Running TeX or LaTeX will only find regular errors in the
document, not examples of bad style. Furthermore, description of the
errors may often be confusing. The utilities lacheck
and
chktex
can be used to find style errors, such as forgetting to
escape the space after an abbreviation or using ‘...’ instead of
‘\ldots’ and other similar problems. You start lacheck
with
C-c C-c Check <RET> and chktex
with C-c C-c ChkTeX
<RET>. The result will be a list of errors in the
‘*compilation*’ buffer. You can go through the errors with
C-x ` (next-error
, see (emacs)Compilation section ‘Compilation’ in The Emacs Editor), which will move point to the location of the next error.
Each of the two utilities will find some errors the other doesn’t, but
chktex
is more configurable, allowing you to create your own
errors. You may need to install the programs before using them. You
can get lacheck
from
‘<URL:ftp://ftp.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/lacheck/>’ and
chktex
from
‘<URL:ftp://ftp.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/chktex/>’.
