Moreover, the trailing ':' means that BibTeX will also search all default folders, after it has searched "$HOME/Documents/tex/bib" and subfolders.

	GNU Emacs for OS X can be downloaded [http://emacsformacosx.com/ here].

			The easiest way to install AUCTeX is from within Emacs: Do "M-x list-packages RET" (e.g., on OS X this would be: Option-X list-packages [Enter]). Then select "auctex" and choose "Install."

	<li>It is convenient to use a PDF viewer that can reload a PDF file without restarting. On OS X, [http://skim-app.sourceforge.net/ Skim] can detect automatically whether a LaTeX file has been recompiled. On Linux, [http://okular.kde.org/ Okular] does the same, and is generally an excellent and fast program for viewing and marking PDF files. On Linux, [http://blogs.adobe.com/acroread/ Acrobat] offers the Ctrl-R command for reloads (remarkably, this functionality seems not to be available in the OS X and Windows versions of the same program).</li>		<li>It is convenient to use a PDF viewer that can reload a PDF file without restarting.
