Hi,
I would like to ask if there are any serious reasons why AUCTeX passes
a file to TeX using the \input command, as in
pdflatex "\input{file.tex}"
and not simply with
pdflatex file.tex ?
I am asking the question because the "\input{file.tex}" phrase becomes
the first line that TeX receives which precludes it to react to the
parameters contained in the first line of the bare document, such as
this one:
%& --translate-file=cp1250pl.tcx
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
[...]
The %& comments belong to TeX standards these days; they were
introduced a few years ago. Given this I consider not passing
them to TeX engine a buggy behaviour of AUCTeX. Of course,
one can reconfigure TeX-command-list, still -- believe me --
unexperienced users need hours to discover why TeX, as they
know it, works differently when they call it under AUCTeX
and when they issue a "pdflatex file.tex" command.
Best Regards,
Rysiek
