Add local variables section to localpackages.tex file like this: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- %%% Local Variables: %%% mode: latex %%% TeX-master: "main" %%% End: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can use C-c _ (TeX-master-file-ask) in the buffer to add this part. Without the "mode: latex" tag, AUCTeX doesn't recognize that this is LaTeX file and regards it as plain TeX file instead. That's the reason that `TeX-auto-generate' didn't work for you; plain TeX parsing routine doesn't know \usepackage. > The style file for /IL-format.sty/ is in ~/.emacs.d/auctex/auto/, so > it should be accessible to AucTeX, but it is not loaded: its commands > are not available when editing main.tex. The above local variable section solves this issue at the same time. > The expected behavior, from what I understand from the documentation > (but this is not really spelled out, or am I missing something? where > is that explained in detail?) I admit that its detail isn't documented. https://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/manual/auctex/Multifile.html#Multifile ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [...] Each time you save a file, AUCTeX will write information about the file into the ‘auto’ directory. When you load a file, AUCTeX will read the information in the ‘auto’ directory about the file you loaded and the master file specified by TeX-master. [...] AUCTeX will create the ‘auto’ directory automatically if TeX-auto-save is non-nil. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- https://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/manual/auctex/Parsing-Files.html#Parsing-Files ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [...] The latter command will make AUCTeX store the parsed information in an ‘auto’ subdirectory in the directory each time the TeX files are stored ---------------------------------------------------------------------- https://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/manual/auctex/Automatic-Local.html#Automatic-Local ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AUCTeX can update the style information about a file each time you save it if TeX-auto-save option is enabled. Saved information will be stored in the directory TeX-auto-local, set to ‘"auto"’ by default. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Where is the generation of style files and their loading described?
