Hello
Hi, my name is Vinicius José Latorre and you can reach me by email at viniciusjl DOT gnu AT gmail DOT com, aka. viniciusjl.
I have been using GNU Emacs since 1992 and I am impressed on what you can do with Emacs. I use it as often as possible. 😊
My very first contribution for Emacs was some modification in PsPrintPackage around 1996. In 1997, Jacques Duthen was the PsPrintPackage maintainer and, as I was always sending patchs, he invited me to become the maintainer. So, I have accepted to work as PsPrintPackage maintainer since 14-july-1997.
On this page you’ll find the packages that I’ve written for Emacs and some links which may be useful.
If you are a novice Emacs user, please, see the links:
All links above are in the Emacs Links section.
For some Emacs tips, please, see the Stevey Blog Rants link in the Emacs Links section.
Please, put your doubt, suggestion, improvement, etc. at end of the Inbox or Something section.

Links for printing package
- enscript
- .:: GNU/Linux :: Unix :: Windows ::.
- Converts ASCII files to PostScript and spools generated PostScript output to the specified printer or leaves it to file.
enscript can be easily extended to handle different output media and it has many options that can be used to customize printouts.
- gs, gv
- .:: GNU/Linux :: Unix ::.
- PostScript interpreter and previewer.
- gswin32, gsview32
- .:: Windows ::.
- PostScript interpreter and previewer.
- gsprint
- .:: Windows ::.
- Ghostscript print to Windows printer.
- Use
gsprint instead of ghostscript to print monochrome PostScript files in Windows. The gsprint utility is faster than ghostscript to print monochrome PostScript. - The efficiency is similar to print non-monochrome PostScript file.
- Also the
gsprint utility comes together with gsview distribution.
- mpage
- .:: GNU/Linux :: Unix ::.
- PostScript modifier.
- PSUtils
- .:: GNU/Linux :: Unix :: Windows ::.
- PSUtils is a collection of useful utilities for manipulating PostScript documents.
- Programs included are:
psnup- for placing out several logical pages on a single sheet of paper.
psselect- for selecting pages from a document.
pstops- for general imposition.
psbook- for signature generation for booklet printing.
psresize- for adjusting page sizes.
- redmon
- .:: Windows ::.
- Redirection port monitor.
- Transparent PostScript printing from Windows 95/98 and NT.
- xpdf
- .:: GNU/Linux :: Unix :: Windows ::.
- Xpdf is an open source viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF) files. (These are also sometimes also called ‘Acrobat’ files, from the name of Adobe’s PDF software.) The Xpdf project also includes a PDF text extractor, PDF-to-PostScript converter, and various other utilities.
- Xpdf runs under the X Window System on UNIX, VMS, and OS/2. The non-X components (pdftops, pdftotext, etc.) also run on W32 systems and should run on pretty much any system with a decent C++ compiler.
- Xpdf is designed to be small and efficient. It can use Type 1, TrueType, or standard X fonts.
- Xpdf should work on pretty much any system which runs X11 and has Unix-like (POSIX) libraries. You’ll need ANSI C++ and C compilers to compile it.

Inbox or Something
Hi, I noticed AsciiMode is duplicating ascii package, and BlankMode likewise blank-mode package. You might like to merge or zap or redirect or whatever to have just one each. (I guess the mixed case is sort of usual, but they’re your packages obviously.) – KevinRyde
Hi Vinicius. Did you really want to replace all occurrences of things like buffer with [[buffer]] on pages such as XrayPackage? Just wondering. Also, be aware that point, for instance, is for the definition of the point, not for the verb “to point”. – DrewAdams
Well, I’m not sure, but if some words like buffer, point, frame, window, etc. in XrayPackage page are links, why couldn’t all other words be replaced by links? Why some buffer words can be a link and other buffer words are not? – ViniciusJoseLatorre
No problem – I just thought you might have made the substitution automatically somehow (global replacement) and might not be aware of it. – DrewAdams
Thanks for your excellent stuffs. By the way, There is a tiny bug in switch-file.el, line 220. The parameters of string-match are in reverse order. – SeungcheolJung
A question about whitespace.el (12.1): When I add a new paragraph to a text file, the blank line inbetween always gets highlighted as ‘trailing blank line’. Which is true for the short period of time when I haven’t started the next line yet, but then it does not disappear when typing more text. - Joerg
My settings: ‘(whitespace-style (quote (tabs spaces trailing lines-tail space-before-tab newline indentation empty space-after-tab space-mark tab-mark newline-mark))))
- Hi Joerg,
- I’ve just tested whitespace v12.1 using Emacs v24.0.50.1 and I couldn’t reproduce this problem.
- Please, send me an email with the Emacs version you’re using and the steps needed to reproduce this problem, starting with:
emacs -Q.
- – ViniciusJoseLatorre
Hi! I am a big fan of whitespace.el; so much so, I have (global-whitespace-mode 1) in my .emacs file. But I have been recently surprised by its behavior when I switch between major modes on a file: the whitespace highlighting goes away until I manually toggle whitespace-mode back on again. I fixed it by (add-hook 'after-change-major-mode-hook 'whitespace-turn-on-if-enabled) in the spot in whitespace.el where it is already doing the same for the find-file-hook (and analogously removing the hook when global whitespace mode is being turned off). I am just curious if you were deliberately not doing this for some reason. Cheers! --felix
- Hi felix,
- No, this behavior was a surprise to me too.
- Thanks for your tiny patch. – ViniciusJoseLatorre
Hi Jose…
Can you please add this to the defcustom for whitespace-style?
(const :tag "(Face) Lines Tail" lines-tail)
I’d have sent you a proper patch, but I don’t know where your repository is. – RyanDavis
- Hi RyanDavis,
- Sorry for the very long delay, this was already part of defcustom for whitespace-style:
(const :tag "(Face) Lines, only overlong part" lines-tail)
