No?

copy_trailer_attrs is not called by anything in preview-latex, so it
would appear like your version of dvips is incompatible with your
version of Ghostscript, or that Ghostscript is inconsistent on your
system.

Another possibility is that the apparent hack of copying GS_PDF_ProcSet
(I don't remember right now what this is supposed to do) no longer works
for some reason.

Re: Hide preview icons?

David Kastrup — 2010-03-16T09:54:32


Maybe there are image formats allowing 0x0 graphics.  I have skimmed
through the code, and it does not look really prepared to skip images.
It is conceivable that making an image spec :string "" and adding
something like
(put 'preview-filter-specs :string #'(lambda (keyword value) value))
in order to have it interpreted as such (only on Emacs, not XEmacs)
could do the trick.

What is "the default .emacs file"?  Maybe you need to turn on document
parsing.


11.84 is quite outdated.  Not sure whether this would make a difference.

Re: Font colour for eqnarray in preview-latex

David Kastrup — 2010-03-16T09:37:36


You likely use color.sty or something similar.  This will reset the
colors to the document colors at places that LaTeX considers
appropriate.  Since preview.sty really has no good way to distinguish
which colors are set by such document mechanisms, and which colors are
set on purpose in graphical inclusions, it can't do much better than set
the drawing colors at the start of the preview and not mess with them
afterwards.

It is likely that using a different color engine (dvips, dvipdf, various
color packages and helpers) yields different results.

Please note that preview coloring has been for years on the "this is
impossible to do different than in the printed document" tab until I got
tired of people complaining with non black-on-white frame colors.

I doubt that this can be "fixed" with reasonable effort, since guesswork
is involved.  It would probably entail messing with colors inside of
preview.sty at the LaTeX level: right now the color changes are done
purely in PostScript by setting up initial draw

Sounds like your document structure is gone missing.


So what do you have at line 69?

Well, this ambiguity doesn't occur anymore: since Babel 3.7j (TeX Live
2003), french is synonym to frenchb and the FrenchPro package is to be
loaded either by frenchle or frenchpro. In few days, Daniel Flipo
(frenchb author) will update the frenchb documentation to advice to
use, as babel's option, french in place to frenchb...

Re: Make "french" babel's option recognized

Ralf Angeli — 2010-03-15T21:14:11


Theoretically, yes.  But I intentionally didn't support "french" because
the name is used both for the babel option and for french.sty from the
FrenchPro package.  The frenchb support shouldn't be loaded when
somebody uses the latter.  ("\usepackage{french}" and
"\usepackage[french]{babel}" looks almost identical to AUCTeX.)  Perhaps
it would be possible to prevent loading frenchb support when "babel" or
"frenchpro" is also present, but I haven't checked this.

Make "french" babel's option recognized

Denis Bitouzé — 2010-03-15T10:36:16

Hello,

would it be possible to let "french" babel's option be recognized by
auctex? This option is, from babel's point of view, a synonym to the
official one "frenchb", but has the advantage on the later to be
detected by other packages, as varioref for instance.

Thanks!

Confirmed here with Slackware current.

emacs 22.3
auctex 11.85 or 11.86
ghostscript 8.71

Downgrading to ghostscript 8.70 fixed everything

The error output by ghostscript was:

Re: automatic insertion of labels

Ralf Angeli — 2010-02-26T19:41:14


No.  It speaks of doing it twice because there are two environments to
be configured in the example.


Probably.  Addmittedly I've never used Customize to configure a mode
hook.  You can try to click on [INS] and then copy and paste the
(lambda () ...)  part from the example into the text box.  Obviously you
will have to edit the list of environments in that code to fit those you
would like to configure.  For each environment you have to put in an
entry like '("<environment>" LaTeX-env-label).

If that doesn't work you might try to copy and paste the whole code
snippet from the RefTeX manual, i.e. including the `add-hook' part, into
your init file and restart Emacs (or evaluate the snippet with `C-x
C-e').  The init file can usually be found with `C-x C-f ~/.emacs
<RET>', though I don't know if Aquamacs still uses that.

Re: automatic insertion of labels

David Romano — 2010-02-26T19:18:39


I followed the instructions for using "customize" to do this, but I didn't 
do anything else, since the "Theorem and Axiom" section said "To do the 
same configuration with `customize', you need to click on the `[INS]' 
button twice to create two templates and fill them in like this: ...", and 
I took that to mean this included the mode hook part.

Since I don't know lisp, I only use the "customize" way, and don't know 
how to translate the lisp instructions for adding the mode hook into 
"customize" instructions.  The Latex Mode Hook group only has a text box 
without choices, so I'm not sure what to enter.  I assume this is 
the right place to be working, though, right?

Thanks,
David

Re: automatic insertion of labels

Ralf Angeli — 2010-02-26T18:50:29


There's no need for that since there is no bug tracker behind the
mailing list you sent the report to.


Since you don't describe what exactly you did this is hard to tell.  Did
you follow the instructions in (info "(reftex)Theorem and Axiom"),
including the addition to the mode hook?

Re: automatic insertion of labels

David Romano — 2010-02-26T18:19:21


I submitted a bug report only to learn soon after that the problem was 
in the file I was collaborating on.  A new section command was introduced
that apparently interefered with creating label within that section.  I'd 
like to cancel the bug report, but am not sure how.


I've spent some time with the AUCTeX and RefTeX manuals, and can't seem to 
make any progress with this.  I've changed the RefTeX label alist to 
include some theorem-like environments, and C-c C-m \label works fine, but 
the labels are not being generated automatically when I use C-c C-e. 
Section and equation labels, however, are still being generated 
automatically with either C-c C-s or C-c C-e.  Have I missed a variable 
that needs changing?

Even after reading this page it took me some time to figure out how to

I cannot reproduce this with
emacs -Q -l auctex file.tex

Perhaps you could provide a full bug report with `M-x
TeX-submit-bug-report <RET>' which should contain a recipe for
reproducing the problem; ideally with Emacs started as shown above.


Could it be that you haven't discovered RefTeX yet?

automatic insertion of labels

David Romano — 2010-02-24T18:47:35

Two questions, really:

1) When I use TeX-insert-macro to insert "\label", I get the message
"Symbol's function definition is void: nil" instead of being prompted for 
an argument.  Is this normal?  How can I change this so that I am prompted 
for an argument?

2) Is is possible to have labels automatically inserted for theorem-like 
environments the way they can be for equation-like environments?  I 
haven't been able to find out what the corresponding variables might be.

Thanks for your help,
David Romano

Re: AUCTeX 11.86 released

Hi,

Maybe my last advice was unclear (I'm not a native English speaker).
Just copy `(info "(auctex) Starting viewers")' without the very outer 
quotation marks and paste it into an emacs buffer, e.g. into the scratch 
buffer, which should be automatically opened when starting emacs.

Then place the cursor after the very right parenthesis and press C-j. 
This should take you directly to the right node in the AUCTeX documentation.

Otherwise Type C-h i and then navigate AUCTeX > Processing > Viewing > 
Starting Viewers.

Regards,
Fred
