Announce: etexshow, texshow for emacs

Announce: etexshow, texshow for emacs

[Patrick Gundlach]

Dear ConTeXt hakers,

I am happy to announce the very first version of etexshow, a texshow
clone for my favorite os: emacs. You can download it from
http://levana.de/emacs/etexshow/etexshow.tgz 
If you are fast enough, you can smell the fresh, oven-warm bytes of
the new tgz-archive. It is rather small (something around 30 k). See
inside etexshow.el for info. This has been tested under emacs 21.* on
Linux and MacOS X. Since this is an alpha version, there are some
minor problems. See file todo.

Is there a big difference between Emacs and Xemacs?  On my Linux box 
with Emacs 21.2, I only had to:
(1) byte-compile the .el files and put them in /usr/share/emacs/21.2/lisp/
(a local dir might have been better but I was too lazy)
(2) add a couple of entries to my own .emacs file (see etexshow.el for 
details)
(3) create a dir to store the commands and cache files.
(4) type "M-x etexshow"     to start it up.

The color scheme is nowhere near as bad as Patrick says it is.
Etexshow works great.  Anyone using Emacs to edit ConTeXt files will 
really  save time with it (much better than digging in the manuals when 
you forget something :-) )

Yes, GNU-emacs is the one and only true emacs :) Seriously: they are
93% compatible (wild guess). I did some testing yesterday with xemacs
and added some changes so it worked for me with xemacs.

Version Alpha 2 (on the webpage) will support xemacs.
