Unfortunately I cannot state that it won't be the case !

Would this still be possible? It should be !

Sure it is a different story but first of all a question of time ! Anyway I think I will have to do it if I want it to work on my site. Now I encounter problems with the TeX-style-hook-list variable. Imagine two files introduction.tex belonging to two different documents simultaneously open in an emacs session. Both will be referenced by "introduction" as entry in this list generating incredible confusions ! So I think I'll investigate this style system and try to improve it at least for my own needs. Anyway tell me which are the testing procedures to validate changes. Be sure that I'll keep in mind that backward compatibilty SOULD be insured ! One thing that I can absolutely not waranty is when work will be done !
