Yes, that was the entire problem! So simple. I simply started all files as blank so just inserted my contents after what I thought was the "heading". It now makes sense that there is a line inserted above the local variables when you create a file.
Hopefully someone else can learn from my simple error. There is a single sentence in section 5.2 of the doumentation that addresses this: "You can also insert the file variable yourself, by putting the following text at the end of your files..." Perhaps this could be made more explicit that this *has* to be at the end of the file for it to work? Thanks again for all your help. -Chase On Wed, May 20, 2015 at 11:12 AM, Mosè Giordano <m...@gnu.org> wrote: > 2015-05-20 17:01 GMT+02:00 Chase Dwelle <dwel...@umich.edu>: > > So if I run that command on "foo.tex", I get "foo" returned.
