Not a good idea, since minor modes are either on or off (and indicated in the mode line). One should rather have a way to configure PDF mode. > 2.

It makes sense, but we currently don't have a good frame work where this would fit into without pains. Already the solution for compile/view of code including PostScript is quite ugly, and hells on wheels to configure. We need to come up with something better eventually, and I doubt that fitting dvipdfm into the already strained frame work before we do is a good idea. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ auctex mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex
