Re: Easymacs correction for Texinfo files editing plus question

Just one doubt... don't you think it would be better if tex-mik set it 
right?
Anyway, with this add easymacs makes previews, provided you manually add the 
Ghostscript bin directory in the path (it's not done by the installer).

Ok, now the icon is visible.

Anyway, in the new file you sent me, I would modify the following:

 ;; Where to fins the .sty files, etc.
 (setq preview-TeX-style-dir
       (concat
        (if easymacs-w32-system ".;;" ".::")
        easymacs-dir "auctex/preview/latex/"
        (if easymacs-w32-system ";" ":")))

into something like this:

 ;; Where to fins the .sty files, etc. (only for systems other then w32)
 (if (not easymacs-w32-system)
     (setq preview-TeX-style-dir
           (concat ".::" easymacs-dir "auctex/preview/latex/:")))

The reason is the following. The 'preview-TeX-style-dir' seems not to be 
working under w32. Anyway, if you use MiKTeX, the first time you run 
preview-latex, it will ask you if you want to install the preview package, 
and it will install in the right location under texmf and keep updated. So, 
it seems to me that this command is helpful under non w32 systems, but 
useless under w32 (other than broken). With the original file you sent me, 
if I launch preview-latex, MiKTeX asks me to install the preview package, so 
I believe it can't find the one provided with easymacs. Also, I think I 
would prefer to install the original package, which was tested to work with 
the other packaged and is automatically updated.

Bye
