21.5 From an Emacs Shell
========================

You can give formatting and printing commands from a shell within GNU
Emacs.  To create a shell within Emacs, type 'M-x shell'.  In this
shell, you can format and print the document.  Note: Format and Print
Hardcopy, for details.

  You can switch to and from the shell buffer while 'tex' is running and
do other editing.  If you are formatting a long document on a slow
machine, this can be very convenient.

  You can also use 'texi2dvi' from an Emacs shell.  For example, here is
how to use 'texi2dvi' to format and print 'Using and Porting GNU CC'
from a shell within Emacs:

     texi2dvi gcc.texinfo
     lpr -d gcc.dvi

  See the next section for more information about formatting and
printing in Texinfo mode.
