this works for me with 11.86:

(setq TeX-view-program-selection
      '(((output-dvi style-pstricks)
         "dvips and gv")
        (output-dvi "Evince")

Track changes function?

Is there an Auctex function that compares two Tex files for changes and then
Tex compiles to produce a printed document (PDF) showing redlining,
strikeouts, etc. An alternative to the perl script -latexdiff-?

I'm not looking to diff two raw Tex files for viewing on a monitor. Rather,
I want to produce a compiled Tex document showing differences between two
Tex files with redlining, strikeouts, etc..

Check out ed.sty[1].  Not an onscreen tool, but pretty darn close to
what you're looking for.  What is the purpose of comparing the two
documents?

Re: Track changes function?

Hi, Joel:

Thanks for your message. I don't believe that ed.sty will work for
me. I'm not collaborating with the other person via a common Tex file.

I am writing my dissertation in LaTeX. My adviser uses MS Word and
won't use LaTeX. I send him a draft in PDF format generated from
LaTeX. He writes his comments in the PDF file using Acrobat and sends
his PDF file to me. I receive his comments and manually make changes
to my draft. I now have two files: draft_v1.tex and I make these
changes in draft_v2.tex. When I'm done editing, I want to create a
compiled 'redline' version of my new draft that tracks my changes from
version 1 to version 2.

I tried the Perl script -latexdiff- for this function. It worked well
except, for some reason, the coding that it added for sections in my
paper caused errors when compiling (in LaTeX) and I couldn't finish
compiling.  Here's an example of latexdiff code that caused a compile
error: \subsubsection{The \DIFaddbegin \DIFadd{anomalies }\DIFaddend
\DIFdelbegin \DIFdel{anomaly }\DIFdelend literature}
I'm using MikTex 2.8.

If I have only a few of these compile errors, I would manually get rid
of the problem coding and move on. But when I have a lot of these errors,
making manual changes because impractical.

I'm relatively new to using emacs/Auctex as my text editor. I'm
hoping Auctex has a function for what I want to do. But I haven't come
across anything yet.

Forward search and page labels in evince

Hello AUCTeX users,

I have successfully activated I/O Correlation in AUCTeX (11.86 dev) for
evince (v. 3.0.2) via synctex.

Now I found that the forward search from within AUCTeX works fine with
C-c C-v if pages in evince are not labeled with an offset.

To be specific: I use a \setcounter{page}{1} in my thesis to begin page
numbering at the introduction after the title page, abstract and table
of contents.  Another example is the manual of the memoir documentclass:
The first 39 pages are numbered with roman numbers within evince.  This
labeling offset messes up forward search, i.e. it jumps to the correct
page number + labeling offset.

Now, is there someone using a similar setup who managed to solve this?
Can this offset be honoured by AUCTeX so as to jump to the right page?
Am I doing something wrong?

Best Regards,
Michael Bach

Re: Track changes function?

UPDATE:
I've managed to get -latexdiff- working for me. My problem, I think,
was caused by trying to diff 2 files where each one had a parent-child
relationship. The preamble was in one file and the content
(dissertation chapter) was in the other.

To diff using latexdiff, I put the preamble and content in the same
tex file. I did this by combining the (1) parent file holding the
preamble and \include{childfile} commands and (2) related child file
holding the text. Combined parent and child into oldfile.tex and into
revisedfile.tex. I did this to get latexdiff to automatically add its
markup commands into my tex file preamble so Tex could compile the
diff file properly. Automatic insertion into the preamble is done with
the -t option in latexdiff.

Combining parent and child files is a pain taking a lot of time if I'm
going to diff my documents often. But it functions. Does anyone know a
better way to use latexdiff with parent-child files where the parent
holds the preamble and \include{childfile} commands and the child file
holds the text content?

Same here. I'm using okular here after replacing xpdf with xdg-open in 
TeX-view-program-selection.

The style files in AUCTeX don't add macros to RefTeX, they only switch
on or configure certain features which are related to properties of the
document, like a certain package which is loaded.  So in order to
support glossaries.sty one would probably add support for it in RefTeX
and switch that on with an AUCTeX style file.  (Obviously, the AUCTeX
style file should also define the macros provided by glossaries.sty for
the case that RefTeX is not used.)

At the moment RefTeX supports the \glossary command as it is defined by
LaTeX.  And that macro seems to work in a similar way as the \index
command.  Commands like \gls in glossaries.sty seem to work a bit
differently in that they reference a definition of a glossary entry with
a label, so if one wanted to support glossaries.sty one would probably
use the mechanisms for labels and references and not the ones defined
for indexing.  (In your other message you already mentioned
`reftex-label-alist'.)

As you have already noted there is no support for glossaries.sty in
RefTeX or AUCTeX yet.  And at least I haven't heard of somebody who
wants to add support for it.
