Take the following snippet of code: \verb=C:\= by which, of course, I intend to insert 'C:\' into a document. AUCTeX/Emacs fails to recognize the end of the \verb environment, so the rest of the document gets flooded with brown text. This only happens when final character is a backslash, so it seems that the identification of a command (\=) is somehow interfering with detection of the end of the \verb environment. best regards, Ian Underwood 2005-03-29T20:53:46 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.latex.preview.devel/1571 I have done pretty much nothing at all yet, and I won't be able to do anything today. I just checked what has happened in my local copies of aclocal.m4 and configure.in, and the only thing that I did not check in was the following patch that does not achieve its purpose well, since the prefix might need to strip bin/architecture IIRC (at least for TeXlive and/or teTeX this is likely). I think it would be better to create another aclocal.m4 macro that does this job in a more general way, something like AUCTEX_PATH_PREFIX(prefix1, prefix2, executable) which then sets the prefix1 and prefix2 variables to the path-relative stuff in the manner I outlined previously. David Kastrup 2005-03-29T12:26:22 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.latex.preview.devel/1569 OK, good. Indeed. I don't think I'll have time for this tonight. Perhaps tomorrow. (Let me know if you start working on it) /JÅ Jan-Åke Larsson 2005-03-29T09:14:30 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.latex.preview.devel/1568 We have such a mechanism for various quotation marks as well. It sounds like a good candidate for finding a common implementation, so that people maintaining somelanguage.el can reasonably easy cook up their own similar translation schemes. David Kastrup 2005-03-29T09:09:59 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.latex.preview.devel/1567 Nope. I see it too. Mozilla 1.7.5, font-size 14px (100% zoom). This is my default so I was surprised when it _disappeared_ when I changed text zoom. /JÅ Jan-Åke Larsson 2005-03-29T09:00:48 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.latex.preview.devel/1566 I should have mentioned that I really wanted to already finish this, but have not got around yet. I don't really think this is a good idea. We want to have the defaults cater for a site-wide installation, regardless of whether the operating system distributor has already installed some outdated AUCTeX version. And that means installing AUCTeX in a site-wide Lisp directory, _before_ the already installed AUCTeX instead of over it. Basically that is what I wanted to do. A list of preferred places, after all, is just a special case of a simple, well-chosen rule. David Kastrup 2005-03-29T09:06:41 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.latex.preview.devel/1565 Opinions? /JÅ Jan-Åke Larsson 2005-03-29T08:42:54 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.latex.preview.devel/1563 I swear I didn't write it like this. (c; It should have been something like "In the German TeX newsgroup people are often reporting problems about words with hyphens not being broken correctly across lines." Ralf Angeli 2005-03-29T08:28:15 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.latex.preview.devel/1562 In documents loading german.sty or ngerman.sty, you can now insert a special hyphen string provided by these packages by typing `-' twice. The first key press will insert - and the second will replace it with "=. The third will replace "= with --. Any subsequent key press will add another -. Sounds confusing? Well, it isn't. Just try it. In the German TeX newsgroup people with report problems about words with hyphens are not broken accross lines correctly. So I thought about letting "= be inserted right at the first key press (you can control the behavior with the variable `LaTeX-german-hyphen-after-hyphen') but this is probably too intrusive. Another idea was to cycle through the hyphen strings and hyphenation aids (n)german.sty provides ("=, "~, "-) with -, but this clashed a bit with sticking to the insertion of - with subsequent key presses. Does anybody like to document this feature? We should probably add a new section to the manual containing information about special support for certain LaT Ralf Angeli 2005-03-29T08:00:14 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.latex.preview.devel/1561 It shouldn't make a difference but apparently it does. I thought only CVS Emacs was affected (you know, that hang we've already got two bug reports about), but it seems that on Emacs 21.3 there are problems, too. As we don't have anybody with an AUCTeX installation on Windows debugging this, we should probably add it to the known bugs section in the manual.
