21.7 Using the Local Variables List
Yet another way to apply the TeX formatting command to a Texinfo file
is to put that command in a local variables list at the end of the
Texinfo file. You can then specify the tex
or texi2dvi
commands as a compile-command
and have Emacs run it by typing
M-x compile. This creates a special shell called the
‘*compilation*’ buffer in which Emacs runs the compile command.
For example, at the end of the ‘gdb.texinfo’ file, after the
@bye
, you could put the following:
Local Variables: compile-command: "texi2dvi gdb.texinfo" End:
This technique is most often used by programmers who also compile programs this way; see Compilation in The GNU Emacs Manual.
