Re: 2011-05-15; TeX-source-correlate-method synctex instead of source-specials

Yup.  My hope was that Xdvi would eventually gain support for SyncTeX.
It seems this hasn't happened yet.

This is not a workaround but the recommended way to control which
mechanism is used for I/O correlation.  The drawback obviously is that
this will also switch the mechanism for PDF output.

If you want to control the mechanism on a per file basis, you can set
`TeX-source-correlate-method-active' as a file variable like this:

%%% TeX-source-correlate-method-active: source-specials

_This_ I would call a workaround.

Thanks for that.

Normally, no quoting is necessary in this case (other than required by the shell
to make it a single argument).

Ok, got it. The discrepancy comes not from the version of the engine but from
the underlying distribution: Debian (even sid) still ships TeX Live 2009. The
(partially-working) autoquoting mechanism was introduced in the lualatex format
in TeX Live 2010.

This was not the intended use, so the lualatex format adds an extra pair of
quotes, which is obviously wrong.

I would have expected pdflatex to fail in the same way in this case, but it does

To whom may concern,

First of all thanks for providing RefTeX and AucTeX as great tools for
mathematical writing.
When I'm trying to let RefTeX work with \newtheorem in latex, I find
the following problem.

After setting the new environment for reftex in .emacs as follows, when I type
"C-c C-) h" the reftex cannot provide the label for theorem in latex
file. The same for "C-c C-) a".
But When type C-c C-) Space, all theorem and axiom labels are prompt for
choosing.

Other informations are also attached.

Thanks a lot and Best wishes!

Xiaojie

Operating system Ubuntu 10.04
RefTeX version  4.31

relating code from .emacs

(setq reftex-label-alist
        '(
	  ("axiom"   ?a "ax:"  "~\\ref{%s}" nil () -2)
          ("thm" ?h "thm:" "~\\ref{%s}" nil   () -3)
	  ;; above for theorem
	  ("definition" ?d "def:" "~\\ref{%s}" t ("definition" "def.") -3)

Thanks for all the informative explanations.  I've now added the
--jobname switch for luatex and lualatex with the quoting you recommend
above, i.e. --jobname=luatex\ test in the example we discussed.  I've
added it really only for the two LuaTeX binaries and not for other
engines' binaries since I want to keep the impact as small as possible.

Great. By the way, only(dvi)lualatex is impacted, not the luatex command. The
rationale is, LaTeX does \input\jobname.aux for every document so jobname
quoting is crucial here, but Plain does not, so we thought it would be better to
left it untouched.

Oh, okay.  I've backed out the change for luatex again, but left it
intact for lualatex.

11.86; "TeX-insert-macro usepackage" crashes when cannot access directory

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.

Be sure to consult the FAQ section in the manual before submitting
a bug report. In addition check if the bug is reproducable with an
up-to-date version of AUCTeX. So please upgrade to the version
available from http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/ if your
installation is older than the one available from the web site.

If the bug is triggered by a specific (La)TeX file, you should try
to produce a minimal sample file showing the problem and include it
in your report.

Your bug report will be posted to the AUCTeX bug reporting list.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear All,

The command \C-c\C-m usepackage crashes with the message

Searching for files...
Opening directory: permission denied, /maths/TeX/share/texmf-local/tex/latex/JCM

where
$ echo $TEXMFLOCAL
/maths/TeX/share/texmf-local:

I believe that a check should be made whether a directory is
accessible before attempting to search in it in order to avoid the
crash.
