Variable: TeX-engine-alist

TeX-engine-alist is a customizable variable defined in tex.el.

Value

nil

Documentation

Alist of TeX engines and associated commands.

Each entry is a list with a maximum of five elements. The first element is a symbol used to identify the engine. The second is a string describing the engine. The third is the command to be used for plain TeX. The fourth is the command to be used for LaTeX. The fifth is the command to be used for the --engine parameter of ConTeXt's texexec program. Each command can either be a variable or a string. An empty string or nil means there is no command available.

You can override a built-in engine defined in the variable TeX-engine-alist-builtin by adding an entry beginning with the same symbol as the built-in entry to TeX-engine-alist(var)/TeX-engine-alist(fun).
