for each of them. These simple labels are | |
712 | inserted without query, and are therefore very fast. Good descriptive | |
713 | names are not really necessary as @b{Ref@TeX{}} will provide context to | |
714 | reference a label (@pxref{Referencing Labels}).@refill | |
715 | ||
716 | @item | |
717 | The third method is to ask the user for a label. This is most | |
718 | useful for things which are easy to describe briefly and do not turn up | |
719 | too frequently in a document. @b{Ref@TeX{}} uses this for figures and | |
720 | tables. Of course, one can enter the label directly by typing the full | |
721 | @samp{\label@{mark@}}. The advantage of using @code{reftex-label} | |
722 | anyway is that @b{Ref@TeX{}} will know that a new label has been defined. | |
723 | It will then not be necessary to rescan the document in order to access | |
724 | this label later.@refill | |

748 | selection process and finally insert the complete @samp{\ref@{label@}} | |
749 | into the buffer.@refill | |
750 | ||
751 | First, @b{Ref@TeX{}} will determine the label category which is required. | |
752 | Often that can be figured out from context. For example, if you | |
753 | write @samp{As shown in eq.} and the press @kbd{C-c )}, @b{Ref@TeX{}} knows | |
754 | that an equation label is going to be referenced. If it cannot figure | |
755 | out what label category is needed, it will query for one.@refill | |
756 | ||
757 | You will then be presented with a label selection menu. This is a | |
758 | special buffer which contains an outline of the document along with all | |
759 | labels of the given label category. In addition, next to the label | |
760 | there will be one line of context of the label definition, which is some | |
761 | text in the buffer near the label definition. Usually this is | |
762 | sufficient to identify the label. If you are unsure about a certain | |
763 | label, pressing @key{SPC} will show the label definition point in | |
764 | another window.@refill | |
765 | ||
766 | In order to reference a label, move to cursor to the correct label and | |

1117 | ||
1118 | So we need to tell @b{Ref@TeX{}} that @code{theorem} and @code{axiom} are new | |
1119 | labeled environments which define their own label categories. We can | |
1120 | either use Lisp to do this (e.g. in @file{.emacs}) or use the custom | |

1129 | The type indicator characters @code{?a} and @code{?h} are used for | |

1149 | @code{t} means to get it from a default location (from the beginning of | |

d4e1eea3 CD |
1160 | The following list of strings is used to guess the correct label type |
1161 | from the word before point when creating a reference. E.g. if you | |
6bf7aab6 | 1162 | write: @samp{As we have shown in Theorem} and then press @kbd{C-c )}, |
d4e1eea3 CD |
1163 | @b{Ref@TeX{}} will know that you are looking for a theorem label and |

1166 | The final item in each entry is the level at which the environment | |
1167 | should produce entries in the table of context buffer. If the number is | |
1168 | positive, the environment will produce numbered entries (like | |
1169 | @code{\section}), if it is negative the entries will be unnumbered (like | |
1170 | @code{\section*}). Use this only for environments which structure the | |

1380 | ||
1381 | Some LaTeX packages define environment-like structures without using the | |
1382 | standard @samp{\begin..\end} structure. @b{Ref@TeX{}} cannot parse | |
1383 | these directly, but you can write your own special-purpose parser and | |
1384 | use it instead of the name of an environment in an entry for | |
1385 | @code{reftex-label-alist}. The function should check if point is | |
1386 | currently in the special environment it was written to detect. If so, | |
1387 | it must return a buffer position indicating the start of this | |
1388 | environment. The return value must be @code{nil} on failure to detect | |
1389 | the environment. The function is called with one argument @var{bound}. | |
1390 | If non-@code{nil}, @var{bound} is a boundary for backwards searches | |
1391 | which should be observed. We will discuss two examples.@refill | |
1392 | ||
1393 | @cindex LaTeX commands, abbreviated | |

1395 | Some people define abbreviations for | |
1396 | environments, like @code{\be} for @code{\begin@{equation@}}, and | |
1397 | @code{\ee} for @code{\end@{equation@}}. The parser function would have | |
1398 | to search backward for these macros. When the first match is | |
1399 | @code{\ee}, point is not in this environment. When the first match is | |
1400 | @code{\be}, point is in this environment and the function must return | |
1401 | the beginning of the match. To avoid scanning too far, we can also look | |
1402 | for empty lines which cannot occure inside an equation environment. | |
1403 | Here is the setup:@refill | |

1745 | The standard LaTeX macro @code{\cite} works well with numeric or simple | |
1746 | key citations. To deal with the more complex task of author-year | |
1747 | citations as used in many natural sciences, a variety of packages has | |
1748 | been developed which define derived forms of the @code{\cite} macro. | |
1749 | @b{Ref@TeX{}} can be configured to produce these citation macros as well by | |
1750 | setting the variable @code{reftex-cite-format}. For the most commonly | |
1751 | used packages (@code{natbib}, @code{harvard}, @code{chicago}) this may | |
1752 | be done from the menu, under @code{Ref->Citation Styles}. Since there | |
1753 | are usually several macros to create the citations, executing | |
1754 | @code{reftex-citation} (@kbd{C-c [}) starts by prompting for the correct | |
1755 | macro. For the Natbib style, this looks like this: | |
1756 | ||
1757 | @example | |
1758 | SELECT A CITATION FORMAT | |
1759 | ||
1760 | [^M] \cite@{%l@} | |
1761 | [t] \citet@{%l@} | |

1767 | [a] \citeauthor@{%l@} | |
1768 | [A] \citeauthor*@{%l@} | |
1769 | [y] \citeyear@{%l@} | |
1770 | @end example | |
1771 | ||
1772 | Following the most generic of these packages, @code{natbib}, the builtin | |
1773 | citation packages always accept the @kbd{t} key for a @emph{textual} | |
1774 | citation (like: @code{Jones et al. (1997) have shown...}) as well as | |
1775 | the @kbd{p} key for a parenthetical citation (like: @code{As shown | |
1776 | earlier (Jones et al, 1997)}).@refill | |
1777 | ||
1778 | To make one of these styles the default, customize the variable | |

1855 | ||
1856 | LaTeX has builtin support for creating an Index. The LaTeX core | |
1857 | supports two different indices, the standard index and a glossary. With | |
1858 | the help of special LaTeX packages (@file{multind.sty} or | |
1859 | @file{index.sty}), any number of indices can be supported. | |
1860 | ||
1861 | Index entries are created with the @code{\index@{@var{entry}@}} macro. | |
1862 | All entries defined in a document are written out to the @file{.aux} | |
1863 | file. A separate tool must be used to convert this information into a | |
1864 | nicely formatted index. Tools used with LaTeX include @code{MakeIndex} | |
1865 | and @code{xindy}.@refill | |
1866 | ||

1867 | Indexing is a very difficult task. It must follow strict conventions to |
1868 | make the index consistent and complete. There are basically two | |
1869 | approaches one can follow, and both have their merits. | |
1870 | ||
1871 | @enumerate | |
1872 | @item | |
1873 | Part of the indexing should already be done with the markup. The | |
1874 | document structure should be reflected in the index, so when starting | |
1875 | new sections, the basic topics of the section should be indexed. If the | |
1876 | document contains definitions, theorems or the like, these should all | |
1877 | correspond to appropriate index entries. This part of the index can | |
1878 | very well be developed along with the document. Often it is worthwhile | |
1879 | to define special purpose macros which define an item and at the same | |
1880 | time make an index entry, possibly with special formatting to make the | |
1881 | reference page in the index bold or underlined. To make @b{Ref@TeX{}} | |
1882 | support for indexing possible, these special macros must be added to | |
1883 | @b{Ref@TeX{}}'s configuration (@pxref{Defining Index Macros}).@refill | |
1884 | ||
1885 | @item | |
1886 | The rest of the index is often just a collection of where in the | |
1887 | document certain words or phrases are being used. This part is | |
1888 | difficult to develop along with the document, because consistent entries | |
1889 | for each occurrence are needed and are best selected when the document | |
1890 | is ready. @b{Ref@TeX{}} supports this with an @emph{index phrases file} | |
1891 | which collects phrases and helps indexing the phrases globally.@refill | |
1892 | @end enumerate | |
1893 | ||
1894 | Before you start, you need to make sure that @b{Ref@TeX{}} knows about | |
1895 | the index style being used in the current document. @b{Ref@TeX{}} has | |
1896 | builtin support for the default @code{\index} and @code{\glossary} | |
1897 | macros. Other LaTeX packages, like the @file{multind} or @file{index} | |
1898 | package, redefine the @code{\index} macro to have an additional | |
1899 | argument, and @b{Ref@TeX{}} needs to be configured for those. A | |
1900 | sufficiently new version of AUCTeX (9.10c or later) will do this | |
1901 | automatically. If you really don't use AUCTeX (you should!), this | |
1902 | configuration needs to be done by hand with the menu (@code{Ref->Index | |

2015 | The phrase lines in the phrase buffer must have a specific format. |

2019 | @example |
2020 | [@var{key}] <TABs> @var{phrase} [<TABs> @var{arg}[&&@var{arg}]... [ || @var{arg}]...] | |
2021 | @end example | |
2022 | ||
2023 | @code{<TABs>} stands for white space containing at least one @key{TAB}. | |
2024 | @var{key} must be at the start of the line and is the character | |
2025 | identifying one of the macros defined in the file header. It is | |
2026 | optional - when omitted, the first macro definition line in the file | |
2027 | will be used for this phrase. The @var{phrase} is the phrase to be | |
2028 | searched for when indexing. It may contain several words separated by | |
2029 | spaces. By default the search phrase is also the text entered as | |
2030 | argument of the index macro. If you want the index entry to be | |
2031 | different from the search phrase, enter another @key{TAB} and the index | |
2032 | argument @var{arg}. If you want to have each match produce several | |
2033 | index entries, separate the different index arguments with @samp{ && | |
2034 | }@footnote{@samp{&&} with optional spaces, see | |
2035 | @code{reftex-index-phrases-logical-and-regexp}.}. If you want to be | |
2036 | able to choose at each match between several different index arguments, | |
2037 | separate them with @samp{ || }@footnote{@samp{||} with optional spaces, | |
2038 | see @code{reftex-index-phrases-logical-or-regexp}.}. Here is an | |
2039 | example:@refill | |

2052 | So @samp{Sun} will be indexed directly as @samp{\index*@{Sun@}}, while | |
2053 | @samp{Planet} will be indexed as @samp{\index@{Planets@}Planet}. | |
2054 | @samp{Vega} will be indexed as a subitem of @samp{Stars}. The | |
2055 | @samp{Jupiter} line will also use the @samp{i} macro as it was the first | |
2056 | macro definition in the file header (see above example). At each | |
2057 | occurrence of @samp{Mars} you will be able choose between indexing it as | |
2058 | a subitem of @samp{Planets}, @samp{Gods} or @samp{Chocolate Bars}. | |
2059 | Finally, every occurrence of @samp{Pluto} will be indexed as | |
2060 | @samp{\index@{Planets!Pluto@}\index@{Kuiper Belt Objects!Pluto@}Pluto} | |

2070 | Before indexing the phrases in the phrases buffer, they should be | |
2071 | checked carefully for consistency. A first step is to sort the phrases | |
2072 | alphabetically - this is done with the command @kbd{C-c C-s} | |
2073 | (@code{reftex-index-sort-phrases}). It will sort all phrases in the | |
2074 | buffer alphabetically by search phrase. If you want to group certain | |
2075 | phrases and only sort within the groups, insert empty lines between the | |
2076 | groups. Sorting will only change the sequence of phrases within each | |
2077 | group (see the variable @code{reftex-index-phrases-sort-in-blocks}).@refill | |
2078 | ||
2079 | @kindex C-c C-i | |
2080 | A useful command is @kbd{C-c C-i} (@code{reftex-index-phrases-info}) | |
2081 | which lists information about the phrase at point, including an example | |
2082 | of how the index entry will look like and the number of expected matches | |
2083 | in the document.@refill | |
2084 | ||
2085 | @kindex C-c C-t | |
2086 | Another important check is to find out if there are double or | |
2087 | overlapping entries in the buffer. For example if you are first | |
2088 | searching and indexing @samp{Mars} and then @samp{Planet Mars}, the | |

2091 | (@code{reftex-index-find-next-conflict-phrase}) finds the next phrase in | |
2092 | the buffer which is either duplicate or a subphrase of another phrase. | |

2102 | Once the index phrases have been collected and organized, you are set | |
2103 | for global indexing. I recommend to do this only on an otherwise | |
2104 | finished document. Global indexing starts from the phrases buffer. | |
2105 | There are several commands which start indexing: @kbd{C-c C-x} acts on | |
2106 | the current phrase line, @kbd{C-c C-r} on all lines in the current | |
2107 | region and @kbd{C-c C-a} on all phrase lines in the buffer. It is | |
2108 | probably good to do indexing in small chunks since your concentration | |
2109 | may not last long enough to do everything in one go.@refill | |
2110 | ||
2111 | @b{Ref@TeX{}} will start at the first phrase line and search the phrase | |
2112 | globally in the whole document. At each match it will stop, compute the | |
2113 | replacement string and offer you the following choices@footnote{Windows | |
2114 | users: Restrict yourself to the described keys during indexing. Pressing | |
2115 | @key{Help} at the indexing prompt can apparently hang Emacs.}:@refill | |

2144 | The @samp{Find and Index in Document} menu in the phrases buffer also | |
2145 | lists a few options for the indexing process. The options have | |
2146 | associated customization variables to set the defaults (@pxref{Options | |
2147 | (Index Support)}). Here is a short explanation of what the options do: | |
2148 | ||
2149 | @table @i | |
2150 | @item Match Whole Words | |
2151 | When searching for index phrases, make sure whole words are matched. | |
2152 | This should probably always be on. | |
2153 | @item Case Sensitive Search | |
2154 | Search case sensitively for phrases. I recommend to have this setting | |
2155 | off, in order to match the capitalized words at the beginning of a | |
2156 | sentence, and even typos. You can always say @emph{no} at a match you | |
2157 | do not like. | |
2158 | @item Wrap Long Lines | |
2159 | Inserting index macros increases the line length. Turn this option on | |
2160 | to allow @b{Ref@TeX{}} to wrap long lines. | |
2161 | @item Skip Indexed Matches | |
2162 | When this is on, @b{Ref@TeX{}} will at each match try to figure out if | |
2163 | this match is already indexed. A match is considered indexed if it is | |
2164 | either the argument of an index macro, or if an index macro is directly | |
2165 | (without whitespace separation) before or after the match. Index macros | |
2166 | are those configured in @code{reftex-index-macros}. Intended for | |
2167 | re-indexing a documents after changes have been made.@refill | |
2168 | @end table | |
2169 | ||
2170 | Even though indexing should be the last thing you do to a document, you | |
2171 | are bound to make changes afterwards. Indexing then has to be applied | |
2172 | to the changed regions. The command | |
2173 | @code{reftex-index-phrases-apply-to-region} is designed for this | |
2174 | purpose. When called from a LaTeX document with active region, it will | |
2175 | apply @code{reftex-index-all-phrases} to the current region.@refill | |

2187 | In order to compile and display the index, press @kbd{C-c >}. If the | |
2188 | document uses multiple indices, @b{Ref@TeX{}} will ask you to select | |
2189 | one. Then, all index entries will be sorted alphabetically and | |
2190 | displayed in a special buffer, the @file{*Index*} buffer. From that | |
2191 | buffer you can check and edit each entry.@refill | |
2192 | ||
2193 | The index can be restricted to the current section or the region. Then | |
2194 | only entries in that part of the document will go into the compiled | |
2195 | index. To restrict to the current section, use a numeric prefix | |
2196 | @samp{2}, thus press @kbd{C-u 2 C-c >}. To restrict to the current | |
2197 | region, make the region active and use a numeric prefix @samp{3} (press | |
2198 | @kbd{C-u 3 C-c >}). From within the @file{*Index*} buffer the | |

6bf7aab6 DL |
2201 | |
2202 | One caveat: @b{Ref@TeX{}} finds the definition point of an index entry | |
2203 | by searching near the buffer position where it had found to macro during | |
2204 | scanning. If you have several identical index entries in the same | |
2205 | buffer and significant changes have shifted the entries around, you must | |
2206 | rescan the buffer to ensure the correspondence between the | |
2207 | @file{*Index*} buffer and the definition locations. It is therefore | |
2208 | advisable to rescan the document (with @kbd{r} or @kbd{C-u r}) | |

2379 | @cindex Index macros, defining | |
2380 | @vindex reftex-index-macros | |
2381 | ||
2382 | When writing a document with an index you will probably define | |
2383 | additional macros which make entries into the index. | |
2384 | Let's look at an example. | |
2385 | ||
2386 | @example | |
2387 | \newcommand@{\ix@}[1]@{#1\index@{#1@}@} | |
2388 | \newcommand@{\nindex@}[1]@{\textit@{#1@}\index[name]@{#1@}@} | |
2389 | \newcommand@{\astobj@}[1]@{\index@{Astronomical Objects!#1@}@} | |
2390 | @end example | |
2391 | ||
2392 | The first macro @code{\ix} typesets its argument in the text and places | |
2393 | it into the index. The second macro @code{\nindex} typesets its | |
2394 | argument in the text and places it into a separate index with the tag | |
2395 | @samp{name}@footnote{We are using the syntax of the @file{index} package | |
2396 | here.}. The last macro also places its argument into the index, but as | |
2397 | subitems under the main index entry @samp{Astronomical Objects}. Here | |
2398 | is how to make @b{Ref@TeX{}} recognize and correctly interpret these | |
2399 | macros, first with Emacs Lisp. | |
2400 | ||
2401 | @lisp | |
2402 | (setq reftex-index-macros | |
d4e1eea3 CD |
2403 | '(("\\ix@{*@}" "idx" ?x "" nil nil) |
2404 | ("\\nindex@{*@}" "name" ?n "" nil nil) | |
2405 | ("\\astobj@{*@}" "idx" ?o "Astronomical Objects!" nil t))) | |
6bf7aab6 DL |
2406 | @end lisp |
2407 | ||
2408 | Note that the index tag is @samp{idx} for the main index, and | |
2409 | @samp{name} for the name index. @samp{idx} and @samp{glo} are reserved | |
2410 | for the default index and for the glossary. | |
2411 | ||
2412 | The character arguments @code{?x}, @code{?n}, and @code{?o} are for | |
2413 | quick identification of these macros when @b{Ref@TeX{}} inserts new | |
2414 | index entries with @code{reftex-index}. These codes need to be | |
2415 | unique. @code{?i}, @code{?I}, and @code{?g} are reserved for the | |
2416 | @code{\index}, @code{\index*}, and @code{\glossary} macros, | |
2417 | respectively. | |
2418 | ||
2419 | The following string is empty unless your macro adds a superordinate | |
2420 | entry to the index key - this is the case for the @code{\astobj} macro. | |
2421 | ||
d4e1eea3 CD |
2422 | The next entry can be a hook function to exclude certain matches, it |
2423 | almost always can be @code{nil}. | |
2424 | ||
2425 | The final element in the list indicates if the text being indexed needs | |
2426 | to be repeated outside the macro. For the normal index macros, this | |
2427 | should be @code{t}. Only if the macro typesets the entry in the text | |
2428 | (like @code{\ix} and @code{\nindex} in the example do), this should be | |
2429 | @code{nil}. | |
2430 | ||

2705 | Some parts of @b{Ref@TeX{}} are language dependent. The default | |

2710 | @item | |
2711 | @vindex reftex-derive-label-parameters | |
2712 | @vindex reftex-abbrev-parameters | |
2713 | The mechanism to derive a label from context includes the abbreviation | |
2714 | of words and omission of unimportant words. These mechanisms may have | |
2715 | to be changed for other languages. See the variables | |
2716 | @code{reftex-derive-label-parameters} and @code{reftex-abbrev-parameters}. | |

2718 | @item | |
2719 | @vindex reftex-translate-to-ascii-function | |
2720 | @vindex reftex-label-illegal-re | |
2721 | Also, when a label is derived from context, @b{Ref@TeX{}} clears the | |
2722 | context string from non-ASCII characters in order to make a legal label. | |
2723 | If there should ever be a version of @TeX{} which allows extended | |
2724 | characters @emph{in labels}, then we will have to look at the | |
2725 | variables @code{reftex-translate-to-ascii-function} and | |
2726 | @code{reftex-label-illegal-re}. | |
2727 | ||
2728 | @item | |
2729 | When a label is referenced, @b{Ref@TeX{}} looks at the word before point | |
2730 | to guess which label type is required. These @emph{magic words} are | |
2731 | different in every language. For an example of how to add magic words, | |

2745 | @cindex Finding files | |
2746 | ||
2747 | In order to find files included in a document via @code{\input} or | |
2748 | @code{\include}, @b{Ref@TeX{}} searches all directories specified in the | |
2749 | environment variable @code{TEXINPUTS}. Similarly, it will search the | |
2750 | path specified in the variables @code{BIBINPUTS} and @code{TEXBIB} for | |
2751 | BibTeX database files. | |
2752 | ||
2753 | When searching, @b{Ref@TeX{}} will also expand recursive path | |
2754 | definitions (directories ending in @samp{//} or @samp{!!}). But it will | |
2755 | only search and expand directories @emph{explicitly} given in these | |
2756 | variables. This may cause problems under the following circumstances: | |
2757 | ||
2758 | @itemize @bullet | |
2759 | @item | |
2760 | Most TeX system have a default search path for both TeX files and BibTeX | |
2761 | files which is defined in some setup file. Usually this default path is | |
2762 | for system files which @b{Ref@TeX{}} does not need to see. But if your | |
2763 | document needs TeX files or BibTeX database files in a directory only | |
2764 | given in the default search path, @b{Ref@TeX{}} will fail to find them. | |
2765 | @item | |
2766 | Some TeX systems do not use environment variables at all in order to | |
2767 | specify the search path. Both default and user search path are then | |
2768 | defined in setup files. | |
2769 | @end itemize | |
2770 | ||
2771 | @noindent | |
2772 | There are three ways to solve this problem: | |
2773 | ||
2774 | @itemize @bullet | |
2775 | @item | |
2776 | Specify all relevant directories explicitly in the environment | |
2777 | variables. If for some reason you don't want to mess with the default | |
2778 | variables @code{TEXINPUTS} and @code{BIBINPUTS}, define your own | |
2779 | variables and configure @b{Ref@TeX{}} to use them instead: | |
2780 | ||
2781 | @lisp | |
2782 | (setq reftex-texpath-environment-variables '("MYTEXINPUTS")) | |
2783 | (setq reftex-bibpath-environment-variables '("MYBIBINPUTS")) | |
2784 | @end lisp | |
2785 | ||
2786 | @item | |
2787 | Specify the full search path directly in @b{Ref@TeX{}}'s variables. | |
2788 | ||
2789 | @lisp | |
2790 | (setq reftex-texpath-environment-variables | |
2791 | '("./inp:/home/cd/tex//:/usr/local/tex//")) | |

2793 | '("/home/cd/tex/lit/")) | |
2794 | @end lisp | |
2795 | ||
2796 | @item | |
2797 | Some TeX systems provide stand--alone programs to do the file search just | |
2798 | like TeX and BibTeX. E.g. Thomas Esser's @code{teTeX} uses the | |
2799 | @code{kpathsearch} library which provides the command @code{kpsewhich} | |
2800 | to search for files. @b{Ref@TeX{}} can be configured to use this | |
2801 | program. Note that the exact syntax of the @code{kpsewhich} | |
2802 | command depends upon the version of that program. | |

2899 | Normally, the selection buffer @file{*RefTeX Select*} is re-created for | |
2900 | every selection process. In documents with very many labels this can | |
2901 | take several seconds. @b{Ref@TeX{}} provides an option to create a | |
2902 | separate selection buffer for each label type and to keep this buffer | |
2903 | from one selection to the next. These buffers are updated automatically | |
2904 | only when a new label has been added in the buffers category with | |
2905 | @code{reftex-label}. Updating the buffer takes as long as recreating it | |
2906 | - so the time saving is limited to cases where no new labels of that | |
2907 | category have been added. To turn on this feature, use@refill | |

2961 | @subsection The AUC@TeX{}-@b{Ref@TeX{}} Interface | |
2962 | ||
2963 | @b{Ref@TeX{}} contains code to interface with AUCTeX. When this | |
2964 | interface is turned on, both packages will interact closely. Instead of | |
2965 | using @b{Ref@TeX{}}'s commands directly, you can then also use them | |
2966 | indirectly as part of the AUCTeX | |
2967 | environment@footnote{@b{Ref@TeX{}} 4.0 and AUCTeX 9.10c will be | |
2968 | needed for all of this to work. Parts of it work also with earlier | |
2969 | versions.}. The interface is turned on with@refill | |

2973 | @end lisp | |
2974 | ||
2975 | If you need finer control about which parts of the interface are used | |
2976 | and which not, read the docstring of the variable | |
2977 | @code{reftex-plug-into-AUCTeX} or customize it with @kbd{M-x | |
2978 | customize-variable @key{RET} reftex-plug-into-AUCTeX @key{RET}}. | |
2979 | ||
2980 | The following list describes the individual parts of the interface. | |

2991 | When a new section is created with @kbd{C-c C-s}, or a new environment | |
2992 | is inserted with @kbd{C-c C-e}, AUCTeX normally prompts for a label to | |
2993 | go with it. With the interface, @code{reftex-label} is called instead. | |
2994 | For example, if you type @kbd{C-c C-e equation @key{RET}}, AUCTeX and | |
2995 | @b{Ref@TeX{}} will insert | |
2996 | ||

3007 | Similarly, when you type @kbd{C-c C-s section @key{RET}}, @b{Ref@TeX{}} | |
3008 | will offer its default label which is derived from the section title. | |

3026 | @b{@b{Ref@TeX{}} supplies macro arguments}@* When you insert a macro | |
3027 | interactively with @kbd{C-c @key{RET}}, AUCTeX normally prompts for | |
3028 | macro arguments. Internally, it uses the functions | |
3029 | @code{TeX-arg-label}, @code{TeX-arg-cite}, and @code{TeX-arg-index} to | |
3030 | prompt for arguments which are labels, citation keys and index entries. | |
3031 | The interface takes over these functions@footnote{@code{fset} is used to | |
3032 | do this, which is not reversible. However, @b{Ref@TeX{}} implements the | |
3033 | old functionality when you later decide to turn off the interface.} and | |
3034 | supplies the macro arguments with @b{Ref@TeX{}'s} mechanisms. For | |
3035 | example, when you type @kbd{C-c @key{RET} ref @key{RET}}, @b{Ref@TeX{}} | |
3036 | will supply its label selection process (@pxref{Referencing | |

3046 | @cindex Style files, AUCTeX | |
3047 | @findex TeX-add-style-hook, @r{AUCTeX} | |
3048 | Style files are Emacs Lisp files which are evaluated by AUCTeX in | |
3049 | association with the @code{\documentclass} and @code{\usepackage} | |
a0d31341 CD |
3050 | commands of a document (@pxref{Style Files,,,auctex}). Support for |
3051 | @b{Ref@TeX{}} in such a style file is useful when the LaTeX style | |
3052 | defines macros or environments connected with labels, citations, or the | |
3053 | index. Many style files (e.g. @file{amsmath.el} or @file{natbib.el}) | |
3054 | distributed with AUCTeX already support @b{Ref@TeX{}} in this | |
3055 | way.@refill | |
6bf7aab6 DL |
3056 | |
3057 | Before calling a @b{Ref@TeX{}} function, the style hook should always | |
3058 | test for the availability of the function, so that the style file will | |
3059 | also work for people who do not use @b{Ref@TeX{}}. @refill | |
3060 | ||
3061 | Additions made with style files in the way described below remain local | |
3062 | to the current document. For example, if one package uses AMSTeX, the | |
3063 | style file will make @b{Ref@TeX{}} switch over to @code{\eqref}, but | |
3064 | this will not affect other documents.@refill | |
3065 | ||
3066 | @findex reftex-add-label-environments | |
3067 | @findex reftex-add-to-label-alist | |
3068 | A style hook may contain calls to | |
3069 | @code{reftex-add-label-environments}@footnote{This used to be the | |
3070 | function @code{reftex-add-to-label-alist} which is still available as an | |
3071 | alias for compatibility.} which defines additions to | |
3072 | @code{reftex-label-alist}. The argument taken by this function must have | |
3073 | the same format as @code{reftex-label-alist}. The @file{amsmath.el} | |
3074 | style file of AUCTeX for example contains the following:@refill | |

3102 | @findex reftex-set-cite-format | |
3103 | Similarly, a style hook may contain a call to | |
3104 | @code{reftex-set-cite-format} to set the citation format. The style | |
3105 | file @file{natbib.el} for the Natbib citation style does switch | |
3106 | @b{Ref@TeX{}}'s citation format like this:@refill | |

3113 | @end lisp | |
3114 | ||
3115 | @findex reftex-add-index-macros | |
3116 | The hook may contain a call to @code{reftex-add-index-macros} to | |
3117 | define additional @code{\index}-like macros. The argument must have | |
3118 | the same format as @code{reftex-index-macros}. It may be a symbol, to | |
3119 | trigger support for one of the builtin index packages. For example, | |
3120 | the style @file{multind.el} contains | |
3121 | ||
3122 | @lisp | |
3123 | (TeX-add-style-hook "multind" | |

3127 | @end lisp | |
3128 | ||
3129 | If you have your own package @file{myindex} which defines the | |
3130 | following macros to be used with the LaTeX @file{index.sty} file | |
3131 | @example | |
3132 | \newcommand@{\molec@}[1]@{#1\index@{Molecules!#1@}@} | |
3133 | \newcommand@{\aindex@}[1]@{#1\index[author]@{#1@} | |
3134 | @end example | |
3135 | ||
3136 | you could write this in the style file @file{myindex.el}: | |

3150 | @findex reftex-add-section-levels | |
3151 | Finally the hook may contain a call to @code{reftex-add-section-levels} | |
3152 | to define additional section statements. For example, the FoilTeX class | |
3153 | has just two headers, @code{\foilhead} and @code{\rotatefoilhead}. Here | |
3154 | is a style file @file{foils.el} that will inform @b{Ref@TeX{}} about these: | |

3156 | @lisp | |
3157 | (TeX-add-style-hook "foils" | |
3158 | (lambda () | |

3244 | parts of a multifile document, because @b{Ref@TeX{}} visits these files | |

3389 | Here is a summary of @b{Ref@TeX{}}'s commands which can be executed from |
3390 | LaTeX files. Command which are executed from the special buffers are | |
3391 | not described here. All commands are available from the @code{Ref} | |
47d7776c | 3392 | menu. See @xref{Key Bindings}. |
6bf7aab6 DL |
3393 | |
3394 | @deffn Command reftex-toc | |
3395 | Show the table of contents for the current document. When called with | |
3396 | one ore two @kbd{C-u} prefixes, rescan the document first.@refill | |
3397 | @end deffn | |
3398 | ||
3399 | @deffn Command reftex-label | |
3400 | Insert a unique label. With one or two @kbd{C-u} prefixes, enforce | |
3401 | document rescan first. | |
3402 | @end deffn | |
3403 | ||
3404 | @deffn Command reftex-reference | |
3405 | Start a selection process to select a label, and insert a reference to | |
3406 | it. With one or two @kbd{C-u} prefixes, enforce document rescan first. | |
3407 | @end deffn | |
3408 | ||
3409 | @deffn Command reftex-citation | |
3410 | Make a citation using BibTeX database files. After prompting for a regular | |
3411 | expression, scans the buffers with BibTeX entries (taken from the | |
3412 | @code{\bibliography} command or a @code{thebibliography} environment) | |
3413 | and offers the matching entries for selection. The selected entry is | |
3414 | formated according to @code{reftex-cite-format} and inserted into the | |
3415 | buffer.@refill @* | |
3416 | When called with one or two @kbd{C-u} prefixes, first rescans the | |
3417 | document. When called with a numeric prefix, make that many citations. | |
3418 | When called with point inside the braces of a @code{\cite} command, it | |
3419 | will add another key, ignoring the value of | |
3420 | @code{reftex-cite-format}.@refill @* | |
3421 | The regular expression uses an expanded syntax: @samp{&&} is interpreted | |
3422 | as @code{and}. Thus, @samp{aaaa&&bbb} matches entries which contain | |
3423 | both @samp{aaaa} and @samp{bbb}. While entering the regexp, completion | |
3424 | on knows citation keys is possible. @samp{=} is a good regular | |
3425 | expression to match all entries in all files.@refill | |
3426 | @end deffn | |
3427 | ||
3428 | @deffn Command reftex-index | |
3429 | Query for an index macro and insert it along with its arguments. The | |
3430 | index macros available are those defined in @code{reftex-index-macro} or | |
3431 | by a call to @code{reftex-add-index-macros}, typically from an AUCTeX | |
3432 | style file. @b{Ref@TeX{}} provides completion for the index tag and the | |
3433 | index key, and will prompt for other arguments.@refill | |
3434 | @end deffn | |
3435 | ||
3436 | @deffn Command reftex-index-selection-or-word | |
3437 | Put current selection or the word near point into the default index | |
3438 | macro. This uses the information in @code{reftex-index-default-macro} | |
3439 | to make an index entry. The phrase indexed is the current selection or | |
3440 | the word near point. When called with one @kbd{C-u} prefix, let the | |
3441 | user have a chance to edit the index entry. When called with 2 | |
3442 | @kbd{C-u} as prefix, also ask for the index macro and other stuff. When | |
3443 | called inside TeX math mode as determined by the @file{texmathp.el} | |
3444 | library which is part of AUCTeX, the string is first processed with the | |
3445 | @code{reftex-index-math-format}, which see.@refill | |
3446 | @end deffn | |
3447 | ||
d4e1eea3 CD |
3448 | @deffn Command reftex-index-phrase-selection-or-word |
3449 | Add current selection or the word at point to the phrases buffer. | |
3450 | When you are in transient-mark-mode and the region is active, the | |
3451 | selection will be used - otherwise the word at point. | |
3452 | You get a chance to edit the entry in the phrases buffer - to save the | |
3453 | buffer and return to the LaTeX document, finish with @kbd{C-c C-c}. | |
3454 | @end deffn | |
3455 | ||
3456 | @deffn Command reftex-index-visit-phrases-buffer | |
3457 | Switch to the phrases buffer, initialize if empty. | |
3458 | @end deffn | |
3459 | ||
3460 | @deffn Command reftex-index-phrases-apply-to-region | |
3461 | Index all index phrases in the current region. | |
3462 | This works exactly like global indexing from the index phrases buffer, | |
3463 | but operation is restricted to the current region. | |
3464 | @end deffn | |
3465 | ||
6bf7aab6 DL |
3466 | @deffn Command reftex-display-index |
3467 | Display a buffer with an index compiled from the current document. | |
3468 | When the document has multiple indices, first prompts for the correct one. | |
3469 | When index support is turned off, offer to turn it on. | |
3470 | With one or two @kbd{C-u} prefixes, rescan document first. | |
3471 | With prefix 2, restrict index to current document section. | |
3472 | With prefix 3, restrict index to active region.@refill | |

3475 | @deffn Command reftex-view-crossref |
3476 | View cross reference of macro at point. Point must be on the @var{key} | |
3477 | argument. Works with the macros @code{\label}, @code{\ref}, | |
3478 | @code{\cite}, @code{\bibitem}, @code{\index} and many derivatives of | |
3479 | these. Where it makes sense, subsequent calls show additional | |
3480 | locations. See also the variable @code{reftex-view-crossref-extra} and | |
3481 | the command @code{reftex-view-crossref-from-bibtex}. With one or two | |
3482 | @kbd{C-u} prefixes, enforce rescanning of the document. With argument | |
3483 | 2, select the window showing the cross reference. | |
3484 | @end deffn | |
3485 | ||
3486 | @deffn Command reftex-view-crossref-from-bibtex | |
3487 | View location in a LaTeX document which cites the BibTeX entry at point. | |
3488 | Since BibTeX files can be used by many LaTeX documents, this function | |
3489 | prompts upon first use for a buffer in @b{Ref@TeX{}} mode. To reset this | |
fbeef7be | 3490 | link to a document, call the function with with a prefix arg. Calling |

3524 | @deffn Command reftex-renumber-simple-labels | |
3525 | Renumber all simple labels in the document to make them sequentially. | |
3526 | Simple labels are the ones created by RefTeX, consisting only of the | |
3527 | prefix and a number. After the command completes, all these labels will | |
3528 | have sequential numbers throughout the document. Any references to the | |
3529 | labels will be changed as well. For this, @b{Ref@TeX{}} looks at the | |
3530 | arguments of any macros which either start or end with the string | |
3531 | @samp{ref}. This command should be used with care, in particular in | |
3532 | multifile documents. You should not use it if another document refers | |
3533 | to this one with the @code{xr} package.@refill | |

3680 | arguments, a star to mark the label argument, if any. The macro does | |
3681 | not have to have a label argument - you could also use | |
3682 | @samp{\label@{...@}} inside one of its arguments.@refill | |
3683 | ||
3684 | Special names: @code{section} for section labels, @code{any} to define a | |
3685 | group which contains all labels.@refill | |
3686 | ||
3687 | This may also be a function to do local parsing and identify point to be | |
3688 | in a a non-standard label environment. The function must take an | |
3689 | argument @var{bound} and limit backward searches to this value. It | |
3690 | should return either nil or a cons cell @code{(@var{function} | |
3691 | . @var{position})} with the function symbol and the position where the | |
3692 | special environment starts. See the Info documentation for an | |
3693 | example.@refill | |
3694 | ||
3695 | Finally this may also be @code{nil} if the entry is only meant to change | |
3696 | some settings associated with the type indicator character (see | |
3697 | below).@refill | |
3698 | ||
3699 | @item @var{type-key} | |
3700 | Type indicator character, like @code{?t}, must be a printable ASCII | |
3701 | character. The type indicator is a single character which defines a | |
3702 | label type. Any label inside the environment or macro is assumed to | |
3703 | belong to this type. The same character may occur several times in this | |
3704 | list, to cover cases in which different environments carry the same | |
3705 | label type (like @code{equation} and @code{eqnarray}). If the type | |
3706 | indicator is @code{nil} and the macro has a label argument @samp{@{*@}}, | |
3707 | the macro defines neutral labels just like @code{\label}. In this case | |
3708 | the reminder of this entry is ignored.@refill | |
3709 | ||
3710 | @item @var{label-prefix} | |
3711 | Label prefix string, like @samp{tab:}. The prefix is a short string | |
3712 | used as the start of a label. It may be the empty string. The prefix | |
3713 | may contain the following @samp{%} escapes:@refill | |
3714 | ||
3715 | @example | |
3716 | %f Current file name, directory and extension stripped. | |
3717 | %F Current file name relative to master file directory. | |
3718 | %u User login name, on systems which support this. | |
3719 | %S A section prefix derived with variable @code{reftex-section-prefixes}. | |
3720 | @end example | |
3721 | ||
3722 | @noindent | |
3723 | Example: In a file @file{intro.tex}, @samp{eq:%f:} will become | |
3724 | @samp{eq:intro:}.@refill | |
3725 | ||
3726 | @item @var{reference-format} | |
3727 | Format string for reference insert in buffer. @samp{%s} will be | |
3728 | replaced by the label. When the format starts with @samp{~}, this | |
3729 | @samp{~} will only be inserted when the character before point is | |
3730 | @emph{not} a whitespace.@refill | |
3731 | ||
3732 | @item @var{context-method} | |
3733 | Indication on how to find the short context. | |
3734 | @itemize @minus | |
3735 | @item | |
3736 | If @code{nil}, use the text following the @samp{\label@{...@}} macro.@refill | |
3737 | @item | |

3739 | @itemize @minus | |
3740 | @item | |
3741 | the section heading for section labels. | |
3742 | @item | |
3743 | text following the @samp{\begin@{...@}} statement of environments (not | |
3744 | a good choice for environments like eqnarray or enumerate, where one has | |
3745 | several labels in a single environment).@refill | |
3746 | @item | |
3747 | text after the macro name (starting with the first arg) for | |
3748 | macros.@refill | |
3749 | @end itemize | |
3750 | @item | |
3751 | If an integer, use the nth argument of the macro. As a special case, | |
3752 | 1000 means to get text after the last macro argument.@refill | |
3753 | @item | |
3754 | If a string, use as regexp to search @emph{backward} from the label. | |
3755 | Context is then the text following the end of the match. E.g. putting | |
3756 | this to @samp{\\caption[[@{]} will use the caption in a figure or table | |
3757 | environment. @samp{\\begin@{eqnarray@}\|\\\\} works for | |
3758 | eqnarrays.@refill | |
3759 | @item | |
3760 | If any of @code{caption}, @code{item}, @code{eqnarray-like}, | |
3761 | @code{alignat-like}, this symbol will internally be translated into an | |
3762 | appropriate regexp (see also the variable | |
3763 | @code{reftex-default-context-regexps}).@refill | |
3764 | @item | |
3765 | If a function, call this function with the name of the environment/macro | |
3766 | as argument. On call, point will be just after the @code{\label} macro. | |
3767 | The function is expected to return a suitable context string. It should | |
3768 | throw an exception (error) when failing to find context. As an example, | |
3769 | here is a function returning the 10 chars following the label macro as | |
3770 | context:@refill | |
3771 | ||
3772 | @example | |
3773 | (defun my-context-function (env-or-mac) | |
3774 | (if (> (point-max) (+ 10 (point))) | |
3775 | (buffer-substring (point) (+ 10 (point))) | |
3776 | (error "Buffer too small"))) | |

3779 | ||
3780 | Label context is used in two ways by @b{Ref@TeX{}}: For display in the label | |
3781 | menu, and to derive a label string. If you want to use a different | |
3782 | method for each of these, specify them as a dotted pair. | |
3783 | E.g. @code{(nil . t)} uses the text after the label (@code{nil}) for | |
3784 | display, and text from the default position (@code{t}) to derive a label | |
3785 | string. This is actually used for section labels.@refill | |
3786 | ||
3787 | @item @var{magic-word-list} | |
3788 | List of magic words which identify a reference to be of this type. If | |
3789 | the word before point is equal to one of these words when calling | |
3790 | @code{reftex-reference}, the label list offered will be automatically | |
3791 | restricted to labels of the correct type. If the first element of this | |
3792 | word--list is the symbol `regexp', the strings are interpreted as regular | |
d4e1eea3 CD |
3793 | expressions.@refill |
3794 | ||
3795 | @item @var{toc-level} | |
3796 | The integer level at which this environment should be added to the table | |
3797 | of contents. See also @code{reftex-section-levels}. A positive value | |
3798 | will number the entries mixed with the sectioning commands of the same | |
3799 | level. A negative value will make unnumbered entries. Useful only for | |
3800 | theorem-like environments which structure the document. Will be ignored | |
3801 | for macros. When omitted or @code{nil}, no TOC entries will be | |
3802 | made.@refill | |

3814 | Any list entry may also be a symbol. If that has an association in | |
3815 | @code{reftex-label-alist-builtin}, the @code{cddr} of that association is | |
3816 | spliced into the list. However, builtin defaults should normally be set | |

3823 | @end defopt | |
3824 | ||
3825 | @defopt reftex-section-levels | |
3826 | Commands and levels used for defining sections in the document. The | |
3827 | @code{car} of each cons cell is the name of the section macro. The | |
3828 | @code{cdr} is a number indicating its level. A negative level means the | |
3829 | same as the positive value, but the section will never get a | |
d4e1eea3 | 3830 | number. The @code{cdr} may also be a function which then has to return |
6bf7aab6 DL |

3833 | ||
3834 | @defopt reftex-section-prefixes | |
3835 | Prefixes for section labels. When the label prefix given in an entry in | |
3836 | @code{reftex-label-alist} contains @samp{%S}, this list is used to | |
3837 | determine the correct prefix string depending on the current section | |
3838 | level. The list is an alist, with each entry of the form | |
3839 | @w{@code{(@var{key} . @var{prefix})}}. Possible keys are sectioning macro | |
3840 | names like @samp{chapter}, integer section levels (as given in | |

3842 | @end defopt | |
3843 | ||
3844 | @defopt reftex-default-context-regexps | |
3845 | Alist with default regular expressions for finding context. The emacs | |
3846 | lisp form @w{@code{(format regexp (regexp-quote environment))}} is used | |
3847 | to calculate the final regular expression - so @samp{%s} will be | |

3856 | @defopt reftex-insert-label-flags | |
3857 | Flags governing label insertion. The value has the form | |
3858 | ||
3859 | @example | |
3860 | (@var{derive} @var{prompt}) | |
3861 | @end example | |
3862 | ||
3863 | If @var{derive}is @code{t}, @b{Ref@TeX{}} will try to derive a sensible | |
3864 | label from context. A section label for example will be derived from | |
3865 | the section heading. The conversion of the context to a legal label is | |
3866 | governed by the specifications given in | |
3867 | @code{reftex-derive-label-parameters}. If @var{derive} is @code{nil}, | |
3868 | the default label will consist of the prefix and a unique number, like | |
3869 | @samp{eq:23}.@refill | |
3870 | ||
3871 | If @var{prompt} is @code{t}, the user will be prompted for a label | |
3872 | string. When @var{prompt} is @code{nil}, the default label will be | |
3873 | inserted without query.@refill | |
3874 | ||
3875 | So the combination of @var{derive} and @var{prompt} controls label | |
3876 | insertion. Here is a table describing all four possibilities:@refill | |
3877 | ||
3878 | @example | |
3879 | @group | |
3880 | @var{derive} @var{prompt} @var{action} | |

3885 | t t @r{Derive a label from context, prompt for confirmation.} | |
3886 | @end group | |
3887 | @end example | |
3888 | ||
3889 | Each flag may be set to @code{t}, @code{nil}, or a string of label type | |
3890 | letters indicating the label types for which it should be true. Thus, | |
3891 | the combination may be set differently for each label type. The default | |
3892 | settings @samp{"s"} and @samp{"sft"} mean: Derive section labels from | |
3893 | headings (with confirmation). Prompt for figure and table labels. Use | |
3894 | simple labels without confirmation for everything else.@refill | |
3895 | ||
3896 | The available label types are: @code{s} (section), @code{f} (figure), | |

3976 | Show the labels embedded in a table of context.@refill | |
3977 | @item @var{section-numbers} | |

3992 | ||
3993 | Each of these flags can be set to @code{t} or @code{nil}, or to a string | |
3994 | of type letters indicating the label types for which it should be true. | |
3995 | These strings work like character classes in regular expressions. Thus, | |
3996 | setting one of the flags to @samp{"sf"} makes the flag true for section | |

4021 | default. In the selection buffer, the @kbd{v} key toggles the reference | |
4022 | macro between @code{\ref} and @code{\vref}. The value of this variable | |
4023 | determines the default which is active when entering the selection | |
4024 | process. Instead of @code{nil} or @code{t}, this may also be a string | |

4032 | macro between @code{\ref}, @code{\fref} and @code{\Fref}. The value of | |
4033 | this variable determines the default which is active when entering the | |
4034 | selection process. Instead of @code{nil} or @code{t}, this may also be | |

4119 | @defopt reftex-cite-format | |
4120 | The format of citations to be inserted into the buffer. It can be a | |
4121 | string, an alist or a symbol. In the simplest case this is just the string | |
4122 | @samp{\cite@{%l@}}, which is also the default. See the definition of | |
4123 | @code{reftex-cite-format-builtin} for more complex examples.@refill | |

d4e1eea3 | 4246 | (@var{macro} @var{index-tag} @var{key} @var{prefix} @var{exclude} @var{repeat}) |
6bf7aab6 DL |
4247 | @end lisp |
4248 | ||
4249 | @var{macro} is the macro. Arguments should be denoted by empty braces, | |
4250 | as for example in @samp{\index[]@{*@}}. Use square brackets to denote | |
4251 | optional arguments. The star marks where the index key is.@refill | |
4252 | ||
4253 | @var{index-tag} is a short name of the index. @samp{idx} and @samp{glo} | |
4254 | are reserved for the default index and the glossary. Other indices can | |
4255 | be defined as well. If this is an integer, the Nth argument of the | |
4256 | macro holds the index tag.@refill | |
4257 | ||
4258 | @var{key} is a character which is used to identify the macro for input | |
4259 | with @code{reftex-index}. @samp{?i}, @samp{?I}, and @samp{?g} are | |
4260 | reserved for default index and glossary.@refill | |
4261 | ||
4262 | @var{prefix} can be a prefix which is added to the @var{key} part of the | |
4263 | index entry. If you have a macro | |
4264 | @code{\newcommand@{\molec@}[1]@{#1\index@{Molecules!#1@}}, this prefix | |
4265 | should be @samp{Molecules!}.@refill | |
4266 | ||
4267 | @var{exclude} can be a function. If this function exists and returns a | |
4268 | non-nil value, the index entry at point is ignored. This was | |
4269 | implemented to support the (deprecated) @samp{^} and @samp{_} shortcuts | |
4270 | in the LaTeX2e @code{index} package.@refill | |
4271 | ||
d4e1eea3 CD |
4272 | @var{repeat}, if non-@code{nil}, means the index macro does not typeset |
4273 | the entry in the text, so that the text has to be repeated outside the | |
4274 | index macro. Needed for @code{reftex-index-selection-or-word} and for | |
4275 | indexing from the phrase buffer.@refill | |

4277 | The final entry may also be a symbol. It must have an association in |

4298 | ||
4299 | @var{default-tag} is the tag to be used if the macro requires a | |
4300 | @var{tag} argument. When this is @code{nil} and a @var{tag} is needed, | |
4301 | @b{Ref@TeX{}} will ask for it. When this is the empty string and the | |
4302 | TAG argument of the index macro is optional, the TAG argument will be | |

4309 | index. This variable controls the default offered for these queries. | |
4310 | The default can be selected with @key{RET} during selection or | |
4311 | completion. Legal values of this variable are:@refill | |

4322 | the index key copied from the buffer is processed with this format | |
4323 | string through the @code{format} function. This can be used to add the | |
4324 | math delimiters (e.g. @samp{$}) to the string. Requires the | |

4334 | Regexp matching the @samp{and} operator for index arguments in phrases | |
4335 | file. When several index arguments in a phrase line are separated by | |
4336 | this operator, each part will generate an index macro. So each match of | |
4337 | the search phrase will produce @emph{several} different index entries. | |
4338 | Make sure this does no match things which are not separators. This | |
4339 | logical @samp{and} has higher priority than the logical @samp{or} | |

4346 | this operator, the user will be asked to select one of them at each | |
4347 | match of the search phrase. The first index arg will be the default. A | |
4348 | number key @kbd{1}--@kbd{9} must be pressed to switch to another. Make | |
4349 | sure this does no match things which are not separators. The logical | |
4350 | @samp{and} specified in @code{reftex-index-phrases-logical-or-regexp} | |

4355 | Non-@code{nil} means phrases search will look for whole words, not subwords. | |
4356 | This works by requiring word boundaries at the beginning and end of | |
4357 | the search string. When the search phrase already has a non-word-char | |
4358 | at one of these points, no word boundary is required there. | |

4366 | @defopt reftex-index-phrases-skip-indexed-matches | |
4367 | Non-@code{nil} means, skip matches which appear to be indexed already. | |
4368 | When doing global indexing from the phrases buffer, searches for some | |
4369 | phrases may match at places where that phrase was already indexed. In | |
4370 | particular when indexing an already processed document again, this | |
4371 | will even be the norm. When this variable is non-@code{nil}, | |
4372 | @b{Ref@TeX{}} checks if the match is an index macro argument, or if an | |
4373 | index macro is directly before or after the phrase. If that is the | |

4378 | Non-@code{nil} means, when indexing from the phrases buffer, wrap lines. | |
4379 | Inserting indexing commands in a line makes the line longer - often | |
4380 | so long that it does not fit onto the screen. When this variable is | |
4381 | non-@code{nil}, newlines will be added as necessary before and/or after the | |
4382 | indexing command to keep lines short. However, the matched text | |
4383 | phrase and its index command will always end up on a single line.@refill | |

4385 | ||
4386 | @defopt reftex-index-phrases-sort-prefers-entry | |
4387 | Non-@code{nil} means when sorting phrase lines, the explicit index entry | |
4388 | is used. Phrase lines in the phrases buffer contain a search phrase, and | |
4389 | sorting is normally based on these. Some phrase lines also have | |
4390 | an explicit index argument specified. When this variable is | |

4539 | Association list with file extensions for different file types. | |
4540 | This is a list of items, each item is like: | |
4541 | @code{(@var{type} . (@var{def-ext} @var{other-ext} ...))} | |

4546 | @end example | |
4547 | When a files is searched and it does not have any of the legal extensions, | |

4554 | then @samp{/tex/}, and then all subdirectories of @samp{./}. If this | |
4555 | option is @code{nil}, the subdirectories of @samp{./} are searched | |
4556 | before @samp{/tex/}. This is mainly for speed - most of the time the | |
4557 | recursive path is for the system files and not for the user files. Set | |

4565 | @code{TEXINPUTS} and @code{BIBINPUTS} to find TeX files and BibTeX | |
4566 | database files. With this option turned on, it calls an external | |
4567 | program specified in the option @code{reftex-external-file-finders} | |
4568 | instead. As a side effect, the variables | |

4623 | temporarily. When @code{nil}, @b{Ref@TeX{}} may turn off find-file hooks and | |
4624 | other stuff to briefly visit a file. When @code{t}, the full default | |
4625 | initializations are done (@code{find-file-hook} etc.). Instead of | |

4639 | Re-parsing is normally requested with a @kbd{C-u} prefix to many @b{Ref@TeX{}} | |
4640 | commands, or with the @kbd{r} key in menus. When this option is | |
4641 | @code{t} in a multifile document, we will only parse the current buffer, | |
4642 | or the file associated with the label or section heading near point in a | |
4643 | menu. Requesting re-parsing of an entire multifile document then | |
4644 | requires a @kbd{C-u C-u} prefix or the capital @kbd{R} key in | |

4675 | Non-@code{nil} means use a separate selection buffer for each label | |
4676 | type. These buffers are kept from one selection to the next and need | |
4677 | not to be created for each use - so the menu generally comes up faster. | |
4678 | The selection buffers will be erased (and therefore updated) | |
4679 | automatically when new labels in its category are added. See the | |

4681 | @end defopt | |
4682 | ||
4683 | @defopt reftex-auto-update-selection-buffers | |
4684 | Non-@code{nil} means, selection buffers will be updated automatically. | |
4685 | When a new label is defined with @code{reftex-label}, all selection | |
4686 | buffers associated with that label category are emptied, in order to | |
4687 | force an update upon next use. When @code{nil}, the buffers are left | |
4688 | alone and have to be updated by hand, with the @kbd{g} key from the | |

4706 | @defopt reftex-refontify-context | |
4707 | Non-@code{nil} means, re-fontify the context in the label menu with | |
4708 | font-lock. This slightly slows down the creation of the label menu. It | |
4709 | is only necessary when you definitely want the context fontified.@refill | |

4713 | @item nil | |
4714 | Never refontify. | |
4715 | @item t | |

4724 | @defopt reftex-highlight-selection | |

4726 | @file{*toc*} buffers. Normally, the text near the cursor is the | |
4727 | @emph{selected} text, and it is highlighted. This is the entry most | |
4728 | keys in the selection and @file{*toc*} buffers act on. However, if you | |
4729 | mainly use the mouse to select an item, you may find it nice to have | |
4730 | mouse-triggered highlighting @emph{instead} or @emph{as well}. The | |
4731 | variable may have one of these values:@refill | |
