[AUCTeX] Newbie questions regarding ConTeXt support.

[Aditya Mahajan]

Hi,

I am trying emacs + auctex for editing ConTeXt files for the first time, 
so I may be wrong in my terminology. I have a few questions:

1. If I open a context file which says

\section {A section title}

then emacs makes the font for the title bigger and colored. However, 
ConTeXt has another way for entering sections

\section A section title

That is, the section title is until a \par is encountered (or an implicit 
\par in the form of an empty line). Currently, emacs does not highlight 
this.

Is this a bug with auctex, or should I report to some other place?

2. I noticed that in inline math (things between $...$), if I have X_t, 
then the 't' is displayed in the subscript. I like this feature. However, 
the same does not happen in display math (things between \startformula ... 
\stopformula). Is there a configuration option for this?

3. How do I enable reftex with ConTeXt? I could not find the instructions 
in the reftex manual. (I installed emacs+auctex in ubuntu using apt-get).

4. What I really like about auctex is the functionality of preview-latex. 
What is needed to support preview-latex for ConTeXt?

The last one is pertaining to emacs rather than auctex, but I am sure 
that people here will be able to help.

5. I mainly use vim for editing tex files, prefer to input math as utf-8 
characters (vim does not have anything equivalent to preview-latex, so 
this forms a poor man's preview). However, when I open any file with utf-8 
math in emacs, I get an sqare box. How can I get emacs to display utf-8 
characters correctly.

Thanks,
Aditya
