Fine. We still have other deficiencies to deal with. I think it is a sensible design decision to collect style specific information in style files. We already have tex-style.el going against that, however. It might make sense to construct a scheme with which we can autoextract tex-style.el: the style files are in a .nosearch directory, and so we can even just use autoload cookies for everything that needs to go into tex-style.el. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ auctex-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex-devel
