2.2 Inserting Font Specifiers

Perhaps the most used keyboard commands of AUCTeX are the short-cuts available for easy insertion of font changing macros.

If you give an argument (that is, type C-u) to the font command, the innermost font will be replaced, i.e. the font in the TeX group around point will be changed. The following table shows the available commands, with ∗ indicating the position where the text will be inserted.

C-c C-f C-b

Insert bold face ‘\textbf{∗}’ text.

C-c C-f C-m

Insert medium face ‘\textmd{∗}’ text.

C-c C-f C-i

Insert italics ‘\textit{∗}’ text.

C-c C-f C-e

Insert emphasized ‘\emph{∗}’ text.
