5 Getting Started

To use Muse, add the directory containing its files to your load-path variable, in your .emacs file. Then, load in the authoring mode, and the styles you wish to publish to. An example follows.

     (add-to-list 'load-path "<path to Muse>")
     
     (require 'muse-mode)     ; load authoring mode
     
     (require 'muse-html)     ; load publishing styles I use
     (require 'muse-latex)
     (require 'muse-texinfo)
     (require 'muse-docbook)

Once loaded, the command M-x muse-publish-this-file will publish an input document to any available style. If you enable muse-mode within a buffer, by typing M-x muse-mode, this command will be bound to C-c C-t.

If the currently opened file is part of a defined project in muse-project-alist, it may be published using C-c C-p.

You should also type M-x customize-group, and give the name muse. Each of the options has its own documentation.
