Re: [AUCTeX] debugging of multifile documents with TeX-next-error (2)
Dear Ralf, They could also use interactive mode. In this case processing stops at an error. I will try to stop nagging after this post: "processing stops at an error" means that I only have an advantage if I press "E" to edit the offending text. This seems to work for me: I see the offending text with a little context. How (sorry, I have tried looking it up) can I get TeX to continue compiling when I am done editing? Am I restricted in navigation when using that "context buffer"? Can I switch on the "syntax highlighting" I have now come to appreciate in normal LaTeX mode?

Re: [AUCTeX] debugging of multifile documents with TeX-next-error (2)
Dear Ralf, This touches the last question of my previous posting: so (experienced?) users of AUCTeX simply have other (better?) ways of debugging their TeX code than using TeX-next-error? Or they do not read the documentation and are not aware of the feature. OK. So what do people do who have read the documentation and for whom TeX-next-error does not work with their multifile documents? Go through the log manually and try to find the offending passages by guessing the context (are the line numbers useful for included source files?), switching between log, preview and source files? I am still being serious about getting better with TeX and Emacs. Many thanks in advance, Stefan -- Dr. Stefan Vollmar, Dipl.-Phys.

Re: [AUCTeX] debugging of multifile documents with TeX-next-error (2)
Dear Ralf, dear David, if I understand the gist of your last comments about my "TeX-next- error" effects, fixing it - if at all possible - would involve "major surgery" in more than one place. That raises the following questions: Is my example especially ugly/ difficult? And why so? Judging by the general quality (again: I have only scratched the surface of all the beautiful and powerful features) of a reportedly mature tool like AUCTeX this must be the case - because otherwise people would have that kind of problem all the time. But maybe they, have but it does not matter a lot because power users of AUCTeX simply have better ways of debugging their TeX code?

Re: [AUCTeX] debugging of multifile documents with TeX-next-error (2)
Dear Ralf,
thanks for the fast reply.
If you progress like this we might be able to give you the yellow belt
in bug reporting soon. (c:
Appreciate.
I could reproduce the problem with your log file. In the log file
there
is the following text:
--8<---cut here---start->8---
! pdfTeX warning (ext4): destination with the same identifier (name
{page.1}) ha
s been already used, duplicate ignored
\penalty
l.5 \include{vhist_toc}
[1] (./vhist_intro.tex
! Undefined control sequence.
l.14 \rwar
{this-is-an-undefined-macro-into}
) [2] (./vhist_spec0.tex
--8<---cut here---end--->8---
When searching for the first error, the parser finds the warning
starting with "!" and then tries to get line number and context.
In the
context the line with "[1] (./vhist_intro.tex" is included.
(Cf. contents of the *TeX help* buffer.) So when searching for the
next
error, this line, indicating the file where the error is located,
is not
included anymore and after the error in the next line starting with
"!"
is found, this information is missing. That's why the wrong file is
displayed.
I got (temporarily) rid of the first pdfTeX warning by commenting out
the title page of our document - we do not really need that during
debugging. Then - yippieh - stepping through the errors with TeX-next-
error works "as advertised" - thanks a lot.
However, here is another (potentially similar) problem: when I turn
on debugging for warnings
TeX-toggle-debug-warnings C-c C-t C-w
(how can I turn this on permanently in my .emacs file?)
stepping with TeX-next-error works initially but then stops with
ERROR: ** LaTeX
--- TeX said ---
LaTeX Warning: Reference `sec:sections' on page 2 undefined on input
line 4.
--- HELP ---
No help available
and no further warnings or errors are displayed. I have attached the
log file, this time from the Aquamax session.
In my case (pdfTeXk, Version
3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6)) the pdfTeX warning does not start
with an
exclamation mark.
Is this a special version? I am surprised to find that both "default"
installation on Linux (Fedora Core 6) and MacOS X exhibit the same
problem, i.e. have unsuitable latex versions.
Many thanks in advance,
Stefan

If you had included the output buffer contents as requested, I probably could have found out more. Thanks for the fast reply. Sorry about the missing logs (but you have to admit I am getting better with my bug reports), vhist.log (Linux) and vhist_mac.log (MacOSX) are now attached. The file "vhist_styles.tex" where the global macros and settings are kept is very messy (I know), probably the AUCTeX list is not the place to ask for guidance with this as these problems are not strictly AUCTeX related? And I forgot the %%% Local Variables: %%% mode: latex %%% TeX-master: "vhist" %%% End: part in that files. However, fixing that still yields the same results on my systems. Here is another thought: then jump to the first error with `C-c `' this does not work well on my German keyboard, so I have put this line into my .emacs file: (global-set-key [f6] 'TeX-next-error) Remember: I am a "rookie" with this - maybe this is the problem (I repeatedly pressed f6 to display the error positions) - altough I do not think so. If I open vhist_spec0.tex in Emacs, execute `C-c C-c LaTeX RET' and then jump to the first error with `C-c `', the file vhist_intro.tex will be opened in the top window with point at the offending macro.

[AUCTeX] debugging of multifile documents with TeX-next-error (2)
Dear Ralf,
I have assembled a little collection of TeX-files ("emtest.tar.gz",
attached) that demonstrate the problems I have reported earlier: when
debugging a multifile document (which now has correct settings for %%
% TeX-master, etc. at the end of each file), "TeX-next-error" does
not show the offending TeX lines corresponding to the log's error
messages in all cases.
This time, I have included a "TeX-submit-bug-report". It appears that
I can observe the same behaviour of Emacs/Auctex on Linux (attached
in the bugreport) and the current Aquamax on MacOS:
I provoke two identical errors in two different files of this
multifile document:
in file "vhist_intro.tex":
\rwar{this-is-an-undefined-macro-into}
in file "vhist_spec0.tex":
\rwar{this-is-an-undefined-macro-spec0}
only the second one is displayed correctly by "TeX-submit-bug-report".
Many thanks in advance,
Stefan

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.
Be sure to consult the FAQ section in the manual before submitting
a bug report. If the bug (or problem) is triggered by a specific
(La)TeX file, you should try to produce a minimal sample file
showing the problem and include it in your report.
Your bug report will be posted to the AUCTeX bug reporting list.
when running latex on vhist_spec0.tex (one file in the attached zip-archive),
the master file "vhist.tex" is displayed, a pdf-file get written. Using
TeX-next-error I expected to Emacs to open the appropriate file and show the
offending TeX lines, one after the other. However, only the last (provoked)
error "\rwar{this-is-an-undefined-macro-spec0}" will be displayed in this
manner - all other errors are listed (correctly) but not displayed in another
buffer.

[AUCTeX] debugging of multifile documents with TeX-next-error
Dear list members,
I have just started using Aquamax 1.0b (Mac Emacs) with the
MacTeX-2007 (Feb) package and discovered the beauty, elegance and
power (and I am sure I have only just scratched the surface) of the
integrated AucTeX mode.
I have a question regarding the debugging of multifile documents. My
masterfile "something.tex" looks like this:
\input{something_style}
\begin{document}
\include{something_title}
\include{something_toc}
\include{something_intro}
...
\include{something_bib}
\end{document}
and all the inluded LaTeX-files end with:
%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-master: "something"
%%% End:
Here is my (potentially embarassing question - please bear with me):
when I "compile" the LaTeX document (from any of the included files;
as described in the manual, this works as if I compiled the master
document), a pdf file is created - more or less what I had in mind.
However, I am looking for an efficient means to step through my files
from LaTeX error/warning to the next using TeX-next-error (or
something similar). When using this with my setup, I am indeed
presented with a succession of error messages (very convenient),
however, the cursor remains in my master file (see above). Ideally, I
would like Emacs to display the corresponding latex source file with
the cursor positioned next to the offending latex command/text.
How can I achieve this? Should I change the structure of my master file?
Many thanks in advance,
Stefan
