ignore sections between Template Toolkit delimiters [% %]

Hi,

I am writing a program in Template Toolkit that dynamically generates
LaTeX. I currently edit this .tt file using AUCTeX mode in emacs.

Is there a way I can get AUCTeX to ignore everything between the
Template Toolkit delimiters of [% and %] and not mark that up at all?

Because the delimiters end in %] currently AUCTeX treats the rest of the
line as comment and it can make it hard to read.

Thanks,

Jason

I know it is normal if I open more files with the same name.  However
I didn't.  Maybee it was spell, auctex or something else that opened
it.  My question is how to avoid this as I often find my self suddenly
spell checking in a copy finame.tex<2> when i started spell checking
in filename.tex.

I have never seen something like this except when more than one files
with the same name are open.

When you see this, have a look at the list of buffers (C-x C-b), do you
see something odd?

Best wishes,

I don't understand how to install Auctex

You don't really need cygwin to run emacs+AUCTeX etc. In fact there is
precompiled emacs¹ for windows that has AUCTeX in it already, I mean no
extra installation of AUCTeX is needed.

When you have all those external tools (MiKTeX ghostscript etc.)
installed, you need to make sure the executable is in your PATH.

For preview to work in Windows, you also need to set:

;; stick this in your .emacs file
(setq preview-gs-command "C:/Program Files/gs/gs8.63/bin/gswin32c.exe")

Now when you start Emacs, you need to open a .TeX file to see AUCTeX.

Emacs is more like an operating system than a simple editor like vi/vim.
AUCTeX is one of its TeX/LaTeX editting environment. Actually Emacs has
TeX/LaTeX editting support built-in.

Why? I don't have such a line on my .emacs file and everything works
fine. Besides, I see no reference to such a line at the AucTeX manual.

You could use this:
"
font-lock-keywords-only is a variable defined in `font-lock.el'.
Its value is nil [in my Emacs]

Documentation:
*Non-nil means Font Lock should not fontify comments or strings.
This is normally set via `font-lock-defaults'.
"

or even put that in a minor mode hook written specifically for .tt 
files. Of course then you wouldn't get any syntax highlighting in those 
files.

You only need this if you want to preview with ghostscript. The op 
should do M-x cd ~/ ret
Then Menu > File > Visit New File .emacs ret
Copy-paste this into buffer:

(load "auctex.el" nil t t)
(load "preview-latex.el" nil t t)

(setq TeX-auto-save t)
(setq TeX-parse-self t)
(setq-default TeX-master nil)
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'turn-on-reftex)
(setq reftex-plug-into-AUCTeX t)

C-x C-s

Exit Emacs
Re-start Emacs

Also since he is on msw he might want to make a shortcut to runemacs.exe 
--debug-init with "Start In" set to his most common edit directory.

diagrams.sty confuses AUCTeX

Hi!

I just have noticed that Paul Taylor's package diagrams.sty confuses
AUCTeX. A minimal example:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{diagrams}
\diagramstyle[height=2em]
\begin{document}
\begin{diagram}
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX &\rTo &XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX &\rTo &XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
\\
\dTo &&=&&\dTo
\\
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX &&\rTo && XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
\end{diagram}
\end{document}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Try to compile it (be sure to put the attached file diagrams.sty
somewhere TeX can find it). This should produce an error message, but
when you hit C-c `, you should get an empty *TeX Help* window and a
message in the minibuffer

Search failed: "^l\\."

However if you press C-c C-l and check the TeX output, you'll see that
the compilation was successful. My guess is that this happens because
diagrams.sty echoes its error messages (which are not TeX errors but
merely internal errors of the package itself) in lines starting with
bang (!). I usually use XY-pic, but my collaborators are more
comfortable with diagrams. Are there any chances that this peculiarity
will be fixed in future releases of AUCTeX?

Best,
Oleksandr

Auto-fill-mode totally dead in LaTeX mode

Dear AUCTeX Users,

Yesterday I was trying out some of the features of AUCTeX for a large
manuscript I am writing.  I turned on TeX-fold-mode and
outline-minor-mode and then auto-fill-mode would not work.  Even after I
removed the customizations, auto-fill-mode would not come on whether I
disabled it and re-enabled it manually or through LaTeX-mode-hook as
usual.  In all other major modes I have tested, auto-fill-mode works
just fine.  I have removed all of my customizations for LaTeX mode and
text-mode, and paragraphs will still not auto-fill.

It will work with `emacs -q' then loading AUCTeX  with (load "auctex.el"
nil t t), then turning on auto-fill-mode.

I have spent several hours removing customizations and trying to track
down the problem.

What are your suggestions?

Thanks,
Joel
