 Description: An integrated environment for writing TeX/LaTeX documents.

  AUC TeX can indent your text as you write it, let you run TeX/LaTeX
  and other LaTeX-related tools (such as a output filter or post
  processor) from within Emacs, and includes a wide range of Emacs
  macros to allow both easy insertions of LaTeX commands, and easy
  compilation, previewing, and printing of your TeX documents.

  AUC TeX also lets you browse through compiling errors TeX reports,
  while it moves the cursor directly to the reported error and displays
  documentation for that particular error.  This will even work when the
  document is spread of several files.

Note the two blank-looking lines in the description field.  The first
is unnecessary and should be removed.  The second should be a line
containing ` .' (ie, space dot).  This is so that if trailing
whitespace is removed - as it might well be while the file is
transported to the user's system - the file will survive.

See my recent postings on the subject for details of how things are
formatted; the same details are available as `descriptions.txt' in the
standards directory.

Also, in the last line of the description, `of' should read `over'.

Ian.

PS: Ian M.: should the standards directory not be moved to the public
part of the tree ?
