[ESS] ess-swv-pdflatex-commands options

[Frede Aakmann Tøgersen]

Well, what I did was to customize the variable ess-swv-pdflatex-commands. To do that execute

M-x customize-variable <ENTER> ess-swv-pdflatex-commands <ENTER>

and you can now edit the settings of this variable to your likes. I just reordered the default list so that pdflatex, which is part of Miktex, became the first item.

Now the line

 '(ess-swv-pdflatex-commands (quote ("pdflatex" "texi2pdf" "make")))

is part of the (custom-set-variables ...) in your .emacs.

Hope that helps.

Yours sincerely / Med venlig hilsen
