Ok, so if I want to use this character '•' (a bullet mark) to trigger math
expression, what should I write in my .emacs file regarding the `cdlatex-math-
symbol-prefix' variable?
The bullet is not a *character* per se in emacs.
So you cannot do that.
The left quote (back tic) is used to trigger math symbol selection. You
cannot easily change that, but you can remap a key as you did for M-9 and
that will allow you to enter the selection menus. But you cannot use that
character (M-9) to change levels. You can customize
`cdlatex-math-symbol-prefix' to set a symbol for that purpose.
(Please help me out, I know nothing about how to write
elisp).
Elisp is not needed.
You need to use the customize interface. See
(info "(emacs) Customization Groups")
Briefly, type
M-x customize RET
Then type `cdlatex-math' in the search box and click `search'.
Then click on the mark left of Cdlatex Math Symbol Prefix, delete the '`'
and type in the character you want to traverse levels in the math symbo
menus. Then change the state. `Save for Future Sessions' will modify your
.emacs for you.
Since you mention this might be a bug with CDLaTeX, I'd like to add that
pressing TAB after '-' (dash) in an itemize environment doesn't put '\item'. I
believe it's an empty command.
It works fine for me. Be sure you have org-cdlatex-mode enabled and that
you really are in a suitable environment. If you see messages like
if: No open environment at point.
or
if: No item defined for abc environment.
in the *Messages* buffer, you have erred.
HTH,
