[Tugindia] how to identify the page break without xdvi

[S.C.Phatak]

Hi,

I suppose you have xwindows on your console. In that case, you do vim in
one window and do xdvi in second window ( in background ). For updating
dvi file, save the tex file in first window, run latex in the second
window and move the mouse on xdvi window. You will see the updated dvi
file.

If you use xemacs instead of vim, you can do this within xemacs
itself. Actually, xemacs is a better editor and one can easily install it
on linux systems.
