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? [That was an honest question from a rookie] Many thanks in advance, Stefan -- Dr. Stefan Vollmar, Dipl.-Phys.

Would be the job of the filter routine. Given TeX's byte-centricity,
it would have to be done even before decoding the byte stream into
characters.

Pretty hopeless, I'd guess.

No big deal. Changing the output was not the preferred solution anyway,
once I thought a bit about it.

Hm, but pasting together random stuff will not be trivial. TeX even
adds a blank after the last character of a line. I'll check if working
with interspersed occurrences of \s-{0,2} is feasible. But I have my
doubts it will be.

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

With Emacs 22 you can also use `M-g n'.

I don't think this is the problem either.

I could reproduce the problem with your log file. In the log file there

displayed.
It is not easy to fix this kind of problem in the parser. So I suggest
you get rid of the pdfTeX warning or configure your TeX system to
produce file:line:error messages. I cannot check if this will work
since I cannot reproduce the problem. In my case (pdfTeXk, Version
3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6)) the pdfTeX warning does not start with an
exclamation mark.

[AUCTeX] Completion of math symbols
Hello! Is there a way to get TeX-complete-symbol to complete not only macros, but normal commands as well, especially all the different symbols in math mode? If there isn't, is there another command to do that (but it would probably be mentioned in section 5.2 of the manual then).
