AUCT_EX is an extensible package for writing and formatting TeX files in GNU Emacs and XEmacs.

It provides the most extensive LaTeX editing support available for a general purpose editor. Apart from the customary TeX shell functionality, it provides syntax highlighting, smart indentation and formatting, previews of mathematics and other stuff right in the editing buffer, smart folding of syntactical elements, macro and environment completion. It also supports the self-documenting .dtx format from the LaTeX project and, to a limited extent, ConTeXt and plain TeX.

AUCTeX was started by students from Aalborg University Center (now Aalborg University), hence the name AUCTeX. AUCTeX is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License. [cite web
