In the log you sent I saw that you seem to be running a preview-latex
command other than `preview-document'.  (Something I failed to notice in
the original log you sent.)  Commands like `preview-at-point' or
`preview-buffer' generate previews by running LaTeX on a LaTeX file
which is just a part of the whole file.  However, preview-latex does not
run BibTeX on this file, so the necessary data to resolve the reference
is missing.  That's why you see a question mark in the preview.

You can work around this by running `preview-document' instead one of
the preview commands which only operate on a part of the document (and
make sure that BibTeX was run before) or by running BibTeX manually on

RefTeX: citing process

Hi there!

Some time ago I asked on this list if it is possible to insert 
`footcites' provided by biblatex via RefTeX.

I just discovered a nifty feature in RefTeX which I missed back then: 
when citing a reference, you can mark several entries in the bib-file 
and by pressing `A' RefTeX inserts several citing commands, each citing 
one of the selected entries.

Now it shouldn't be too difficult to make RefTeX not to insert several 
citing commands but to insert `\footcites' and to append the marked 
entries in braces, e.g.

\footcites[foo]{first-marked-entry}[bar]{second-marked-entry}

(Right now it's \footcite[foo]{first-marked-entry} 
\footcite[bar]{second-marked-entry} )

Ah, and I wonder if it is possible to avoid the standard-regexp when 
citing with RefTeX:

After having cited some reference, say with bibtex-key `foo', I want to 
cite some other references, but I don't remember the exact bibtex-keys. 
Now, when citing with `C-c [' the default regexp corresponds to the last 
cited reference `foo'. When I press RET I can just select `foo'. Now I 
have to visit my bib file, look for the appropriate key `bar1' and 
insert the beginning of that key in the regexp (after having started the 
citing process again).

font-latex-built-in-keyword-classes - minor errors and omissions

Hi,

I believe there are a few minor errors in
font-latex-built-in-keyword-classes (font-latex.el). I use version
11.85, but I've just checked 11.86, and it seems to contain the same
definitions.

Errors:

("documentclass" "[{")
("usepackage" "[{")

These both take an optional trailing argument.

("renewenvironment" "*{[{{")

Should be the same as newenvironment, i.e., two optional arguments.

("sbox" "{")

\sbox "officially" takes two arguments, but it may be on purpose that
only the first is fontified as such.

("newcounter" "{[") is in the "function" section, but probably belongs
logically to the "variable" section (where setcounter and addtocounter
already live).

"include" is listed under "warning" and under "reference" (in the
latter as taking "{"); while "input" and "includeonly" are
"function"s, both taking a mandatory argument. Is there a reason

AFAICS you can only choose between \cite{a}\cite{b} (inserted with `A')
and \cite{a,b} (inserted with `a').  The syntax you want does not seem
to be very common.

That would defeat the purpose of the regexp proposal.  Or do you want to

Bug with fold mode (tries to fold recursively)

Hello,

 

I just discovered emacs  24.0.50.1 with AUCTeX 11.86 locking up as I tried to fold code.

It happens if I try to fold code to an expression containing a reference to a parameter (“{1}”), if this parameter includes the same string as one that is not going to be folded.

 

Minimal example:

 

Add “br” to fold as “({1})” in math mode

 

Try to fold

$\br{x_{1}}$

 

AUCTeX then holds emacs (in an infinite loop?)

 

Backtrace is

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (quit)

  byte-code( -- omitted here, but attached -- )

  TeX-fold-expand-spec("({1})" 20 30)

  TeX-fold-hide-item(#<overlay from 20 to 30 in test.txt.tex>)

  TeX-fold-region-macro-or-env(1 91 math)

  TeX-fold-region(1 91)

  TeX-fold-buffer()

  call-interactively(TeX-fold-buffer nil nil)

 

 

If I change $\br{x_{1}}$ to $\br{x_{1 }}$, there is no error.

 

 

 

Sincerely,

Dominic

Hm, it's the biblatex-way of citing several references in a single 
footnote. This way of citing is quite common in the humanities and 
biblatex provides very good support for these purposes. I just meant, 
that it shouldn't be too difficult to support this syntax...

Ah, cool I didn't realize that - Thanks.

Feature request: Auto-compiling every ten seconds

Quite often I'm just writing text, left hand emacs, right hand the pdf-viewer 
showing my page. 

To compile I'm typing C-C C-S C-C C-C (1. save 2. compile). What about an 
auto-compilation-modus, which saves and compiles every ten or 15 seconds? "M-x 
autocompile 15" => every 15 seconds.  

Nowadays most Computers are so fast, it would not disturb whatever running in 
the background. Maybe the module to do that could even stop if the last run 
terminated with an error. 

Just an idea.
