Package: emacs21
Version: 21.4a-3
Severity: minor
Hello,
when writing in latex-mode (no auctex)
and having a "verbatim" environment, like this:
\begin{verbatim}
$ ls -l
\end{verbatim}
latex-mode takes this as the beginning of math-mode and does wrong syntax
highlighting / indentation / ... for the rest of the file.
This problem exists for some years now, e.g. you find people posting about
this in newsgroups since 1999, but in the current Debian package, it's
still there :-(
There are workarounds like outsourcing the whole verbatim citation in a new
file and using \verbatiminput, but I always prefer to write small pieces
- like the one I cited above - in my text because they are part of it.
Regards,
Viktor.

Hello,
Thanks for your interest in improving Debian, and sorry that the bugs
were not fully resolved or closed in due time.
emacs21 packages have been removed from testing in 2009 [1], not
present even in the current stable. Consequently, these bugs are now
orphan (without maintainer assigned) so they probably will not be
attended/noticed further.
[1] http://packages.qa.debian.org/e/emacs21.html
The bugs deemed valid are going to be verified and reassigned, but the
current bugs that I'm closing now are very ancient (more than 10 years
sometimes) and marked as fixed-upstream years ago, with no recent
input, and are supposed to be fixed in emacs22 at the latest.
Please comment if you want think that some of the raised questions are
still pending and need to be addressed differently (e.g., reassigned
to other packages, etc.).
Cheers.
