Re: [ww-users] Latex batch mode

[Walt M. <wa...@po...>]

I generally compile latex documents inside emacs.  Emacs's latex mode
is somehow smart enough to do both -- produce a (generally wrong) PDF
file, and give you an error report.  I don't know how it's doing that,
but it's at least possible to do both.
