I've rearranged the TeXing options submenu accordingly. The "Use standard engine" option is not a real mode and does not have a user-visible command for toggling it. > I agree that the current proliferation seems awkward.

Hm, I've always assumed that `make-obsolete' and similar are only relevant for byte-compilation. Obviously they also have an effect for the doc string. I've added a `make-obsolete' call to the `defalias' call which was already in place. -- Ralf _______________________________________________ auctex-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex-devel
