<p>You can give formatting and printing commands from a shell within GNU
Emacs, just like any other shell command. To create a shell within
Emacs, type <kbd>M-x shell</kbd> (see <a href="../emacs/Shell.html#Shell">Shell</a> in <cite>The GNU Emacs
Manual</cite>). In this shell, you can format and print the document.
See <a href="Hardcopy.html">Format and Print Hardcopy</a>, for details.
</p>
<p>You can switch to and from the shell buffer while <code>tex</code> is
running and do other editing. If you are formatting a long document
on a slow machine, this can be very convenient.
</p>
<p>For example, you can use <code>texi2dvi</code> from an Emacs shell. Here is
one way to use <code>texi2pdf</code> to format and print <cite>Using and
Porting GNU CC</cite> from a shell within Emacs:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">texi2pdf gcc.texi
lpr gcc.pdf
</pre></div>
<p>See the next section for more information about formatting
and printing in Texinfo mode.
