Hi Tristan and Arash,
another possible simple solution is to copy and paste the "english.el" style
file from your
~/.emacs.d/elpa/auctex-11.90.2/style/
directory into the one with your own style files, defined in TeX-style-local,
which for me is
~/.emacs.d/auctex/.auctex-style/
and rename it there to "canadian.el". Of course you can also edit it to create
your own canadian style file. I did something similar for the "british.el"
style.
Is that correct, people?
By the way, I noticed that emacs's own lisp/language directory already contains
an "english.el". Does someone know if there's any path conflict with the auctex
one?
Cheers,
J
