Emacs
Emacs is the Text Editor of text editors. It is first and foremost a very powerful programmer's editor (with special modes for tons of different languages) and is very well suited for LaTeX editing or interaction with R, S-Plus, SAS or SQL, or even to read email.
GNU Emacs distributions
I distribute the following versions of GNU Emacs:
Other Emacs resources
- See the GNU Emacs site for general Emacs information and the EmacsWiki for hints and tricks.
- The Emacs reference card.
- The book Learning GNU Emacs, Third Edition, published by O'Reilly and Associates is a good reference to learn Emacs.
- Also provided here is my .emacs initialization file (Linux version | Windows version | Mac version) for startup values and functions I find useful. The site dotemacs features plenty of much fancier customization files and other information.
ESS
ESS, Emacs Statistical System is a must-have R/S-Plus/SAS/etc. mode for Emacs.
I follow the first philosophy for using ESS: the source code is real (saved) and objects are created as needed by executing this code.
Read the file ess_s-plus_win-en.pdf to use GNU Emacs with S-Plus on Windows.
