Re: [AUCTeX] getting auctex working right

Hello

I'm not working under Windows, so I have no answer for your first
question, and my other answers might not be correct. But I hope not to
say anything wrong.

This can be set by:

M-x customize-variable RET TeX-view-style

I don't know the shell command for yap (it should perhaps be simply
yap) or its parameters. But you can try or refer to MikTeX's
documentation.

After you replaced xdvi by yap, you have to hit the button "State"
which asks you if you want to set the settings only for the current
session (0) or for all future sessions (1). The latter means that the
customization will be written to your init file.

This is normally done with:

C-c C-t C-p

which toggles between latex and pdflatex. If you always want to
compile a certain file with pdflatex, you can set this at the bottom
of the file:

%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-PDF-mode: t
%%% End:
