Re: [AUCTeX] Is it possible to use the buffer-file-name in a local variable ?
Hello, In such a case wouldn't you need that the compilation command is some lisp fonction that does the prior variable setting prior to launching the usual region compilation --- or maybe some hook function is already available for making this sort of pre-regioning thing easier.

Le 05/02/15 à 17h52, Nicolas Richard theonewiththeevill...@yahoo.fr a écrit : I deprecated \includeonly in favor of TeX-command-region, and I now do collaborative editing through auto-synchronisation of files (owncloud, dropbox) instead of sending files around. So I'm now a happy one-file-does-it-all kind of LaTeX user. Even big one-files? Size doesn't matter when using TeX-command-region. I'm working on a 400kB beamer file right now, and it's doing pretty well. OK. BTW, is it possible to ask for another name for the output file than `_region_'? In particular, is it possible for this name to be the evaluation of (file-name-base buffer-file-name), possibly copied in antother directory? Maybe Latexmk could be helpful for this. The main advantage for me is ease of searching and refactoring. I know that auctex and friends have tools for working on multi-file documents, but my muscle memory keeps making me press C-s, C-M-%, M-s o etc. My muscle memory keeps making me press C-c C-c instead of C-c C-b (`TeX-command-buffer`) and I often recompile the whole document instead of only the current buffer :( It happens to me too, but then I notice it, hit C-c C-k and C-c C-b again because I know these bindings. I guess all the references, citations, etc. have then to be recomputed... The reftex-*-document commands don't even have bindings afaics. Thanks to this discussion, I had a look into the manual: (info (reftex) Key Bindings). Maybe I'll do that and use them. I don't see your point. -- Denis ___ auctex mailing list auctex@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex

Yes, I think so. You would use a local variable section with something
like
%%% eval: (setq-local LaTeX-command
%%% (concat pdflatex '\includeonly{
%%% (buffer-file-name)
%%% }\input{main}')
But I don't think `LaTeX-command' is the right variable. Wouldn't it
suffice to add the \includeonly to `TeX-command-extra-options'?
I'm not sure this would work, but your suggestion to compile just the
selected section/region can be indeed useful.

And as yet another alternative: As I understand, your goal is to speed
up compilation by only compiling the chapter you're currently writing
on. In that case, there are already predefined commands to do exactly
that. See especially
,[ (info (auctex)Starting a Command) ]
| -- Command: LaTeX-command-section
| ('C-c C-z') Query the user for a command, and apply it to the
| current section (or part, chapter, subsection, paragraph, or
| subparagraph). What makes the current section is determined by
| 'LaTeX-command-section-level' which can be enlarged/shrunken using
| 'LaTeX-command-section-change-level' ('C-c M-z'). The given
| numeric prefix arg is added to the current value of
| 'LaTeX-command-section-level'. By default,
| 'LaTeX-command-section-level' is initialized with the current
| document's 'LaTeX-largest-level'. The buffer contents are written
| into the region file, after extracting the header and trailer from
| the master file. The command is then actually run on the region
| file. See 'TeX-command-region' for details.
`
And that doesn't even require that you split your document into one file
per chapter.

Yes, I think so. You would use a local variable section with something
like
%%% eval: (setq-local LaTeX-command
%%% (concat pdflatex '\includeonly{
%%% (buffer-file-name)

That doesn't work as:
1. the backslashes have to be escaped with an extra `\`,
2. the buffer-file-name is the /complete/ name (absolute path) of the
underlying file and \includeonly requires the relative path of the
subfile from the main one. Hence, it is enough to replace:
┌
│ (buffer-file-name)
└
by:
┌
│ (file-name-base buffer-file-name)
└
Hence, the following is OK:
--8---cut here---start-8---
%%% eval: (setq-local LaTeX-command
%%% (concat latex '\\includeonly{
%%% (file-name-base buffer-file-name)
%%% }\\input{main}'))
--8---cut here---end---8---

Indeed, the following is OK as well:
--8---cut here---start-8---
%%% eval: (setq-local TeX-command-extra-options
%%% (concat '\\includeonly{
%%% (file-name-base buffer-file-name)
%%% }\\input{main}'))

Unfortunately, my real document makes use of deeply customized
`sections' and I guess it won't work. But, I had a deeper look at
Starting a Command on a Document or Region in AUCTeX documentation
and, in fact, `TeX-command-buffer` (C-c C-b) is /exactly/ what I was
looking for, and that's much easier: thanks for pointing this out!
And that doesn't even require that you split your document into one
file per chapter.
Well, splitting the document in subfiles is a good practice anyway :)
Thanks again!
