Well, it's a bit unclear to me what "detect matching dollars" means. Perhaps you are saying that, in the example below, when you type "$" inside \tag*{}, emacs complains that Math mode started with ‘align*’ cannot be closed with dollar ? \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \begin{document} \begin{align*} a &= b \tag*{AAA} \\ x &= y \end{align*} \end{document} If this guess is corrent, I think it is a bug of AUCTeX and we can fix it soon. For the time being, you can workaround it by customizing `texmathp-tex-commands' as follows (after typing M-x customize-option RET texmathp-tex-commands RET, and saving these customizations, of course): ▽ Texmathp Tex Commands: INS DEL List: Name: \tag Type: Value Menu Command: turns math-mode for its argument off INS DEL List: Name: \tag* Type: Value Menu Command: turns math-mode for its argument off However, your words > after one update, sound strange. Although it's true that texmathp has changed recently, this behavior is the same as before if I understand the relevant codes correctly... Or are you trying to tell something totally different? If so, please let us know, preferably with output of "M-x TeX-submit-bug-report RET". Regards, Ikumi Keita
