plain-tex-mode

plain-tex-mode is an interactive autoloaded compiled Lisp function in `tex-mode.el'.


(plain-tex-mode)

Parent mode: `tex-mode'.

Major mode for editing files of input for plain TeX.
Makes $ and } display the characters they match.
Makes " insert `` when it seems to be the beginning of a quotation,
and '' when it appears to be the end; it inserts " only after a \.

Use M-x tex-region to run TeX on the current region, plus a "header"
copied from the top of the file (containing macro definitions, etc.),
running TeX under a special subshell. M-x tex-buffer does the whole buffer.
M-x tex-file saves the buffer and then processes the file.
M-x tex-print prints the .dvi file made by any of these.
M-x tex-view previews the .dvi file made by any of these.
M-x tex-bibtex-file runs bibtex on the file of the current buffer.

Use M-x tex-validate-buffer to check buffer for paragraphs containing
mismatched $'s or braces.

`tex-mode-hook', and finally the hook `plain-tex-mode-hook'. When the
special subshell is initiated, the hook `tex-shell-hook' is run.
