jump-to-dvi

Show the DVI output from this TeX material.

TeX mode: Alt-Shift-J

In a TeX buffer, this command tells a running MS-Windows DVI previewer to display the DVI output resulting from the text near point.

The DVI viewer must understand Epsilon's messages. Y&Y's "DVIWindo" previewer, version 2.1.4 and later, understands them. And your TeX (or LaTeX) file must input srctex.sty (or srcltx.sty) to include file name and line number information in your DVI file. Your TeX vendor can supply these.

For documents made from multiple TeX files, Epsilon can't determine the ultimate DVI file name by examining one of the component TeX files. So the appropriate DVI file must already be open in the viewer. (Epsilon builds a DVI file name by replacing the current TeX file's extension with .dvi. If a file with that name exists, Epsilon tells the previewer to load it. Otherwise Epsilon assumes the DVI file is already loaded in the previewer.)
