I have found a strange quoting behaviour in auctex 11.83 that I haven't
noticed in any previous auctex version. I suppose it is a bug.
In German, I prefer « (<<) as an opening and » (>>) as a closing
quotation mark. For that reason, I have put
'(TeX-quote-language-alist (quote (("german" "\253" "\273" nil))))
in the custom set variables in my .emacs init file. This had worked
fine for years.
After I updated to auctex 11.83, while the right quotes are still being
inserted when pressing ", font-lock doesn't work correctly anymore when
german is active. In the following example:
%------------------------------
\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage[german]{babel}
\begin{document}
One «quoted» word.
\end{document}
%------------------------------
everything from the closing quotation mark is displayed as quotation,
which is quite disturbing.
There is an easy workaround though. If I replace
\usepackage[german]{babel}
with
\usepackage[french, german]{babel}
everything works as expected.
I assume this is a bug rather easy to fix. My apologies if it isn't,
and many thanks for auctex anyway.
Best
