Hi, Perhaps it's not really a "fault" of org (nor of auctex), but both things interact unfortunate.
The reason is: when I export org to LaTeX, and I visit the latex file afterwards, I want that auctex/emacs is instructed about some facts. Thus I like to have some lines such as %%% Local Variables: %%% mode: latex %%% TeX-master: t %%% End: at the end of the latex file. Org allows that, in that I add the "LATEX-only" export at the end of the org-file #+BEGIN_LATEX %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%% Local Variables: %%% mode: latex %%% TeX-master: t %%% End: #+END_LATEX Doing that produces the desired lines at the end of the generated latex, and if I visit the latex file, emacs/auctex is instructed according to my wishes. Now the problem: If I refresh the /org/ file, emacs/org thinks that actually the file is a latex file (due to the line "mode: latex") and switches from org-mode to latex-mode. It's a minor thing, obviously, but I just wonder if there's an easy workaround. Martin
