Given the numerous discussions around that proofreading work (thanks, Frank, for such involvment in this work: it's always interesting and motivating to have such exchanges with maintainers), I think it is needed to summarize what I have ended up to as of now. I'm not entirely sure that I included all suggestions and proposed modifications, so feel free to comment.

- One component of AUCTeX that LaTeX users will find attractive is
- preview-latex, a combination of folding and in-source previewing that
- provides true "What You See Is What You Get" experience in your sourcebuffer,
- while letting you retain full control. preview-latex comes with its own
- manual.
- .
- AUCTeX automatically indents your `LaTeX-source', not only as you write
- it---you can also let it indent and format an entire document. It has a
- special outline feature, which can greatly help you `getting an overview' of
- a document.
- .
- Apart from these special features, AUCTeX provides a large range of handy
- Emacs macros, which in several different ways can help you write your
- documents fast and painlessly.
- .
- All features of AUCTeX are documented using the GNU Emacs online
- documentation system. That is, documentation for any command is just a key
- click away!
- .
- AUCTeX is written entirely in Emacs-Lisp, and hence you can easily add new
- features for your own needs. It has become recently a GNU project. AUCTeX
- is distributed under the `GNU General Public License Version 2'.

- Currently XEmacs ships with its own AUCTeX, so this package should only
