To LaTeX a file, type "latex file[.tex]". This creates the DeVice Independant file, extention .dvi. But it's much better to just do it from Emacs, using auctex. >, like how to go from > a .tex document to the printer. First LaTeX it, to create the .dvi. Then for a postscript printer: dvips file to print it directly to the printer, or dvips file -o to create the .ps file. > I have the tetex-doc package installed, and there is tons of stuff there, > but I can't find anything that looks like it might be the guide. I'm not sure. Maybe it's called "debian-user@lists.debian.org". I cannot say I've found (or searched) that file myself, though. (I learned LaTeX from the other people in the group at work). > Anyone have a suggestion? Ask me.
