Hi all, I noticed that `TeX-local-master-p' doesn't work in Texinfo mode because it hard-codes comment prefix as "%". Due to this inconsistency, in texinfo document buffer, the menu item Texinfo->Multifile/Parsing->Set master file (C-c _) isn't grayed out even when it has valid "TeX-master:" entry in Local Variables section.
Now that all emacsens supported by AUCTeX have `file-local-variables-alist', how about the attached patch? It fixes bug#33227[1] also. [1] https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=33227 Best, Ikumi Keita
