Please keep the list copied. * Will Farrington (2008-12-03) writes: Which provides over thirty heads: . Head usually refers to the latest revision of the trunk or a branch, so it misses the information about the codeline.

(At least it is my assumption that your .profile is not evaluated due to the way the shell is invoked when calling LaTeX.)

Restart Emacs.

You probably mean trunk, not head. Does it work if you start Emacs from the terminal and then run LaTeX?

LaTeX-math-list seems to be very hard to customize withcustom

Heiko Schroeder — 2008-12-03T21:51:39

Dear list, although I am aware that AUCTeX is great, I do not know why it has to be THAT hard job to customize LaTeX-math-list with custom. Just to get `f overridden to insert *frac* I write under KEY VALUE_MENUE Choice the single character f. Afterwards I insert under Value: VALUE_MENU Macro: "frac". After saving for Future Sessions and for the Current Session NO effect occurs. `f just inserts *phi*. I know, that an entry of LaTeX-math-list has to be a whole list. But why is it so extremely hard to customize it with custom. I do exactly what I have to do according to the descripition. Thanks Heiko

Re: Bug: TeX-find-balanced-brace

Plamen Tanovski — 2008-12-03T13:31:16

Thanks. Digging into tex.el I realized that TeX-find-balanced-brace already uses with-syntax-table and also the function TeX-search-syntax-table, which returns "a syntax table for searching purposes." Also TeX-find-balanced-brace work nice and actually as expecteted. I apologize for the noise. best regards

Re: Bug: TeX-find-balanced-brace

David Kastrup — 2008-12-03T10:43:04

with-syntax-table uses a different syntax table. Restoring things that should only ever be temporarily changed can be done using unwind forms: unwind-protect is a special form in `C source code'. (unwind-protect bodyform unwindforms...) Do bodyform, protecting with unwindforms. If bodyform completes normally, its value is returned after executing the unwindforms. If bodyform exits nonlocally, the unwindforms are executed anyway. [back]

Bug: TeX-find-balanced-brace

Plamen Tanovski — 2008-12-03T09:48:37

Hi, TeX-find-balanced-brace doesn't work if there are unbalanced parentheses or brackets in between, like \textit{1) test} The function should modify temporary the syntax table to do the pair matching only for the braces. Unfortunately I have no idea how to change temporary the syntax table. save-excursion doesn't restore it afterwards. best regards

AUCTeX isn't seeing pdflatex

I'm using a hand-compiled copy of Emacs from HEAD. All dependencies are installed. I can run pdflatex fine from the terminal (I added /usr/ texbin to both PATH in ~/.profile and 'exec-path in my emacs config). However, when running the LaTeX command inside PDFLaTeX mode of AUCTeX, I get log output: Running `LaTeX' on `foo' with ``pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode "\input" foo.tex'' /bin/sh: pdflatex: command not found LaTeX exited abnormally with code 127 at Mon Dec 1 22:00:09 Any idea what I might be able to do to solve it?

Ralf Angeli — 2008-12-01T19:33:18

I reverted the change because it did not work correctly. It seems to work if the style information is updated right before the mode hooks are called but I need to check this more thoroughly. Sure. Yes.

Before I update to the latest version CVS, does AUCTeX work with the reftex in Emacs? Any plan to synchronise the two versions of reftex? At least it will give reftex more testing. Thanks,

Re: Re: How to get pdf mode turned on automatically forbeamer files

Ralf Angeli — 2008-11-30T20:35:14

Not really. It looks like a change in Emacs led to this because it still sort of works in Emacs 22. I say "sort of" because of the problems Reiner mentioned in this thread. I changed the code in AUCTeX now in a way which ensures that the style information is available when the mode hooks are run. So if you use (add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook (lambda () (when (member "beamer" TeX-active-styles) (TeX-PDF-mode 1)))) instead of the code quoted above it should work. However, even though everything seemed to work when testing, the change I made may have side effects and cause other problems, so please be on the lookout for bugs related to the style system, like missing macro completion or fontification.

Re: label ref and TeX-master questions

Ralf Angeli — 2008-11-26T22:09:54

And if you select the menu entries "Ref --> Parse Document --> Entire Document" and "Ref --> Parse Document --> Save to File"? In my case referencing (`C-c )') and clicking on labels and references with `S-Mouse-2' is working fine even with this macro in the master file. I've attached a small multifile example with three files I used for testing. This is an AUCTeX feature. See (info "(auctex)European"). This is clearly not related to labels and references, so I wonder why you bring this up here. No idea. The string "cannot find it" is not in the RefTeX sources. Are you sure you are actually calling a RefTeX function? What's the output if you type `C-h k' and then click on the label with `S-Mouse-2'? Perhaps you can make a minimal example (like the one I provided) which can be used to reproduce the problem? Please also include a description of what exactly you do in which file. By the way, which versions of Emacs and RefTeX are you using? `C-h v emacs-version ' and `C-h v reftex-version

Okay, is there a .rel file in the directory of the master file and does it contain the names of the input files? Are the labels listed in the file? Why do you think these options affect parsing?

Re: label ref and TeX-master questions

Ralf Angeli — 2008-11-24T18:15:26

Do your files specify `TeX-master' as file variable? There should be something like the following at the end of each file. %%% Local Variables: %%% mode: latex %%% TeX-master: "master" %%% End: AUCTeX inserts this automatically in new files if the `TeX-master' variable is set as specified on the first page of the AUCTeX manual. Are you sure you have the right menu? The parsing entries are in the submenu "Ref --> Parse Document". The entries you are talking about are in the submenu "Ref --> Options".

Re: label ref and TeX-master questions

Ralf Angeli — 2008-11-23T14:14:44

I'm not sure what the text in quotes means, but the way the label is written it lacks a classifier for thing it is labeling, e.g. "fig:" for figures or "sec:" for sections. So if you want to reference a figure, RefTeX will not be able to limit the offered list of labels to those belonging to figures. This means you got rid of a useful feature. The same goes for the fancyref LaTeX package which also makes use of prefixes to distinguish label types.
