11.86; RefTeX: author field parsed incorrectly

Elias Pipping — 2012-05-19T14:03:40

Hello,

I'm on GNU Emacs 24.0.97.1 and AUCTeX 11.86. I use the version of RefTeX
that comes with emacs.

I'm looking at the following bibtex entry(*):

< at >article {MR699024,
    AUTHOR = {Jaru{\v{s}}ek, Ji{\v{r}}{\'{\i}}},
     TITLE = {Contact problems with bounded friction coercive case},
   JOURNAL = {Czechoslovak Math. J.},
  FJOURNAL = {\v Cehoslovackaja Akademija Nauk. \v Cehoslovacki\u\i\
              Matemati\v ceski\u\i\ \v Zurnal. Czechoslovak Mathematical
              Journal},
    VOLUME = {33(108)},
      YEAR = {1983},
    NUMBER = {2},
     PAGES = {237--261},
      ISSN = {0011-4642},
     CODEN = {CZMJAE},
   MRCLASS = {73T05 (49A29)},
  MRNUMBER = {699024 (84h:73045)},
MRREVIEWER = {N. Gass},
}

If I paste that into an empty buffer and call

  (assoc "author" (reftex-parse-bibtex-entry nil (point-min) (point-max)))

from my understanding the following should be returned:

  ("author" . "Jaru{\\v{s}}ek, Ji{\\v{r}}{\\'{\\i}}")

instead I get

  ("author" . "Jaru{\\v{s}}ek, Ji{\\v{r}}{\\'{\\i"

TeX-next-error puts me in

giacomo — 2012-05-14T10:52:59

i'm using a debian sid system, the Emacs and auctex versions are

"GNU Emacs 23.4.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
 of 2012-04-07 on biber, modified by Debian"

auctex 11.86-10  integrated document editing environment for TeX

when i compile an erroneous latex source i'm prompted to go to the error
position, but when i press "C-c `" in the latex buffer a new buffer is created, 
named "Tex Live 2011" and auctex make it the current buffer

"Tex Live 2011" is void, if i kill it or i switch buffer to get back to
the latex buffer the cursor in the latex buffer is not moved to the error
position

don't know if this is relevant, but i have both a tlmgr managed texlive in
/usr/local and Debian's texlive under /usr

for what is worth, this "Tex Live 2011" buffer thing happens also when i use
XEmacs

Hello,

I had to install AUCTeX on a new MSWindows machine. The distribution was
MikTeX which by default contains a space in its texmf path. I followed
the instruction in INSTALL.windows, but the make install partially
failed because of this space. I attached a patch in the file mypatch.tgz.

The web page http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/mailing-lists.html
lists gmane.emacs.auctex.general as the NNTP end of the mailing list.

Is this dead?  Is there some other newsfeed for the auctex mailing list?

Will the web page be corrected?

11.86; Parts of the preview aren't being displayed.

Dan Maftei — 2012-03-25T14:56:21

This is best explained by an image: http://i.imgur.com/1VeVL.png

As you can see, some letters, subscripts, math symbols, etc., aren't being
displayed in the preview. A minimal example is below:

Things were working perfectly a week ago. I have not changed any
configuration files, to the best of my knowledge. I did install Pymacs and
Ropemacs, but that's it.

11.86; XeTeX engine doesn't use Emacs foreground color

XeCycle — 2012-03-06T04:05:15

Any simple LaTeX document containing a preview-able part can
reproduce this.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Set Emacs foreground color to non-black and background
   accordingly.

2. Open some LaTeX file, with some math formula.

3. Set variable TeX-engine to 'xetex, and TeX-PDF-mode to t,
   press C-c C-p C-d.  (Maybe twice is needed)

OK, and you'll see the preview's foreground color is black, not
the Emacs foreground.

Quite a lot has changed in the development version of AUCTeX regarding
the handling of TeX engines.  I just tested it and setting
`ConTeXt-engine' works in my case.  Could you try it with a development
version as well?

preview-1.286; Foreground always black with XeLaTeX

XeCycle — 2011-12-30T06:10:27


Remember to cover the basics.  Including a minimal LaTeX example
file exhibiting the problem might help.

When TeX-engine set to xelatex, foreground color fixed to black.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start emacs with -q (Confirmed with both Emacs 24 and 23)

2. M-x set-background-color to black and M-x set-foreground-color
   to white

3. Evaluate these AUCTeX loading configuration:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(load "auctex.el" nil t t)
(load "preview-latex.el" nil t t)
(setq TeX-engine-alist
      '((xelatex "XeLaTeX" "xetex" "xelatex" "xelatex")))
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook
          '(lambda ()
             (setq TeX-engine 'xelatex)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

4. Find an arbitrary LaTeX document, and C-c C-p C-d.

Also found that if I don't set TeX-engine to xelatex as above,
color is fine.  And I tried using the builtin 'xetex engine,
foreground color is also black.

Thank you.

11.86; auctex/preview menu broken with emacs 23.3

sam sirlin — 2011-12-27T07:55:16

auctex is much appreciated, however I've found an annoying bug with recent emacs.

I have a simple .emacs file with:

  (setq debug-on-error t)
  (load "auctex.el" nil t t)
  ;(setq TeX-auto-save t)
  ;(setq TeX-parse-self t)
  ;(setq-default TeX-master nil)
  (load "preview-latex.el" nil t t)

Then

1. start emacs on any .tex file
    note the LaTeX pull-down menu works fine
2. load some other program file in another window, e.g.
    ^x 5 f file.m
    now the LaTeX pull-down menu is not functional -- still there, but
    nothing in it. The same thing happens to the Command pull-down menu,
    however the other menus (including Preview) are not affected.

This happens on linux, freebsd.

This does not happen with emacs 23.2.

The file do have to be opened in different windows to see the bug.

Rather than a matlab file.m (emacs things obj-c) file, a file.c also
has the same effect. In fact even opening another .tex file triggers
the problem in the original file, though the new one is ok.

Thanks,
Sam Sirlin

Damien Cassou — 2011-12-16T21:49:33

Hi,

Evaluating (comment-padright "%" 0) in a LaTeX file triggers a
"wrong-type-argument sequencep 1". This only happens if AUCTeX is
loaded. Reproducing in a clean environment is trivial (at least in Emacs 24):

1) Create a ~/tmp/main.tex file with:
=======================
\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

\end{document}
=======================


2) Create a ~/tmp/test.el file with:
=======================
(load "/usr/share/emacs/24.0.92/lisp/newcomment.el.gz")
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/el-get/auctex")
(load "auctex.el" nil t t)
(find-file "~/tmp/main.tex")
(toggle-debug-on-error)
(message "%s" (comment-padright "%" 0))
=======================

3) launch emacs with:

$ emacs -Q --eval '(load "~/test.el")'

Some more information follows.

11.86; Vertical bars and fontification

Peter Dalgaard — 2011-11-23T10:16:28

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.

(System info below.) 

Apologies if it is a config error at my end, but I've done a fair share of searching, and I can't find anything. The only thing I have out of the ordinary is (I think)

 '(LaTeX-babel-hyphen-after-hyphen nil)
 '(LaTeX-verbatim-environments (quote ("verbatim" "verbatim*" "vcode")))


In a nutshell,

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}%|
  
\end{tabular}
\end{document}


I'm getting this fontified as if the vertical bars were delimiting verbatim text. If I leave off the %|, I get the rest of the file fontified to Courier which quite counterproductive (or was, until I found the workaround).

Hi, 

 

I'm new to AUCTeX so I'm trying to figure out what it's doing at the same
time as learning it.

 

What I'm doing:

  1. In Emacs, I Mark a region in my source file

  2. From the menus: Preview -> for Region

What happens:

   3. THE MESSAGE: LaTeX found no preview images

 

Attached are the "_region_" files - they appear to be Ok??

Below is the output of "ESC-x preview-report-bug".

 

Hope you can suggest something!
