The variable is defined in file "context.el", that means that you have
to open a ConTeXt file (so that the file will be loaded) in order to
be able to customize the variable with `M-x customize-variable RET
ConTeXt-Mark-version RET'.  However, you can also set it in your init
file with:

(setq ConTeXt-Mark-version "IV")

Hope this helps.

Oops, that was my fault indeed, I'm going to fix it in AUCTeX
repository.  Until a new AUCTeX release, you can fix it locally by
replacing line 501 of file context.el

:type "string"

with

:type 'string

and recompile the file with `M-x byte-compile file RET RET'.

This error says all on how much I use the customize interface, I'm
sorry.  Manually setting the variable in the init file as I suggested
above should work flawless (indeed this is what I actually tried
during testing).

Good to know, thanks for the report!

The only differences are:

* compilation with "context" instead of "texexec"
* fatal error messages in compilation output are recognized

Bear in mind that none of the active developers of AUCTeX uses
ConTeXt, that's the reason of the low level of support for this
program.  We need more input from users or, even better, high quality
code contributors.

In Debian there is an empty /etc/emacs/site-start.el file, but the
directory /etc/emacs/site-start.d has some configuration files.  If a
user installs the "auctex" package, there will be a "50auctex.el" file
in that directory.  This file starts with the following comment:

;;; This is a conffile: you can edit it if you like

Thus, users can either customize it in order to load this version of
the package only if there isn't an ELPA package for AUCTeX, or
completely comment the file.

Doesn't setting the environment variable in your .bashrc file or so
work?  I don't think you have to do something special within Emacs.

The `LaTeX-document-regexp' option should be what you're looking for.

When you use `add-to-list' is almost always a good idea to wrap it in
a `with-eval-after-load' (or `eval-after-load' in older Emacsens),
unless you know when the variable is defined in your init file:

(with-eval-after-load "latex"
  (add-to-list 'LaTeX-indent-environment-list '("myenv" current-indentation)))

This should do the trick.

I don't know why it was conceived as a regexp rather than as a list of
environment names (a regexp can be then built automatically).

There are a number of AUCTeX's features hidden in the source code,
this increases the pleasure of discovering new features every day ;-)
Jokes apart,

(setq LaTeX-document-regexp "document\\|foo")

and you're done.

\(a\|b\)

matches "a" or "b" (but in the variable you don't need to put the
outer parentheses, and you have to double escape the backslash), you
have to include both "document" and "myenv" in order to indent both in
the same way.  With your setting I'm not sure the "document"
environment will be indented correctly.

The plain regexp would actually be

document\|myenv

but in Lisp code you have to escape the backslash, so you should use


document\\|myenv

[AUCTeX] AUCTeX 11.90 released

[Mosè Giordano]

.  The optional
argument of command '\includegraphics' now supports key-val query;
keys can independently be chosen anytime by pressing the <,> key.  As
a side effect, the variable 'LaTeX-includegraphics-options-alist' is
now no-op and is removed from 'tex-style.el'.  You can safely remove
any customization of it from your init file.  The mandatory argument
of '\includegraphics' knows about image file extensions supported by
the used engine and offers them for inclusion.

Support for other LaTeX packages was improved, and style files for
several new packages were added.

Many bugs were crushed along the way.

Requirements


It is required that you use at least GNU Emacs 21 or XEmacs 21.4.
XEmacs requires at least version 1.84 of the xemacs-base package
(released on 01/27/2004) or a sumo tarball dated 02/02/2004 or newer
for compiling AUCTeX: please use the XEmacs package system for
upgrading if necessary.

The preview-latex subsystem requires image support.  This is available
with GNU Emacs 21.3 under the X window system.  For Windows[2], Mac OS
X (Carbon, Cocoa)[3] or native GTK+ toolkit support, at least version
22.1 of GNU Emacs is required.  Emacs 22 and later is the recommended
platform for AUCTeX in general.  If you prefer XEmacs, it will work in
version 21.4.10 or later.

You'll also need a working LaTeX installation and Ghostscript.
dvipng[4] (version 1.4 or later), a very fast DVI converter, can be
used to speed up the conversion.

Availability


The easiest way for getting AUCTeX, for users running Emacs 24.1 or
higher, is installing it with GNU ELPA, see
<URL:https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/auctex.html> for more information.
Other download options are available at
<URL:ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/auctex/>.  At release time, we provide the
source tarball, and a platform-independent XEmacs package file (which
you have to install yourself using XEmacs' own package system, after
using it for removing the previous version of AUCTeX).  You can also
use versions of Emacs that already include AUCTeX or a software
package management system for your operating system which provides you
with the latest release.

The XEmacs package file can be discerned by `pkg' in its name.  It is
usually more recent than what gets distributed from XEmacs servers and
as part of the Sumo tarball.

A separate directory for each release contains some stuff from the
tarball, such as ChangeLog, printable manuals, and a reference sheet.
The download area is mirrored to the directory support/auctex on CTAN.
AUCTeX is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 3.

You'll find more information at the web site of AUCTeX
<URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/>, including its mailing list
addresses.

Future development and additional information
-

AUCTeX is proceeding as a GNU project with the long-term intent of
merging it into Emacs.  For that reason, all new contributors need to
assign copyright to their contributions to the FSF (the usual
procedure for Emacs contributors).  The same holds for past
contributors.  The principal authors and maintainers have already done
so, but it would require a diligent and diplomatic volunteer to find
and ask the rest.

Current AUCTeX managers are Arash Esbati, Mosè Giordano, and Tassilo
Horn.  Everybody is welcome to contribute to the project by reporting
bugs and suggesting improvements, but the most effective way of
helping AUCTeX development remains volunteering for tasks.

Yes, that changed a few days ago and this is described in the news
section of the manual
(https://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/manual/auctex.html#Changes):

   * AUCTeX is able to display several levels of super- and subscripts,
 each one raised above and a bit smaller than its basis.  For this
 feature, have a look at the customize options
 'font-latex-fontify-script' (especially the new values
 'multi-level' and 'invisible') and
 'font-latex-fontify-script-max-level'.  Also, the script characters
 '^' and '_' are also fontified with a special face named
 'font-latex-script-char-face'.  See Fontification of math, for
 details.

So you may want to customize `font-latex-script-char-face'.  I suggest
you to keep it different from the rest of the equation, in order to
better highlight those characters.

Hi Arash,

sorry for not getting back to you earlier, sometimes I miss some
messages to reply to.

Regarding the position of the logo, I like that currently its
background color is different from the surrounding color (which is
recalled, instead, by the text color).  With your proposal the
background color of the logo would be much closer to the surrounding,
which would make it less visible, IMHO.

Many AUCTeX's features are very much related to interactivity, so an
animation would serve well the goal of showing off the power of this
editor.  The only thing I don't like in your gif is that it's too
fast, it's difficult to see what's happening, but I guess you
can easily fix this.

In any case, I'd be really happy to see contributions also from

Thank you so much for the offer!  However, I don't think AUCTeX is
suited to be translated.  Emacs itself is not localized, I'm not aware
of any plugin localized, either, so I don't know if there are at all
tools for managing translations of Elisp project.  Even if it were
possible, the community of people actively contributing to the project
is pretty small, my fear is that in the long run localizations would
become unmaintained and obsolete.

If you have experience with Elisp programming and are willing to
contribute something to improve support of Spanish in AUCTeX, you
could provide a style file for babel, which doesn't seem to exist.
You can use one of the other language style files as a base, like
style/german.el or style/italian.el, there are plenty of them.  Also a
style file for polyglossia would be great, currently there is only the
one for Italian (style/gloss-italian.el), but polyglossia is still a
niche in LaTeX world.

If you aren't into Elisp programming, you can still produce some
documentation in Spanish, so you can spread the word of AUCTeX into
all Spanish-speaking countries (and they're a lot!).

[AUCTeX] AUCTeX has a logo!

[Mosè Giordano]

Dear all,

yesterday a new version of AUCTeX was released and Tassilo promptly
updated the package on GNU ELPA and it is already live, so probably
many of you already got it.  Let me thank all people who contributed
for this release come true.

As a first act after the new release, I added a new logo for AUCTeX to
the repository.  There has been a thread on this mailing list a while
ago about the logo, there was a good consensus on the design but then
the discussion stalled.  I went bold and installed it.  For anybody
using git, the LaTeX source of the logo is under etc/ directory.  Just
open the file with AUCTeX and issue C-c C-a to view the output (you
may need a recent TeX distribution to compile the document).  People
not using git can grab the file from
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=auctex.git;a=blob_plain;f=etc/auctex-logo.tex;hb=HEAD

You can see the logo in action also in our website:
https://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/  Two PNG versions are available:

* smaller: https://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/img/auctex-logo-128.png

Do you want this always or on a per-document basis?  In the former
case, you can just customize `TeX-command-list', the latter requires
more work (defining a new file-local variable and adding an
appropriate expander to `TeX-expand-list').

[AUCTeX] [RFC] Do not distribute a package for Windows

[Mosè Giordano]

Dear all, in particular Windows users,

I'm testing the release process, in view of the upcoming release of
AUCTeX 11.90.

At every release, one of the most annoying part is to adapt the
Makefile for distributing an AUCTeX package for Windows.  For example,
I have to adjust the Makefile for the name of Emacs's binary package
and its file structure (they change every now and then).  To make
things even more annoying, starting with Emacs 25.1 there are two
packages, one for 32-bit systems and the other for the 64-bit ones, so
I don't know whether we should distribute two AUCTeX packages as well.

My propose: do not distribute a package for Windows.  Reasons:

* the package for Windows is actually very limited: it is bound to the
Emacs's version it's built for (we usually build it only for the
latest Emacs version) and must be first package installed in Emacs.

* AUCTeX is in GNU ELPA, which is cross-platform and *much* more easy to use.

If no one has objections, I will *not* distribute a Windows package
for AUCTeX 11.90.  My idea is also to make it clearer on the website
that the preferred way to install AUCTeX is through GNU ELPA,
independently from the operating system used.  What do you think?

That's correct.  I want to push forward the use of ELPA (on all
systems), I don't see any point in keeping distributing a package
that made much sense only when there was no other simple way to
install AUCTeX.

By the way, I forgot to add this to the reasons:

* the Windows package we distribute isn't particularly fun to update,
instead updating AUCTeX with ELPA is easy and we issue frequent
updates with bug fixes and new features along the way (so you don't
even need to wait for a new stable release to get them).

Thanks for taking care of this, your changes look good to me.

Side comment.  Since AUCTeX is in GNU ELPA and this repository is
activated by default, the installation procedure could be further
simplified to

M-x package-install RET auctex RET

However, the current procedure makes sure that the latest version of
the package is grabbed (otherwise one may end up with an old one), so
in the end maybe it's better to stick with current procedure.

Let's hope that this will help people that want to install the package!

The installation section of the manual starts with

The simplest way of installing AUCTeX is by using the Emacs package manager
integrated in Emacs 24 and greater (ELPA).

and the description of the process takes more or less one other line.
It looks pretty clear to me, but this isn't probably sufficient, since
sometimes I see people in trouble trying to compile the package from
source.  If you have ideas on how to improve it, please go ahead.

One must *not* manually load AUCTeX when it's installed via ELPA, no
matter if `package-initialize' is called or not.  Indeed, this is
sometimes another source of ambiguity for newcomers.

You got me.  I hoped that no one would have noticed that I didn't move

I guess the problem is that doc/install.texi alone is used to create
the INSTALL file.  Since the reference to post-installation is not
needed there, I think that you can safely wrap the whole sentence
starting with "Once the installation is completed" inside a "@ifclear
rawfile".

Do you mean that some page numbers go outside the margins?  Yes, I can
reproduce this, but it was this way also in 11.89 manual
(http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/auctex/11.89-extra/auctex.pdf), so it's not a

I use helm for completion in minibuffer, but I didn't try
alternatives, like the already mentioned ivy.  Here is a longish guide
for configuring helm: https://tuhdo.github.io/helm-intro.html
However, regarding compatibility with AUCTeX, helm doesn't work with
`multi-prompt-key-value' (function used in AUCTeX to provide
completions for key=value syntax) and helm's maintainer doesn't want
to fix it because they only support recent Emacsens.

I don't use subfiles, but my understanding is that you can compile a
single subfile without changing anything in the source code.  This is
particularly easy with AUCTeX, because in an included file C-c C-a (or
C-c C-c) compiles the current file, instead in master file it compiles
the whole document.  Instead, with include mechanism you have to
select every time the file to be included with \includeonly, manually
editing the file whenever you want to switch between a single file or
the whole document or you want to change the single file to be
compiled.  I don't know whether there are other advantages.

"Methods"?  Did you "Master"?

Anyway, a few hours ago was installed in AUCTeX a new patch that
should improve your workflow with this package.  For example, this is
my master file:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{subfiles,amsmath}
\begin{document}
hello world!
\begin{equation}
  \label{eq:1}
  a + b = c
\end{equation}
\subfile{file1.tex}
\end{document}

%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-master: t
%%% End:
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

and this is my file1.tex file:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
\documentclass[master.tex]{subfiles}

\begin{document}
Equation~\eqref{eq:1}
\end{document}

%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-master: t
%%% End:
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

Inside file1.tex, now I can insert with RefTeX a reference defined in
another file (like what I did to insert the reference to "eq:1"
label).  Is this what you would like?

Re: [AUCTeX] A problem with \parencite and fill-paragraph

[Mosè Giordano]

Hi all,

first of all, thanks to Adam for the report and the correct guess
about the culprit!

I think we all came up with similar solutions.  I was concerned about
performance of Arash's fix, but according to `benchmark-run' the
overhead isn't large (slowdown of the order of few percents) and
shouldn't be noticeable in normal situations.

Arash, if you're going to install your patch, please add also a test.
I know that writing tests is one of the most annoying part of coding,
yet it's very important because it ensures that we won't break
something again in the future.

I don't think it's necessary to touch `gc-cons-threshold' here.  When
I expressed concerns about performance I was thinking that the
function was called much more often, instead it's probably used once
per visited document, or something like that.

To copy a specific attribute (foreground in this case) you can use
something like

--8<---cut here---start->8---
(with-eval-after-load "font-latex"
  (set-face-attribute 'font-latex-script-char-face nil
  :foreground (face-attribute 'font-latex-math-face
  :foreground)))
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

or replace the `(face-attribute ...)' with the color you like.

I don't know if there is something simpler.  You can inherit an entire
face with `:inherit` attribute, but that doesn't override other
attributes already set.

In Okular it's Shift + click.  You have also to setup the viewer: in

It's strange that the slave file can't find the information about the
master file.  Is there the auxiliary file autogenerated after parsing
(should be in auto/gangadhara-tr-xelatex.el)?  If not, try creating it
with C-c C-n in the master file and then issue C-c C-n also in the
slave file.  Is it fixed now?

[AUCTeX] Preparing new AUCTeX version and comments about more frequent releases

[Mosè Giordano]

Dear all,

the latest stable release of AUCTeX doesn't include the fix for the
parsing of TeX Live 2017 logs (see
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/auctex/2017-04/msg7.html), so
now that TeX Live 2017 has been release it's a good idea to release
AUCTeX 11.91.  Is there any other quick change that you would like to
see into this version?

In addition, Norbert Preining expressed[1] the wish to see more
synchronization between ELPA releases and stable releases, because
GNU/Linux distributions rely on the latter, which however often lag
behind ELPA versions.  As I explained to him on TeX.se, it's a general
trend in the Emacs ecosystem to favor ELPA to install and update
packages.  In addition, AUCTeX used to have a very awkward method of
installation on Windows that was even more awkward for upgrades, on
this system ELPA very easily solves our problems.

I'd like to cooperate as much as possible with downstream
distributors, but I'm not sure about what's the best way to do it:

* start tagging and releasing bug-fix versions also in the main
repository (not only in ELPA)?
* continue to not tagging bug-fix versions but do more frequent stable releases?
* other options?

Bye,
Mosè

I'm not sure this workflow would work for a program with few people
using the git version.  I guess this is the case for AUCTeX, but I
don't numbers to back up this assumption.

Ok, we'll return on this topic later.

I stand corrected, I get `11.91' as expected.  I was running the test
in a directory that was actually a clone of my git repo, so configure
was using the version number from git.  After deleting the git
directory, the version number got right.

I don't see what may be the problem in ELPA, version number in
auctex.el was changed correctly:

Hi Tristan,

I don't know what went wrong in ELPA, but actually also in the tarball
the version seems to be wrong: I get `release_11_91'.  This isn't
really *wrong*, but I'd have expected it to be `11.91', and this may
be the reason for the inaccurate version number in ELPA.  Will look
into this, thanks.

Yes, but I think this file is generated automatically, or not?  It is

[AUCTeX] AUCTeX 11.91 released

[Mosè Giordano]

ires image support.  This is available
with GNU Emacs 21.3 under the X window system.  For Windows[2], Mac OS
X (Carbon, Cocoa)[3] or native GTK+ toolkit support, at least version
22.1 of GNU Emacs is required.  Emacs 22 and later is the recommended
platform for AUCTeX in general.  If you prefer XEmacs, it will work in
version 21.4.10 or later.

You'll also need a working LaTeX installation and Ghostscript.
dvipng[4] (version 1.4 or later), a very fast DVI converter, can be
used to speed up the conversion.

Availability


The easiest way for getting AUCTeX, for users running Emacs 24.1 or
higher, is installing it with GNU ELPA, see
<URL:https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/auctex.html> for more information.
Other download options are available at
<URL:ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/auctex/>.  At release time, we provide the
source tarball, and a platform-independent XEmacs package file (which
you have to install yourself using XEmacs' own package system, after
using it for removing the previous version of AUCTeX).  You can also
use versions of Emacs that already include AUCTeX or a software
package management system for your operating system which provides you
with the latest release.

The XEmacs package file can be discerned by `pkg' in its name.  It is
usually more recent than what gets distributed from XEmacs servers and
as part of the Sumo tarball.

A separate directory for each release contains some stuff from the
tarball, such as ChangeLog, printable manuals, and a reference sheet.
The download area is mirrored to the directory support/auctex on CTAN.
AUCTeX is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 3.

You'll find more information at the web site of AUCTeX
<URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/>, including its mailing list
addresses.

Future development and additional information
-

AUCTeX is proceeding as a GNU project with the long-term intent of
merging it into Emacs.  For that reason, all new contributors need to
assign copyright to their contributions to the FSF (the usual
procedure for Emacs contributors).  The same holds for past
contributors.  The principal authors and maintainers have already done
so, but it would require a diligent and diplomatic volunteer to find
and ask the rest.

Current AUCTeX managers are Arash Esbati, Mosè Giordano, and Tassilo
Horn.  Everybody is welcome to contribute to the project by reporting
bugs and suggesting improvements, but the most effective way of
helping AUCTeX development remains volunteering for tasks.

The following people contributed to this release series (in
alphabetical order): Ivan Andrus, Ralf Angeli, Masayuki Ataka, Fabrice
Ben Hamouda, Thomas Baumann, Vincent Belaïche, Berend de Boer, Uwe

Re: [AUCTeX] Preparing new AUCTeX version and comments about more frequent releases

Hi Norbert,

first of all, thanks for raising the issue of the important bugfix
missing in a stable release.  Lately the development of AUCTeX slowed
down and rolling a new release went outside my radar.

Ok, that's an option we can definitely consider and it's probably the
solution with less grief.

Well, this would be by far the best solution for us.  Tagging a commit
is very easy, preparing a tarball requires more work because from
version to version there is something to adjust, especially in the
Windows tarball, which is no more distributed, luckily.

Hopefully, this would be a one-time work.

We have the Debian maintainer reading us :-)  Davide, do you think
you'd be able in the future to prepare the Debian package from a git
tag or an ELPA package?

Anyway, I don't want to take a decision right now, this won't affect
release of AUCTeX 11.91 which I'll do in the next few days, after
Keita applies his patch.

Looks good, and they're also only stylistic changes, so should be safe

AUCTeX already has you covered.  If you have a recent version (>=
11.88, but I strongly recommend always using the latest ELPA version)
you can use C-c C-a to compile the document (it'll run all the needed
command to completely build it) and automatically open the viewer.  In
addition, if you set `TeX-error-overview-open-after-TeX-run' to t, the
error overview will be presented to you.  You can either customize the
variable with

M-x customize-variable RET TeX-error-overview-open-after-TeX-run RET

and toggle to "on", or add the following line to your init file:

(setq TeX-error-overview-open-after-TeX-run t)

C-c C-a is basically meant to replace your C-c C-c workflow, unless
you want to run just once a specific command.

AUCTeX doesn't provide autocompletion in that way, I guess you're
using a third-party package for that purpose.  If you want to unleash
AUCTeX's power, use C-c C-s to insert a new section, C-c C-e for a new
environment, C-c C-m (or C-c RET) for a new command.  Read the Quick
Start section of the manual:

Do you use RefTeX to manage bibliography?  That's a really powerful
package shipped with Emacs, you only have to activate it and plug into
AUCTeX, see https://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/manual/reftex.html#SEC50

Anyway, did you enable file parsing, as suggested in the Quick Start

Not super-easy, but yes, it's possible with a few Elisp lines:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
(add-hook
 'TeX-error-overview-mode-hook
 (lambda ()
   (setq tabulated-list-format [("File" 25 nil)
("Line" 5 nil :right-align t)
("Type" 7 nil)
("Message" 0 nil)]
 tabulated-list-padding 1
 tabulated-list-entries TeX-error-overview-list-entries)
   (tabulated-list-init-header)
   (tabulated-list-print)))
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

You can set the width of each column by adjusting the number after the
column name.

I can't reproduce your issue.  Exactly, what version of AUCTeX are you

should have an entry like

Yes, of course ;-)  You have to customize the `TeX-electric-math'
option 
(https://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/manual/auctex.html#index-TeX_002delectric_002dmath):


 -- User Option: TeX-electric-math
 If the variable is non-nil and you type '$' outside math mode,
 AUCTeX will automatically insert the opening and closing symbols
 for an inline equation and put the point between them.  The opening
 symbol will blink when 'blink-matching-paren' is non-nil.  If
 'TeX-electric-math' is nil, typing '$' simply inserts '$' at point,
 this is the default.

 Besides 'nil', possible values for this variable are '(cons "$"
 "$")' for TeX inline equations '$...$', and '(cons "\\(" "\\)")'
 for LaTeX inline equations '\(...\)'.

 If the variable is non-nil and point is inside math mode right
 between a couple of single dollars, pressing '$' will insert
 another pair of dollar signs and leave the point between them.
 Thus, if 'TeX-electric-math' is set to '(cons "$" "$")' you can
 easily obtain a TeX display equation '$$...$$' by pressing '$'
 twice in a row.  (Note that you should not use double dollar signs
 in LaTeX because this practice can lead to wrong spacing in typeset
 documents.)

 In addition, when the variable is non-nil and there is an active
 region outside math mode, typing '$' will put around the active
 region symbols for opening and closing inline equation and keep the
 region active, leaving point after the closing symbol.  By pressing
 repeatedly '$' while the region is active you can toggle between an
 inline equation, a display equation, and no equation.  To be
 precise, '$...$' is replaced by '$$...$$', whereas '\(...\)' is
 replaced by '\[...\]'.

   If you want to automatically insert '$...$' in plain TeX files, and
'\(...\)' in LaTeX files by pressing '$', add the following to your init
file
 (add-hook 'plain-TeX-mode-hook
   (lambda () (set (make-variable-buffer-local 'TeX-electric-math)
   (cons "$" "$"
 (add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook
   (lambda () (set (make-variable-buffer-local 'TeX-electric-math)
   (cons "\\(" "\\)"

I believe this is fixed if you have a recent LaTeX version (2015/01/01
or newer, which is in TeX Live 2016).

> - is synonym to `\begin{equation*}...\end{equation*}' if `amsmath' is

If you set `LaTeX-electric-left-right-brace'
(https://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/manual/auctex.html#index-LaTeX_002delectric_002dleft_002dright_002dbrace)
to non nil, as you as you type "\[", the closing "\]" is inserted
after point.

The associations "$...$" → "$$...$$" and "\(...\)" → "\[...\]" are
hard-coded in `TeX-insert-dollar', there is currently no easy way to
overturn them.

This isn't always true, there are cases where an empty group does
actually harm, see for example this thread that led to introduction of
`TeX-insert-braces-alist':
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/auctex-devel/2013-09/msg00012.html
I'm not sure if this is the case for \pause.  If so, it should
definitely be added by default to `TeX-insert-braces-alist' like in
booktabs.el, otherwise users that just don't like braces after \pause
can customize that variable.

What do you refer to?  If you plug RefTeX into AUCTeX, it acts as a
backend, you still continue to use the same AUCTeX interface to manage
bibliography.

Where is the bibliography file located?  Do you have an autogenerated
file for it?  If the file is in the same directory as the main TeX
file, you just need to edit the file (no actual edit, saving the file
will trigger parsing of the file).  Please note that due to a
long-standing issue in AUCTeX, the bibliography file should not have
the same base name as the TeX files.

Thanks for the example.  AUCTeX reads the output buffer to decide
whether it needs to run LaTeX again.  Some packages emit warnings in
the log to suggest that LaTeX should be run again (only when really
necessary, otherwise would be useless), but here there is nothing that
can help AUCTeX.  Maybe ask this feature to the package author?

Regarding latexmk, it runs twice LaTeX on this simple document

--8<---cut here---start->8---
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\begin{document}
Hello, world!
\end{document}
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

so probably doesn't do anything special with exsheets package.

Re: [AUCTeX] How to configure TeX special characters?

[Mosè Giordano]

Hi Marcin,

I tend to agree with David, fontification in AUCTeX is known to fail
at some point when too many catcodes are changed.  Sophisticated LaTeX
style files are not so nicely displayed by AUCTeX.  It would be
awesome to make this more configurable, the problem is that this is *a
lot* of work.  In AUCTeX, the character to start macros should be
always indicated with `TeX-esc' (also because TeXinfo uses a different
character), but I'm pretty sure there are many places where a
hard-coded backslash is used.  Or, the start of comment should be
indicated with `TeX-comment-start-regexp', but this is never used in
"font-latex.el".

In previous versions of AUCTeX, you had to manually run C-c C-c
multiple times in order to fully compile the document, being the
default command suggested by AUCTeX decided by `TeX-command-default'.
C-c C-a is a recent addition to AUCTeX, it automatically runs all
commands detected by `TeX-command-default', it makes the sequence C-c
C-c RET C-c C-c RET... completely automatic.  In most cases, C-c C-a
runs LaTeX, the bibliography engine, and makeindex the right number of
times.  If you believe that sometimes `TeX-command-default' fails to
detect a necessary command, please share this situation so that we can
improve its logic.

In any case, when you need to manually run a command (say, LaTeX), you
can always use good ol' C-c C-c.

The Chicago style probably refers to the style for Bibtex, not

Yes, see the first item of the list of known bugs:
https://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/manual/auctex.html#Bugs
Unfortunately, you can't have two files with the same basename, if you
expect to have a style file for both of them.  Thus, you have a style
file for the .tex file, but not for the .cls one.  The simplest
workaround is to change the basename of one of them.

Admittedly, this is the single most annoying bug in AUCTeX, and any
fix would be most probably breaking.

If you have it, try deleting the auto/hdr.el file, automatically
generated by AUCTeX when parsing the document.  The value of
`TeX-command-extra-options' is stored there, in order to make it
available to all files part of the same document, but if you change
the value of that variable you can incur this nuisance.

In addition, note that you can enable `TeX-source-correlate-mode' in
order to get forward/inverse search, without setting `--synctex=1' in
in `TeX-command-extra-options'.

Thanks for the report.  I guess the value of `TeX-tree-roots' for you

C-h v TeX-tree-roots RET

[AUCTeX] AUCTeX 11.92 released

[Mosè Giordano]

Release notes for AUCTeX 11.92 with preview-latex
=

AUCTeX provides by far the most wide-spread and sophisticated
environment for editing LaTeX, TeX, ConTeXt and Texinfo documents with
Emacs or XEmacs.  Combined with packages like RefTeX, flyspell and
others it is pretty much without peer as a comprehensive authoring
solution for a large variety of operating system platforms and TeX
distributions.  It supports document-dependent completion and syntax
highlighting, easily accessible menus, jumping to error locations in
the source file, a number of editing shortcuts, intelligent
indentation and filling of text during entry, and WYSIWYG previews of
graphical elements like math formulas right in the Emacs source
buffer, by virtue of its preview-latex component.

One part of the preview-latex subsystem is the central `preview.sty'
file that is independently useful for a number of applications and is
available in unbundled form from CTAN.[1]

AUCTeX needs volunteers in particular for non-programming tasks:
documentation writing, tutorials, translations, reference material,
sleuth work, testing.

New features and fixed bugs in this release
---

preview-latex is compatible with Ghostscript 9.22 where the
operator '.runandhide' is removed.  All occurrences of
'.runandhide' in preview-latex are replaced by alternative code
making it work with Ghostscript 9.22 again.

AUCTeX has a new customize option
'TeX-math-input-method-off-regexp'.  When you begin to input a math
formula, the current input method is turned off if its name matches
this regular expression.

In fact this variable was introduced long before, but has not been
documented in info files nor turned into a customize option with
'defcustom' until this release.

The window system focus is pulled back to Emacs when viewing with
evince-compatible viewers if a new customize option
'TeX-view-evince-keep-focus' is non-nil.

The usual dose of bug fixes was administered.

Requirements


It is required that you use at least GNU Emacs 21 or XEmacs 21.4.
XEmacs requires at least version 1.84 of the xemacs-base package
(released on 01/27/2004) or a sumo tarball dated 02/02/2004 or newer
for compiling AUCTeX: please use the XEmacs package system for
upgrading if necessary.

The preview-latex subsystem requires image support.  This is available
with GNU Emacs 21.3 under the X window system.  For Windows[2], Mac OS
X (Carbon, Cocoa)[3] or native GTK+ toolkit support, at least version
22.1 of GNU Emacs is required.  Emacs 22 and later is the recommended
platform for AUCTeX in general.  If you prefer XEmacs, it will work in
version 21.4.10 or later.

You'll also need a working LaTeX installation and Ghostscript.
dvipng[4] (version 1.4 or later), a very fast DVI converter, can be
used to speed up the conversion.

NOTE: This will be the last release in the 11 series.  Version 12 of
AUCTeX, which is due to come in a few days, will support only GNU
Emacs 24 or higher.

Availability


The easiest way for getting AUCTeX, for users running Emacs 24.1 or
higher, is installing it with GNU ELPA, see
<URL:https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/auctex.html> for more information.
Other download options are available at
<URL:ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/auctex/>.  At release time, we provide the
source tarball, and a platform-independent XEmacs package file (which
you have to install yourself using XEmacs' own package system, after
using it for removing the previous version of AUCTeX).  You can also
use versions of Emacs that already include AUCTeX or a software
package management system for your operating system which provides you
with the latest release.

The XEmacs package file can be discerned by `pkg' in its name.  It is
usually more recent than what gets distributed from XEmacs servers and
as part of the Sumo tarball.

A separate directory for each release contains some stuff from the
tarball, such as ChangeLog, printable manuals, and a reference sheet.
The download area is mirrored to the directory support/auctex on CTAN.
AUCTeX is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 3.

You'll find more information at the web site of AUCTeX
<URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/>, including its mailing list
addresses.

Future development and additional information
-

AUCTeX is proceeding as a GNU project with the long-term intent of
merging it into Emacs.  For that reason, all new contributors need to
assign copyright to their contributions to the FSF (the usual
procedure for Emacs contributors).  The same holds for past
contributors.  The principal authors and maintainers have already done
so, but it would require a diligent and diplomatic volunteer to find
and ask the rest.

Current AUCTeX managers are Arash Esbati, Mosè Giordano, and Tassilo
Horn.  Everybody is welcome to contribute to the project by reporting

so, but it would require a diligent and diplomatic volunteer to find

Hi Sivaram,

the latest commit in git should have fixed the issue

I think that currently AUCTeX knows nothing about conditionals in
general.  I'm not sure it's worth starting from fontification of this
very particular case.

I seem to remember David explained that "\input" was used to make
something work (region-compilation?).  I looked for this explanation
in my inbox but I can't find it, hopefully David can tell us more.  If
"\input" is really not needed anymore then removing "\input" when
calling TeX is a good solution.

I guess you're "\include"ing the files, rather than "\input"ting them,
right?  I agree it would be a good idea to clean up the auxiliary
files for secondary files, but the way AUCTeX currently records the
names of the included files this isn't supereasy.  They're listed in
`TeX-active-styles', but mixed together with classes and packages, so
it's difficult to extract just the names of the included files.

Unless you have a real need to use "\include", with "\input" you don't
have multiple auxiliary files.

Add the following code to your init file:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
(defun mg-LaTeX-includegraphics-read-file-basename ()
  (file-name-base
   (read-file-name
"Image file: " nil nil nil nil
(lambda (fname)
  (or (file-directory-p fname)
  (string-match (LaTeX-includegraphics-extensions) fname))

(setq LaTeX-includegraphics-read-file
  'mg-LaTeX-includegraphics-read-file-basename)
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

This is adapted from `LaTeX-includegraphics-read-file-relative', it
returns the basename of file, without path and extension (which is
fine for LaTeX).

Using the test1 file, try adding the following snippet to your Emacs init file:

(with-eval-after-load "preview"
  (add-to-list 'preview-default-preamble
   "\\PreviewEnvironment*{frame}" t))

In the attached image you can see how it's rendered for me with this code.

The ELPA package is built from the git repo, but indeed you can't use
the ELPA package to develop the package itselft.

Actually, the question has been already asked a few times before, here
you can find a quick & dirty solution:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/auctex/2013-08/msg5.html.  At
https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=auctex you can find the
information about how to clone the git repository.

I'm not sure what "references" you're referring to.  AUCTeX dropped
support for XEmacs in version 12.

I'm looking forward to seeing your contributions!

I think I already answered your concern a couple of years ago on
TeX.se: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/328289/31416  This is a
problem with MiKTeX, which for some reasons is less informative when
you ask for more information.  The issue has been reported more than 4
years ago, but apparently no action has been taken so fare:
https://sourceforge.net/p/miktex/bugs/2310/  If you want it to be
fixed you should complain with MiKTeX developer.

For your information, you can use TeX Live also on Windows, and it
doesn't suffer from this issue.

> Does -file-line-error really improve so much AucTeX's search for error

Yes, we found that enabling file:line:error style greatly simplifies
parsing of the output, as we don't have to do the complicated exercise
of guessing which is the last open file.

`\textcolor' and similar macros use `TeX-arg-color' to insert the
color and indeed this function doesn't respect
`TeX-insert-macro-default-style', but this may be considered a feature
rather than a bug because the color specification in the mandatory
argument strongly depends on the model.  The style file was created by
Arash, maybe he can give us a comment about this.

I'm not sure this is correct.  Inserting a package name as class
option doesn't actually load the package.  I think I removed that
feature exactly because it could have wrongly loaded packages that
weren't meant to be so.

Most LaTeX classes are based on other classes (e.g., standard ones),
you may want to keep track of the options provided to the class
directly used and to the base one.

It's interesting the idea of having a "content" file that is shared by
different main documents.  I think that it's technically possible to
do what you're suggesting, but it would require some work and care.
The main problem I can see is: what to do when you issue C-c C-v in
the "content.tex"?  Both documents are opened?  E.g., Okular opens one
document at the time, that wouldn't work with this viewer.

You have to manually patch the file style/beamer.el in your AUCTeX
installation.  Replace the line

'("alert" 1)

with

'("alert" TeX-arg-beamer-overlay-spec 1)

Remember to byte-recompile the file with M-x byte-recompile-file RET RET.

How did you set the variable?  If you use the customize interface (M-x

[Info-AUCTeX] AUCTeX 13.1 released

[Mosè Giordano]

 'LaTeX-section-hook' had access or modified
 the previously undeclared variables 'title', 'name', 'level',
 'done-mark', and 'toc'.  These variables are now properly
 declared and have the 'LaTeX-' prefix, e.g.,
 'LaTeX-done-mark'.

   - The functions in 'ConTeXt-numbered-section-hook' and
 'ConTeXt-unnumbered-section-hook' had access or modified the
 previously undeclared variables 'title', 'name', 'level',
 'done-mark', and 'reference'.  These variables are now
 properly declared and have the 'ConTeXt-' prefix, e.g.,
 'ConTeXt-title'.

   - The functions in 'TeX-translate-location-hook' could access
 and modify the free variables 'file', 'line', 'error',
 'offset', 'context', and 'string'.  Those are now properly
 declared variables with the prefix 'TeX-translate-location-',
 e.g., 'TeX-translate-location-file'.

The constant 'LaTeX-dialect' has been renamed to 'TeX-dialect' and
moved from 'latex.el' to 'tex.el'.  'LaTeX-dialect' now is an
obsolete alias.

The style 'latexinfo.el' is removed from AUCTeX.  'latexinfo.el'
was meant to support latexinfo which in return was a LaTeX-2.09
extension of Texinfo, but didn't manage to replace Texinfo.

The style 'siunitx.el' is updated to support package version 3.
Key-value options provided by older package versions are removed,
deprecated macros and units are not supported anymore.

AUCTeX has preliminary support for LaTeX-hooks.  Hooks provided by
LaTeX kernel are known and available for completion in
'\AddToHook', '\RemoveFromHook' and '\AddToHookNext'.

AUCTeX is now able to place all generated output files, including
those that are produced by applications running under AUCTeX,
temporary files related to region processing and preview-latex
files, in an output directory.  To use this feature, set the new
user option 'TeX-output-dir' to the absolute path of the output
directory or a relative path which would be interpreted as being
relative to the master file in a multifile document.

Note that this feature doesn't work if the document includes sub
file placed in sub directory below the main file via '\include'
command.

Many other bugs were fixed.

Requirements


It is required that you use at least GNU Emacs 24.3.

The preview-latex subsystem requires image support.

You'll also need a working LaTeX installation and Ghostscript.
dvipng[2] (version 1.4 or later), a very fast DVI converter, can be
used to speed up the conversion.

Availability


The easiest way for getting AUCTeX is installing it with GNU ELPA, see
https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/auctex.html> for more information.
Other download options are available at
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/auctex/>.  At release time, we provide the
source tarball.  You can also use versions of Emacs that already
include AUCTeX or a software package management system for your
operating system which provides you with the latest release.

A separate directory for each release contains some stuff from the
tarball, such as ChangeLog, printable manuals, and a reference sheet.
The download area is mirrored to the directory support/auctex on CTAN.
AUCTeX is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 3.

You'll find more information at the web site of AUCTeX
https://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/>, including its mailing list

[Info-AUCTeX] AUCTeX 13.2 released

[Mosè Giordano]

me, we provide the
source tarball.  You can also use versions of Emacs that already
include AUCTeX or a software package management system for your
operating system which provides you with the latest release.

A separate directory for each release contains some stuff from the
tarball, such as ChangeLog, printable manuals, and a reference sheet.
The download area is mirrored to the directory support/auctex on CTAN.
AUCTeX is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 3.

You'll find more information at the web site of AUCTeX
https://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/>, including its mailing list
addresses.

Future development and additional information
-

AUCTeX is proceeding as a GNU project with the long-term intent of
merging it into Emacs.  For that reason, all new contributors need to
assign copyright to their contributions to the FSF (the usual
procedure for Emacs contributors).  The same holds for past
contributors.  The principal authors and maintainers have already done
so, but it would require a diligent and diplomatic volunteer to find
and ask the rest.

Current AUCTeX managers are Arash Esbati, Mosè Giordano, and Tassilo
Horn.  Everybody is welcome to contribute to the project by reporting
bugs and suggesting improvements, but the most effective way of
helping AUCTeX development remains volunteering for tasks.

The following people contributed to this release series (in
alphabetical order): Ivan Andrus, Ralf Angeli, Masayuki Ataka,

I believe you want to look at `TeX-electric-math'
(https://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/manual/auctex/Quotes.html#index-TeX_002delectric_002dmath):

--8<---cut here---start->8---
TeX-electric-math is a variable defined in ‘tex.el’.

Its value is ("\\(" . "\\)")
Original value was nil
Local in buffer foo.tex; global value is nil

If non-nil, when outside math mode ‘TeX-insert-dollar’ will
insert symbols for opening and closing inline equation and put
the point between them.  If there is an active region,
‘TeX-insert-dollar’ will put around it symbols for opening and
closing inline equation and keep the region active, with point
after closing symbol.  If you press ‘$’ again, you can toggle
between inline equation, display equation, and no equation.

If non-nil and point is inside math mode right between a couple
of single dollars, pressing ‘$’ will insert another pair of
dollar signs and leave the point between them.

If nil, ‘TeX-insert-dollar’ will simply insert "$" at point,
this is the default.

If non-nil, this variable is a cons cell whose CAR is the string
to insert before point, the CDR is the string to insert after
point.  You can choose between "$...$" and "\(...\)".

  Automatically becomes buffer-local when set.
  You can customize this variable.

Are you sure that `$' is bound to `TeX-insert-dollar'?  In a LaTeX
buffer, what does `C-h k $' give you?  I get

--8<---cut here---start->8---
$ runs the command TeX-insert-dollar (found in LaTeX-mode-map), which is an
interactive native-compiled Lisp function in ‘tex.el’.

It is bound to $.

(TeX-insert-dollar  ARG)

Insert dollar sign.

If current math mode was not entered with a dollar, refuse to
insert one when ‘TeX-refuse-unmatched-dollar’ is non-nil.

Show matching dollar sign if this dollar sign ends the TeX math
mode and ‘blink-matching-paren’ is non-nil.

When outside math mode, the behavior is controlled by the variable
‘TeX-electric-math’.

With raw C-u prefix, insert exactly one dollar sign.
With optional ARG, insert that many dollar signs.

--8<---cut here---end--->8---

Then it's not a surprise that `TeX-electric-math' is ignored.  I'm not
familiar with cdlatex, but that's apparently overtaking AUCTeX
keybindings.

AUCTeX 13.3 released

[Mosè Giordano]

Release notes for AUCTeX 13.3 with preview-latex


AUCTeX provides by far the most wide-spread and sophisticated
environment for editing LaTeX, TeX, ConTeXt and Texinfo documents with
Emacs.  Combined with packages like RefTeX, flyspell and others it is
pretty much without peer as a comprehensive authoring solution for a
large variety of operating system platforms and TeX distributions.  It
supports document-dependent completion and syntax highlighting, easily
accessible menus, jumping to error locations in the source file, a
number of editing shortcuts, intelligent indentation and filling of
text during entry, and WYSIWYG previews of graphical elements like
math formulas right in the Emacs source buffer, by virtue of its
preview-latex component.

One part of the preview-latex subsystem is the central `preview.sty'
file that is independently useful for a number of applications and is
available in unbundled form from CTAN.[1]

AUCTeX needs volunteers in particular for non-programming tasks:
documentation writing, tutorials, translations, reference material,
sleuth work, testing.

New features and fixed bugs in this release
---

AUCTeX now requires GNU Emacs 26.1 or higher.

LaTeX abbrevs are now available in docTeX mode buffers.

AUCTeX temporarily rebinds the variable ‘gc-cons-percentage’ to a
higher value during parsing which speeds up the process
significantly.  The memory pressure should still be acceptable,
even on older machines.

Macros provided by the ‘xparse’ package are part of LaTeX kernel
since October 2020.  AUCTeX tracks this change and the content of
‘xparse.el’ is moved into ‘latex.el’ and ‘font-latex.el’
respectively.

The variable ‘preview-scale-function’ is now allowed as a
file-local variable where the assigned value can only be between
0.1 and 10.

Requirements


It is required that you use at least GNU Emacs 26.1.

The preview-latex subsystem requires image support.

You'll also need a working LaTeX installation and Ghostscript.
dvipng[2] (version 1.4 or later), a very fast DVI converter, can be
used to speed up the conversion.

Availability


The easiest way for getting AUCTeX is installing it with GNU ELPA, see
https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/auctex.html> for more information.
Other download options are available at
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/auctex/>.  At release time, we provide the
source tarball.  You can also use versions of Emacs that already
include AUCTeX or a software package management system for your
operating system which provides you with the latest release.

A separate directory for each release contains some stuff from the

[AUCTeX-devel] Add counter type to the parser

[Mosè Giordano]

Hi all,

I'm sending a patch for `latex.el' to add the type counter to the
parser.  I've tested these changes with `article', `book', `memoir',
and `report' classes.  I've also fixed some functions and variables
related to pagestyle type.  Here is the ChangeLog entry:

2013-01-15  Mosè Giordano  giordano.m...@libero.it

* latex.el (LaTeX-auto-pagestyle-regexp-list): Fix typo.
(LaTeX-auto-counter-regexp-list): New variable.
(LaTeX-auto-regexp-list): Use `LaTeX-auto-counter-regexp-list'.
(counter): New type for the parser.
(TeX-arg-counter): Use `LaTeX-counter-list' function for
completing and `definition' argument.
(TeX-arg-pagestyle): Use `definition' argument.
(LaTeX-common-initialization): Initialize counters.

Bye,
Mosè Giordano

Re: [AUCTeX-devel] Completion for counters

[Mosè Giordano]

Hi Mads,

 The TODO file mentioned that it would be nice to have completion for
 counters.  Mose Giordano did this, but some style files have to have
 some counters appended.  I've attached patches for memoir.el,
 article.el, book.el and report.el
TeX-auto-generate'ing those classes automatically adds counters to
style files, this is why I didn't provide patches for these classes.

 Actually, it appears that latex.ltx
 defines the counters tocdepth and secnumdepth, too, so maybe these two
 should instead be in latex.el and not in the style files?
Those counters are defined in `latex.el' using a plain TeX syntax, but
I don't know TeX very much.  As far as I can see, in TeX counters are
defined with `\countdef', `\newcount' or defining a macro called
`\c@XXX'.  In `latex.ltx' there are many more counters defined in
these ways.

Knowing the correct TeX syntax, we could add to `tex.el' a regexp
matching TeX counters and TeX-auto-add counter type.  In this case
TeX-auto-add-type counter in `latex.el' wouldn't be needed anymore.

Mosè Giordano

Re: [AUCTeX-devel] Completion for saveboxes

[Mosè Giordano]

Hi Mads,

there are some errors in your patch.

 +;; `sbox' is just a short form of `savebox'
 +(defvar LaTeX-auto-savebox-regexp-list
 +  '((newsavebox *{\\([A-Za-z]+\\)} 1 LaTeX-auto-savebox))
 +  List of regular expressions matching LaTeX saveboxes and
 +sboxes only.)
This regexep wouldn't match any savebox because saveboxes are macros,
so their name starts with a backslash.  I suggest to use the following
regexp
-
(defvar LaTeX-auto-savebox-regexp-list
  '((newsavebox *{?\\([A-Za-z]+\\)}? 1 LaTeX-auto-savebox))
-


 +(TeX-auto-add-type savebox LaTeX)
You have to specify the plural of the type if it's not formed just
appending an s:
-
(TeX-auto-add-type savebox LaTeX saveboxes)
-
