Hi everyone, Of late I'm noticing that colon ":" and underscore "_" are treated as part of words, as confirmed by looking at the syntax table. Just as a curiosity: is this a recent change, or is my memory simply failing me? In the archives I found a discussion about this around 2012.
I'd like to treat those characters as punctuation, so that if I have, say, "eq:blah" with point at the end, and I back-delete a word, I should be left with "eq:". In my hook for LaTeX I therefore added (modify-syntax-entry ?: "." LaTeX-mode-syntax-table) (modify-syntax-entry ?_ "." LaTeX-mode-syntax-table) but they don't seem to have any effect. Probably I'm doing something wrong but I can't find out what. Any tips? Kind regards, Luca
