Thanks for this Ikumi, but this produced the following message in my *Messages* buffer. --------8<-------------------------------------------8<-------- Done (Total of 0 files compiled, 292 skipped in 2 directories) --------8<-------------------------------------------8<-------- I tried the same with `sudo emacs' also, but still the message didn't change, but while trying this I found the command `M-x byte-recompile-file' with which I compiled the latex.el and then I was able to test the changes. Thanks a lot! About the patch: I am not a mathematician, so probably won't be able to say anything about the problems Tassilo and Arash are pointing out. From my (probably very little) experience of LaTeX I don't think these changes could ever be harmful for my documents. This is just a personal comment about the changes, please give priority to the comments of experienced TeXperts more than mine :-) Other suggestion(s): If these changes are dangerous for a lot of documents and mathematical writing; then maybe can we have a minor mode, like say, M-x LaTeX-indent-braces with these new settings and not make them default? OTOH if the problem-cases are trivial and rare, can we have the new settings enabled by default and a minor mode to turn then off? > You don't have to clone git repository just to apply a > patch and test it.

Thanks. I will remember this. Is this done with git or some other program by the way? (I mean the patch command.) ====== Best, निरंजन ======
