After I replaced \documentclass{template} with \documentclass{article} , I can both typeset and use preview-latex for the files quoted below. Hence I suppose that the issue isn't related directly to \newcommand and suspect there is something incompatible with preview-latex in the non-standard class file template.cls. --- foo.tex ---------------------------------------------------------- \documentclass{article} \title{Some title} \author{XXX} \begin{document} \maketitle \include{symbols} From classical Boltzmann statistics we know that the probability for finding any particle in a given state $i$ is, \[ \frac{N_i}{N} = \frac{\exp \left( - E_i / \kb T \right)}{Z\kb \d } \] \end{document} ---------------------------------------------------------------------- --- symbols.tex ------------------------------------------------------ \newcommand{\kb}{k_{\mathrm{B}}} \renewcommand{\d}{\mathrm{d}} %%% Local Variables: %%% mode: LaTeX %%% TeX-master: "foo" %%% End: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Regards, Ikumi Keita #StandWithUkraine #StopWarInUkraine #Gaza #StopMassiveKilling #CeasefireNOW _______________________________________________ bug-auctex mailing list bug-auctex@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-auctex
