I mean emacs mode only. Ideally, I'd like LaTeX in a pamphlet to be 
syntax-highlighted as LaTeX, spad code - as spad code (or as aldor, for 
which an emacs mode is available), Makefile parts - as Makefiles, lisp 
code - as lisp, etc. Even better if key bindings will be those of the lisp 
mode when the cursor is inside a lisp chunk, those of auctex when the 
cursor is in LaTeX, etc. All in a single pamphlet. Currently, this cannot 
be done :-(
