Sorry to disappoint you here, but that stuff was there well before me and I've not messed with it to any noticeable degree. I seem to remember that Reiner Steib might have done a bit more in that respect, but I might be mixing up names here, too. At any rate, the base of the style code has probably not been touched for something like 20 years, so it's quite likely that the reasons for making any particular technical decision in that area are decidedly historical. > While we are at it: David, is there any reason why somebody would want > to set TeX-install-font-lock to 'ignore nowadays so that font-latex is > not loaded? font-latex has different font highlighting from the Emacs default modes, and some may prefer the latter (which also tends to track Emacs' current capabilities better and might be more efficient for that reason). -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ bug-auctex mailing list bug-auctex@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-auctex
