Attempting to run `preview-document` on a file using \documentclass{sigplanconf} (found here: http://www.sigplan.org/sites/default/files/sigplanconf.cls) led me to discover the following unpleasant behavior:
Imagine the document structure is as follows: --- main.tex --- \documentclass{sigplanconf} \begin{document} \input{formalism} \end{document} --- end main.tex --- --- formalism.tex --- \input{formalism_atranslation} --- end formalism.tex --- --- formalism_atranslation.tex --- \section{A-Normal Form} --- end formalism_atranslation.tex --- When I run `preview-document` in "main.tex" (or in others if `TeX-master` is set correctly.) I get one of two errors.
