<h3 class="section">20.6 Formatting and Printing in Texinfo Mode</h3>
<p><a name="index-Region-printing-in-Texinfo-mode-1136"></a><a name="index-Format-and-print-in-Texinfo-mode-1137"></a><a name="index-Print-and-format-in-Texinfo-mode-1138"></a>
Texinfo mode provides several predefined key commands for TeX
formatting and printing. These include commands for sorting indices,
looking at the printer queue, killing the formatting job, and
recentering the display of the buffer in which the operations
occur.
<dl>
<dt><kbd>C-c C-t C-b</kbd><dt><kbd>M-x texinfo-tex-buffer</kbd><dd>Run <code>texi2dvi</code> on the current buffer.
<br><dt><kbd>C-c C-t C-r</kbd><dt><kbd>M-x texinfo-tex-region</kbd><dd>Run TeX on the current region.
<br><dt><kbd>C-c C-t C-i</kbd><dt><kbd>M-x texinfo-texindex</kbd><dd>Sort the indices of a Texinfo file formatted with
<code>texinfo-tex-region</code>.
<br><dt><kbd>C-c C-t C-p</kbd><dt><kbd>M-x texinfo-tex-print</kbd><dd>Print a DVI file that was made with <code>texinfo-tex-region</code> or
<code>texinfo-tex-buffer</code>.
<br><dt><kbd>C-c C-t C-q</kbd><dt><kbd>M-x tex-show-print-queue</kbd><dd>Show the print queue.
<br><dt><kbd>C-c C-t C-d</kbd><dt><kbd>M-x texinfo-delete-from-print-queue</kbd><dd>Delete a job from the print queue; you will be prompted for the job
number shown by a preceding <kbd>C-c C-t C-q</kbd> command
(<code>texinfo-show-tex-print-queue</code>).
<br><dt><kbd>C-c C-t C-k</kbd><dt><kbd>M-x tex-kill-job</kbd><dd>Kill the currently running TeX job started by either
<code>texinfo-tex-region</code> or <code>texinfo-tex-buffer</code>, or any other
process running in the Texinfo shell buffer.
<br><dt><kbd>C-c C-t C-x</kbd><dt><kbd>M-x texinfo-quit-job</kbd><dd>Quit a TeX formatting job that has stopped because of an error by
sending an <x> to it. When you do this, TeX preserves a record
of what it did in a <samp><span class="file">.log</span></samp> file.
<br><dt><kbd>C-c C-t C-l</kbd><dt><kbd>M-x tex-recenter-output-buffer</kbd><dd>Redisplay the shell buffer in which the TeX printing and formatting
commands are run to show its most recent output.
</dl>
<p>Thus, the usual sequence of commands for formatting a buffer is as
follows (with comments to the right):
<pre class="example"> C-c C-t C-b <span class="roman">Run </span><code>texi2dvi</code><span class="roman"> on the buffer.</span>
C-c C-t C-p <span class="roman">Print the DVI file.</span>
C-c C-t C-q <span class="roman">Display the printer queue.</span>
</pre>
<p>The Texinfo mode TeX formatting commands start a subshell in Emacs
called the <samp><span class="file">*tex-shell*</span></samp>. The <code>texinfo-tex-command</code>,
<code>texinfo-texindex-command</code>, and <code>tex-dvi-print-command</code>
commands are all run in this shell.
<p>You can watch the commands operate in the ‘<samp><span class="samp">*tex-shell*</span></samp>’ buffer,
and you can switch to and from and use the ‘<samp><span class="samp">*tex-shell*</span></samp>’ buffer
as you would any other shell buffer.
<p>The formatting and print commands depend on the values of several variables.
The default values are:
<pre class="example"> <span class="roman">Variable</span> <span class="roman">Default value</span>
texinfo-texi2dvi-command "texi2dvi"
texinfo-tex-command "tex"
texinfo-texindex-command "texindex"
texinfo-delete-from-print-queue-command "lprm"
texinfo-tex-trailer "@bye"
tex-start-of-header "%**start"
tex-end-of-header "%**end"
tex-dvi-print-command "lpr -d"
tex-show-queue-command "lpq"
</pre>
<p>You can change the values of these variables with the <kbd>M-x
set-variable</kbd> command (see <a href="../emacs/Examining.html#Examining">Examining and Setting Variables</a>), or with your <samp><span class="file">.emacs</span></samp>
initialization file (see <a href="../emacs/Init-File.html#Init-File">Init File</a>).
<p><a name="index-Customize-Emacs-package-_0028_0040t_007bDevelopment_002fDocs_002fTexinfo_007d_0029-1139"></a>Beginning with version 20, GNU Emacs offers a user-friendly interface,
called <dfn>Customize</dfn>, for changing values of user-definable variables.
See <a href="../emacs/Easy-Customization.html#Easy-Customization">Easy Customization Interface</a>, for more details about this. The Texinfo variables can
be found in the ‘<samp><span class="samp">Development/Docs/Texinfo</span></samp>’ group, once you invoke
the <kbd>M-x customize</kbd> command.
