bug#19589: 11.88; the `$' in environment variables triggers math mode syntax highlighting

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time. And my apologies if you get this message twice.)
I don't think this is a bug. AUCTeX doesn't handle the arguments of
\includgraphics or \bibliography as verbatim text, in contrast to
\verb|$HOME/path/to/graphic|. So AUCTeX provides the %$ trick at the
end of line as a solution for your use case.
Therefore I'm closing this report.
Best, Arash

I use it with the current Vanilla Emacs, and it works. I ran into trouble when I noticed that GNU Emacs on the Mac does not inherit environment variables when you start it from Finder. Both the locale for aspell and the env LuaTeX needs were missing. You may use setenv, but the preferred way on the Mac is to use exec-path-from-shell. Regards, Jürgen.
Re: environment variables?
Hi Tom,
Why not just embed these settings in a .bashrc file (or equivalent)?
### Settings that are defaults--can be updated below
# Set up the TeX environmentals
TEXINPUTS=.:${HOME}/tex/latex:
export TEXINPUTS
BIBINPUTS=.:${HOME}/litbase/bibtex:
export BIBINPUTS
BSTINPUTS=.:${HOME}/tex/bibtex:
export BSTINPUTS
Best,
Rob

You can use elisp function `setenv'. Put something like this in your init file (e.g. ~/.emacs.d/init.el): (setenv "TEXINPUTS" "/abc/def/xyz//:") Regards, Ikumi Keita #StandWithUkraine #StopWarInUkraine
environment variables?
Hello all: How can I set an environment variable necessary for my TeX installation to find my local class files? Is there a way within Auctex to do this? I'm using a Mac (MacOs 13.2), and if anyone is familiar with the best way to set environment variables for an Emacs started from the Finder where there is no environment to inherit I'd love to hear about that, too. /etc/rc.common does not appear to work for this. Thank you, -Tom
[AUCTeX] Reloading bibtex environment variables within emacs
Hello, I modified the BIBINPUTS variable so that bibtex can find my .bib files. So reloading the bash configuration (via 'source ~/.bashrc') I got bibtex working from the terminal. Now the question is, how can I make emacs to reload this variable as well so that I don't get an error when I run bibtex within the editor. Thanks in advance, Damian. ___ auctex mailing list auctex@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex
Re: [AUCTeX] Reloading bibtex environment variables within emacs
I think you need to let Emacs also have the same environment variables. For example, on *nix, you can start Emacs from the terminal window where you have the BIBINPUTS set. What platform are you using? 在 Sep 9, 2009，5:14 AM， Damian 写道： Hello, I modified the BIBINPUTS variable so that bibtex can find my .bib files.

You could google how to set global environment variables in Linux. 在 Sep 9, 2009，7:22 AM， Damian 写道： 2009/9/9 Wenguang Wang wenguang.w...@usask.ca: I think you need to let Emacs also have the same environment variables.

Launching emacs from a virtual terminal in X may be a solution, but a was looking for something more elegant. I launch emacs using gmrun or dmenu, so I don't know which configuration the bibtex process launched by emacs reads. 在 Sep 9, 2009，5:14 AM， Damian 写道： Hello, I modified the BIBINPUTS variable so that bibtex can find my .bib files.
