Well, I have at least a good working knowledge of Lisp, and %t as a Lisp expression has quite the same meaning as !$^%& has (an undefined symbol). So from the view of the Lisp interpreter, Ralf is calling a spade a spade here. Maybe the doc string was misleading you, but most doc strings are intended to be interpreted by people with basic Lisp knowledge, so I am not sure whether we can, with reasonable effort, improve the situation so that others in the same situation as you won't make the same mistake. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ auctex mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex
