The `\begin{align}' control sequence automatically introduces math mode, so there is no need to enclose it in `$' symbols. This also means that you cannot use `$' inside an `align' environment without escaping it. That explains the error message. You may want to see the examples in the "User's Guide for the `amsmath' Package". If you are using `teTeX', you could do that with the command `texdoc amsldoc'. > What i need is a very very simple syntax hightlighting scheme that > runs functionally for editing tex file. You can try `tex-mode' instead of `AUCTeX'. You can do that an expression like this in your Emacs startup file: (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.tex\\'" . tex-mode)) Raghavendra. -- N.
