Hi, the current installation instructions for RefTeX tell the user to put autoloads for some entry functions manually into the user's init file. I don't really like this because it is prone to fail when functions move, it clutters the init file, and it unnecessarily exposes the implementation of the package. So it generally is somewhat clunky.
IMO a better approach would be to generate during installation a file containing autoloads which the user then may load from the init file in a similar way we currently do this for AUCTeX and preview-latex and how install.el does it. The file could even be part of the distribution. In contrast to AUCTeX and preview-latex I'd like to install the autoloads file in the same location as the Lisp files of RefTeX. If RefTeX is installed into its own directory the file could be named autoloads.el for example. If RefTeX does not get its own directory we should probably pay a bit more attention and use something like reftex-autoloads.el (not sure about 8.3 file systems in both cases) or try to find a file where we could append the autoloads. Is there a convention regarding autoloads? Any other suggestions? -- Ralf _______________________________________________ auctex-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex-devel
