[Reftex] 2 patches to let users customize reftex-view-crossref for citations

Dear AUCTEX developers,

[mail already sent to the user mailing list]

I wrote two very simple patches to let users customize
reftex-view-crossref for citations. They replace the hard-coded regexp
string "\\`\\\\cite\\|cite\\*?\\'\\|bibentry" by a new customizable
variable reftex-view-crossref-cite-macros.

This patch is useful for me because I use macros such as \cauthor{XXX}
and \ccauthor{XXX} to display the names of the authors along with the
reference number.

reftex-vars.patch also contains a typo fix (word 'with' was written
twice consecutively).

Regards,

I've now checked another change into CVS but I cannot test if it gets
rid of the filling problem because I cannot reproduce the bug here.  It
would be interesting to know if it helps in your case.

Could you please send me a patch against 11.86?  That would ease testing
for me.

Thanks,

Thanks.  Although it didn't want to apply, I was able to merge the
changes manually.  So now, I'll use it in my day-to-day work and report
back if it helps with the filling issue.

But in the meantime, I've also paid heed to your advice to put all
lstlisting options on one line, which subjectively reduced the issue
quite a lot for me.

[PATCH] C-c C-c compiles either the buffer or the master depending on variable

Hi,

I attach a patch I've just written.

Use case:

C-c C-c is encoded in your brain to compile your document. When you
work on a big document (e.g., a thesis or book) you often want to
compile just the current buffer. However, your fingers always press
C-c C-c when you'd prefer them to type C-c C-b to compile the buffer
only (and C-c C-c is easier to type). This results in a long time to
compile the whole document when you'd prefer to have the result
immediately.

Solution:

Use C-c C-c to compile either the whole document or the current buffer
depending on a variable.

My patch contains:

- a new boolean variable TeX-master-compilation to store the choice
which defaults to t (= current behavior)
- a new function TeX-toggle-master-compilation to toggle this variable
- a new shortcut to call the function C-c C-t C-m (m = master)
- an adaptation of the TeX-command-master (C-c C-c) function to
compile either the document or the buffer depending on the variable

Backward compatibility:

It's better to send patches to the development list.

Anyway, sorry for the late reply.  I wanted to take the time to look
thoroughly into the patch and what it is supposed to achieve.

If this is done for citation macros, one could ask why it is not done
for the other options covered in `reftex-view-crossref'.

Does RefTeX know about these macros?  That means, have you added them to
`reftex-cite-format' or the like?  Because if RefTeX already knows the
macros, perhaps we could use this information to create the regexp above
without having to introduce a new variable.

Yeah, the verbatim support in AUCTeX works under the assumption that all
verbatim-like environments work like, well, the verbatim environment.
So AUCTeX is not able to cope with the optional argument of lstlisting,
especially if it spans multiple lines.

Ok, after working a more than a week with your patch applied, it seems
to work as expected.  I had one wrongly filled paragraph, but that
turned out to be caused by another listing with options spanning several
lines.  After putting them in one line, filling was correct again.

Thank a lot,
Tassilo

I didn't change these variables because I didn't know about them .
Do you prefer me to implement the same functionality using these
variables instead?
