Re: [AUCTeX] Problems with path?

[Markus Jantti]

Hi -- I did start writing the documentation but unfortunately ran out of
steam. Will attempt to honour my commitment as soon as possible. 

In the meanwhile, I have encountered the same problem (which, again, I
was going to report once I had enough time to do a proper investigation
into its nature).

The problem is that the new version of RefTeX does correctly treat noweb
files (in my case, so-called Sweave files). But for some reason, it does
not honour the AUCTeC variables 

%% Local Variables:
%% mode: latex
%% TeX-master: "thesismain" 
%% End:

My solution (in wait of being able to provide a proper bug report)
has been to explicitly set TeX-master, in this case to 

M-x set-variable TeX-master to "thesismain"

after which things such as file parsing and so on work as they should. 

Am running:

GNU Emacs 21.4.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of
2005-10-03 on trouble, modified by Debian

My AUCTeX and reftex related variables from .emacs are

;; auctex
(setq TeX-auto-save t)
(setq TeX-parse-self t)
(setq-default TeX-master nil)
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook #'LaTeX-install-toolbar)

;; reftex
;
(autoload 'reftex-mode     "reftex" "RefTeX Minor Mode" t)
(autoload 'turn-on-reftex  "reftex" "RefTeX Minor Mode" nil)
(autoload 'reftex-citation "reftex" "Do citation with RefTeX" t)
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'turn-on-reftex)   ; with AUCTeX LaTeX mode
(add-hook 'latex-mode-hook 'turn-on-reftex)   ; with Emacs latex mode
(setq reftex-enable-partial-scans t)
(setq reftex-save-parse-info t)
(setq reftex-use-multiple-selection-buffers t)
(setq reftex-plug-into-AUCTeX t)

; check documentation on bibtex and reftex

(autoload 'turn-on-bib-cite "bib-cite")
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'turn-on-bib-cite)
;;    (setq bib-novice nil)
;;  ---
;;  If you wish bib-cite to use reftex's reftex-view-crossref command to
;;  display and find \label's and \cite bibliography entries, set the
variable
;;  bib-cite-use-reftex-view-crossref to t:
;;
(setq bib-cite-use-reftex-view-crossref t)

;; for noweb and latex
(defun Rnw-mode ()
  (noweb-mode)
  (if (fboundp 'R-mode)
      (setq noweb-default-code-mode 'R-mode)))
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.Rnw\\'" . Rnw-mode))
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.Snw\\'" . Snw-mode))


;; new try for reftex alpha experiments, see e-mail from Carsten Dominik
;; 2006-02-13
(setq reftex-file-extensions  '(("tex" . (".Rnw" ".tex" ".ltx"))
                                                    ("bib" . (".bib"))))

(setq reftex-try-all-extensions t)
;; end 

(setq TeX-file-extensions 
      '("Rnw" "tex" "ltx" "sty" "cls" "ltx" "texi" "texinfo"))

;; this should be unnecessary
(setq reftex-label-alist '(AMSTeX))
