Re: LaTeX Keybindings for Math Symbols

Thanks.  I had stumbled across that.

Is there a reason that the auctex menu doesn't have a \begin{equation}
option?  What is \begin{math}?

Thanks,

Ryan

In case you use AUCTeX:

,----[ (info "(auctex)Mathematics") ]
| 5.1 Entering Mathematics
| ========================
|
| TeX is written by a mathematician, and has always contained good
| support for formatting mathematical text.  AUCTeX supports this
| tradition, by offering a special minor mode for entering text with many
| mathematical symbols.  You can enter this mode by typing `C-c ~'.
|
|  -- Command: LaTeX-math-mode
|      (`C-c ~') Toggle LaTeX-math-mode.  This is a minor mode rebinding
|      the key `LaTeX-math-abbrev-prefix' to allow easy typing of
|      mathematical symbols.  ``' will read a character from the keyboard,
|      and insert the symbol as specified in `LaTeX-math-list'.  If given
|      a prefix argument, the symbol will be surrounded by dollar signs.
|
|    You can use another prefix key (instead of ``') by  setting the
| variable `LaTeX-math-abbrev-prefix'.
|
|    To enable LaTeX-math-mode by default, add the following in your
| `.emacs' file:
|      (add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'LaTeX-math-mode)
`----

Bye, Reiner.
