For example in case of LaTeX files in connection with AUCTeX. AUCTeX allows you to switch between DVI and PDF output by means of a minor mode. Now if your user preference is to have PDF output you'd activate the PDF minor mode globally for all LaTeX files. But there may be files which cannot be compiled with PDFLaTeX in PDF mode. For these files you have to disable the PDF minor mode somehow. I can imagine that there may be other examples with minor modes like Auto Fill mode where you normally have it enabled when editing a file in Text mode, but where you occasionally have to deal with files in Text mode where Auto Fill mode should be turned off because long lines have to stay intact. I don't have a concrete example here, though. -- Ralf _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
