AUCTeX is supposed to be usable as a system default. It is not delivered as Emacs' built-in TeX mode, but using ELPA for installing it will enable it if I remember correctly, and its pre-ELPA mode for installation is also supposed to be useable in that manner. > Since AUCTeX is enabled by default for everybody and if the parsing > would occur to everybody if the variable is set, your argument is > strong. If you use ELPA for installing it, it is enabled by default. If we would aim for AUCTeX only being used as a consequence of deliberate user action rather than system administration activity, the defaults would likely be different. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ bug-auctex mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-auctex
