--- Begin Message ---Package: emacs20 Version: 20.3-10 Severity: wishlist In TeX, \( ... \) is the same as $ ... $ and \[ ... \] is $$ ... $$ (IIRC); tex-mode understands the $ forms but it doesn't understand the other forms, which are preferred because TeX can figure out if there's a runaway \). If you write, say $ x + 1 = 0 is a first degree equation. It's solution is $ x = -1 $ TeX will get really confused. OTOH, this: \( x + 1 = 0 is a first degree equation. It's solution is \( x = -1 \) will let TeX to produce an useful error message. For this reason, I'd like TeX mode to understand \( \) pairs...

--- Begin Message ---It seems to work ok for me in the current Emacs version, 24.3. If you want a more featureful TeX in Emacs, try installing the auctex package.
