I've uploaded a precompiled package of AUCTeX 11.86 for Emacs 23.2 on
Windows to the FTP server.  However, this is not tested yet.  I'll do
that during the upcoming week and update the web page if everything is
okay.  Of course, you can already check it out before that happens if
you want.

problem with non-white background in Emacs

Hi,
   I use auctex with xelatex which can only output pdf,I have
problem because I  use a non-white (black) background in Emacs
The color of the text is also black in the images created
I have tried  changing the color of the preview background
but it has no effect.

this is my settings:
 (setq preview-transparent-border 2.5)
 (setq preview-transparent-color  '(highlight :foreground))

for example  the output of $ \lnot \forall xP(x)  \exists x \lnot P(x) $
is as the image in the attachment.

Correlate I / O.

Hello,

I am running:
Emacs  : GNU Emacs 22.3.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, X toolkit)
 of 2009-07-06 on actul01.dgdom.net
Package: 11.86

ever since I upgraded AucTeX to 11.86 I can't perform reverse search
anymore?  I set "correlate source" either through the correlate I / O tab
of the "TeXing options" Submenu of the "Command" menu or through
"C-cC-tCs", I then recompile.  Both ways yield the same result, xdvi starts
and pops up a small window with the message:

"No source specials in this .dvi file - couldn't perform reverse search".

Previous versions of AucTeX behaved as expected, what is happening here?

Thanks,

What's the output of `C-h v TeX-source-correlate-method-active <RET>'?
If it is `synctex' you might want to set `TeX-source-correlate-method'
to reflect your preference for source specials.

Is that after you enabled TeX Source Correlate mode?

Try `M-x customize-variable <RET> TeX-source-correlate-method <RET>'.
Besides letting you set the variable this provides you with a
description of the variable and its options.

I can reproduce this by starting Emacs with

$ emacs -bg gray12 -fg gray66 file.tex

and a file like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
foo $1+1=2$ bar
\end{document}

Installing on Mac OS X 10.5 with self-contained Emacs 23.2

I've installed Emacs 23.2 as a self-contained application (i.e., using
--with-ns during configuration). So nothing weird. Now I'm having
difficulty finding the right configure options for AUCTeX 11.86 . I
tried "./configure
--with-emacs=/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs" and got

checking where lisp files go... configure: error: Cannot locate lisp
directory,
use  --with-lispdir, --datadir, or possibly --prefix to rectify this

Why can't configure determine automatically where to put the lisp files,
info documentation, etc?

Probably because none of the active AUCTeX developers owns a Mac.  But I
think even when installing for Emacs under Windows configure does not
find all directories by itself.  In the top-level Makefile of AUCTeX
there is a target for the precompiled AUCTeX package for Windows and the
configure call looks like this:

./configure --prefix=$(WBUILDDIR)/emacs-$(WEMACSVER) \
  --without-texmf-dir --with-emacs=$(WEMACS) \
  --with-lispdir=$(WBUILDDIR)/emacs-$(WEMACSVER)/site-lisp \
  --datarootdir=$(WBUILDDIR)/emacs-$(WEMACSVER) \

Something along those lines might work for you as well if you exchange
the variables with proper values for your system.

preview-latex, tightpage and transparent background

Hey!

I'm doing an open source LaTeX to flash converter.

I have used preview-latex package to produce cropped equations. Here is 
the example .tex file.
------------------------------------------------
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{amssymb,amsmath}

\usepackage[active, tightpage]{preview}

\begin{document}

\begin{preview}

$\sum$

\end{preview}

\end{document}
-------------------------------------------------

I convert this to pdf using pdftex. Pdf contains only the cropped 
equation. I convert this to swf (Flash format) using pdf2swf (SWFTools), 
but I notice that it has a white solid background. I would need the 
background of the pdf to be transparent. Is this possible?

Best regards,

natbib and syntax hightlighting
