Re: [AUCTeX] Problem with German quotes

[Lucas Holland]

Hi Mosè,

thanks for your reply. The "my package.sty“ file is not in the same directory as my master file (I simplified the code when I posted it). I visited the "my package.sty“ and ran C-c C-n. It seems to work now (even when I quit and restart emacs). When I hit Shift-2 (quote on my system) twice I get the correct opening and closing quotes. Is the style file now permanently associated with my package file?

Thanks again!

Lucas

Hello all,

according to the manual (section 4.1) AucTeX will recognise statements like \usepackage[ngerman]{babel} and automatically insert the right quotes (i. e. "` and "’ ). This doesn’t work for me with the following setup:

I have a master document that uses a custom package (like so: \usepackage{mypackage}). In that package I include all the packages I use in my document among them \usepackage[ngerman]{babel}. I have

%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-master: t
%%% End:

at the end of my master file and

%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-master: "../masterfile"
%%% End:

in my custom package file (.sty file).

Is there a way I can make AuCTeX recognise that I’m using the babel package with the ngerman option so that it automatically uses the right quotes?

If the `\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}' line is in `mypackage.sty' file,
you need a style file associated to it.  If `mypackage.sty' is in the
same directory of `masterfile.tex', just visit `mypackage.sty' and
issue `C-c C-n'.

Bye,
Mosè
