default TeX-PDF-mode in Auctex

Since I'd like all my .tex and .ltx files to open in TeX-PDF mode, this is what
I have placed in my init file.

,----
| (add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook
| 	  '(lambda ()
| 	     (setq TeX-master 'dwim)
| 	     (TeX-PDF-mode-on)
| 	     ))
| (add-hook 'plain-tex-mode-hook
| 	  'latex-mode)
`----

When opening a new .tex file, I'm asked about the master file and here is the
text that is placed at the end of the file:

,----
| %%% Local Variables: 
| %%% mode: latex
| %%% TeX-master: t
| %%% End: 
`----

This seems ok because when I run `TeX-command-master' (C-c C-c), pdflatex is
automatically called.

However, when opening a new .ltx file (C-x C-f), I'm asked about the master file
but no local variable is ever put at the end of the file.

1. How can I have the local variable show (a) the right mode, as well as the

You want LaTeX mode even for plain TeX files?  That's a strange wish.

The code snippet above is not related to TeX-PDF mode.  It forces
AUCTeX into LaTeX mode even if a file was recognized as a plain TeX
file.

You also seem to have the impression that .ltx is the common extension
for LaTeX files.  It is not.  The extension .tex is commonly used for
them.  And AUCTeX opens these files per default in LaTeX mode if their
content does not indicate otherwise.  See `C-h v TeX-default-mode RET'.

Regarding TeX-PDF mode I already told you that this is a minor mode.
So you usually want your LaTeX files to be opened with LaTeX mode as
major mode and in addition TeX-PDF mode being activated.

Well, .ltx is not uncommon for LaTeX files:

$ locate '*/texlive/2005/*/*.ltx'|wc -l

I should probably define more clearly what I am referring to and that
is LaTeX files written by end users and not intended to be included in
TeX distributions. (c:

Can't get previews

I installed the precompiled version of preview-latex, successfully I think, after unsuccessfully trying to compile the separate components by myself. (Thanks for the precompiled version!)   I get the Preview and Command menus, but when I tried a preview in the file circ.tex, I get the message to use C-c C-l to see the compilation, then I get the message in another emacs window, but no preview!!?

 

Preview-DviPS finished at Mon Jan 09 13:51:57

Running `Preview-Ghostscript' with ``"GSWIN32C.EXE" "-dOutputFile=(circ.prv/tmp23688rt/pr1-%d.png)" "-q" "-dSAFER" "-dNOPAUSE" "-DNOPLATFONTS" "-dPrinted" "-dTextAlphaBits=4" "-dGraphicsAlphaBits=4" "-sDEVICE=png16m" "-r99.568x106.206"''

 

Does this suggest some kind of error??

 

I would like some help in this. Thanks.

Could you use
M-x preview-report-bug RET
or the respective menu entry Preview/Report Bug for reporting bugs?
That would give more relevant information.

Not at all.  It suggests things working fine, at least the extract
that you show here.  Conceivable problems might occur with running
GhostScript, but your extract is too short to figure that out.

Stupid question: have you actually paged down in circ.tex?  The
previews don't appear in a separate window, they are placed right into
the source buffer.

And the first 1.5 pages of circ.tex or so do not contain any
previewable material.

auctex not recognizing context

Hi everybody,

>From a fresh install of emacs+auctex on a Suse 10, I  can't get auctex
working for context files.

in my personal dir, there is a .emacs pointing towards a .gnu-emacs
containing this for auctex : 

;; AUC-TeX
;; ----------------------------
(if  (file-readable-p "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/tex-site.el")
 (progn
  (require 'tex-site)
  (setq-default TeX-master nil)
  ; Users private libaries 
; (setq TeX-macro-private '("~/lib/tex-lib/"))
; (setq TeX-style-private   "~/lib/site-lisp/auctex/style/")   ; AUC-TeX-Macros
; (setq TeX-auto-private    "~/lib/site-lisp/auctex/auto/")    ; Autom. Auc-TeX-Macros
  (if window-system
    (if (featurep 'font-lock)
      (progn
	(add-hook 'latex-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)
	(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)
	(add-hook 'after-init-hook '(lambda () (load "auctex/font-latex" nil t))))))
))

What can i do for activating context recognising (and by the way, setting
context as the default mode for new documents)*

TIA for any answer, and have a nice new year

That's no usable version information.  We don't keep track at what
SuSE uses for what releases of theirs, and Linux distributors often
have a track record of horribly outdated AUCTeX versions.

So please use
M-x TeX-submit-bug-report RET
for reporting problems.  That fills in the version information which
you omitted.

You can take a look at it with

C-h v AUC-TeX-version RET

I think you'll need at least AUCTeX 11.50 to have even basic ConTeXt
support.

View command with forward/inverse search

Hi,

As far as I understand the view-command launed by auctex depends on the parsed
file-information. So if using the pstricks-package in the document, the
view-command will be something like 'dvips file.dvi -o && gv file.ps'. Of course
this is not what I want for forward/inverse search in which case I want the
proper xdvi-command. The only way I know to get around this is either to:

-remove '\usepackage{pstricks}' (and all its uses) from the source-files, or
-remove regexp involving 'pstricks' from 'Tex-output-view-style'.

Neither of these solutions are optimal for me as I would like to retain
convenient access to 'normal' view mode. I was thinking that there perhaps was a
way of overriding 'Tex-output-view-style' when in tex-source-specials mode, but
I haven't been able to locate a setting for this.

Please correct me if I have overlooked something. My setup is Ubuntu 5.10 with:

-GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.8.6) of 2005-11-22 on
vernadsky, modified by Debian
-Auctex 11.55

Thanks for a very nice package and any answers.

regards Bjørn
