Basically we have two different sets of modes here: one is selection of an engine, another is selection of features. The first of those is exclusive: only one (and exactly one if we count the hypothetical TeX-Knuth-mode) can be active at any time, one could select by radio buttons. The second set is in principle orthogonal: source-navigation can be on/off in either case, PDF output can (well, if we have PS output as a special option, we get a radio-like set again)... > But until we get configurable tool chains, this is probably still the > best way to go.

As a note aside: shouldn't we have an obsolete function alias for TeX-source-specials-mode? That will make it more obvious for people how to migrate, and it will let them keep working with one startup file for multiple configurations for a transitory period of time. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ auctex-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex-devel
