That does not even make sense since all of the Latin-x options are the same in autodetection. They cannot be distinguished since they use the same code points. Essentially, a Latin-1 user would get every Latin-x except Latin-1 displayed wrongly. And the same for Latin-2 users and so on. >>> Emacs showed you what LaTeX would have shown you. >> >> I'm not sure to see your point here. > > Where is the point in letting Emacs input display different than LaTeX > would interpret it? -- David Kastrup

That would be pretty annoying for people working with any Latin-x
encoding other than Latin-1 (or in general, any encoding not in Emacs
default autodetection set).
Emacs showed you what LaTeX would have shown you.

Encoding trouble
Hi,
several years ago, I already faced the following problem and,
unfortunately, it happened again yesterday, which made me lose quite
some time.
Let me explain myself: I had a LaTeX file encoded in latin1 that
I wanted to encode in UTF-8. I used an external tool, in this case
`utrac`, which confirmed the starting (latin1) and ending (UTF-8)
encoding. But, when I opened this file in Emacs with AUCTeX enabled, the
accented characters were wrong and it was only when I saw that the file
contained `usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}` that I understood where the
problem came from: changing it in `usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}` solved
it.
So, here is my request: would it be possible that, for the detection of
the real encoding of the file, AUCTeX relies not on the `inputenc`
package option, but rather on the Emacs heuristics and that, in case of
discrepancy between the two, it issues a warning?
Thanks!
