Bug reports for AUCTeX ()

TAB key does not let me insert a non-existing label

(sorry I can't use reftex-report-bug, it doesn't work ATM since I have
a problem in my mail setup)  I'm using a recent bzr pull of emacs
(emacs-version says  24.0.50.4) and standalone Reftex 4.34 under
Gnome/Ubuntu.  The Reftex manual leads me to believe that when looking
for a citation key I find I don't have, I can press TAB and type a new
one out which will then be inserted in the citation command I have
chosen.  The following:

C-c [ c somregex RET TAB mynewcitekey_2000 RET

should get me:

\cite{mynewcitekey_2000}

Instead all I get is "mynewcitekey_2000" echoed in the echo
area/minibuffer, and no cite key inserted.

The relevant manual section is here:

http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/reftex.html#Creating-Citations

Can anyone confirm this behaviour?

Other RefTeX functions seem to work as advertised.
I have my bibliography file defined in reftex-default-bibliography,
rather than in a \bibliography{} line.

A common workaround is to copy the text generated by `reftex-report-bug'
into a message to be sent through a configured mail client.

Hm, this is working fine here with a one-year-old development version of
Emacs 23.  Can you check if it works with Emacs 23 for you?

Re: TAB key does not let me insert a non-existing label

Ralf,

Thanks for the reply.  I tried it now on both Emacs 23 and 24, with
both my full setup and with emacs -Q, with identical results.  When
you tried it, did you test it by typing a citation key that is not in
your database?  It works fine if I only use keys in my database, but
not if I type one that isn't there.  (This is presumably designed for
the case where you want to cite something that isn't in your database
yet.  In my case I have to go through an external database [Zotero]
and export to BibTeX, which I don't want to stop and do when I
discover I need to cite something new.)

Here's what I did to test Emacs 23, (this time with the inbuilt RefTeX):

$ /usr/bin/emacs -Q

Then I evaluate:
(setq reftex-default-bibliography
      (quote
       ("/home/scot/lin/01_Thesis.bib")))

Then I do (in the scratch buffer, for example):

M-x reftex-citation RET try RET

(which gives me a list of items matching 'try'.  But I don't have the
entry I want in my list, so I do:)

TAB mykey2000 RET

Oohh, sorry I failed to get this piece of information from your original
message.  So I tried it with an existing entry.  My bad.

Okay, I can reproduce this now.  The flashing in the echo area you see
is actually an error which is thrown deliberately.  Carsten added the
piece of code which does this in 2005 to reftex-cite.el.  I'm not sure
why because after that statement there has still been some code which
deals with non-existent keys.  It just needed a bit of tweaking to work
again.  So I've now reinstated the functionality as advertised in the
manual and hope I did not break too much in course of that.  At least
for the cases I've tested it with, it worked.

Ralf,

That does it.  Thanks.

Oh, yeah.  They're waaay better than the old bugs.

2010-09-17; AUCTeX cannot compile ConTeXt file

When I am using C-c C-c context command to compile a context file, auctex shows output like this

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Running `ConTeXt' on `123' with ``texexec --once --texutil --engine=ConTeXt-engine --interface=en --nonstop 123.tex''
TeXExec | processing document '123.tex'
TeXExec | no ctx file found

TeXExec | tex format: cont-en
TeXExec | runtime: 0.034210686

ConTeXt finished at Fri Sep 17 22:13:42
------------------------------------------------------------------------
And it says it produce a output file with 0 pages. I think the option '--engine=ConTeXt-engine' is the problem. How can I remove it from contex command?

I think it is a bug because I does not change any settings in ConTeXt area in AUCTeX.

It should evaluate the value of variable. Hope it can be fixed soon.

Should be fixed in CVS, thanks for the report.

Besides, please don't send HTML messages to this mailing list.

Right.  I probably should have looked at this message earlier.  The fix
I've checked in is essentially the same. (c:
