Re: [AUCTeX] M-q, doesn't work in LaTeX mode.

Hello,

the problem is solved, it had nothing to do with AUCTeX, at least I think.
Ralf asking me for a minimal example displaying the claimed behavior of
"M-q" forced me to find something displaying the behavior and it was hard
to find with a new document.  I went back to the document where "M-q" was
not working, I first cheked that indeed it was not working when I was at
the end of the document, it was the case.  Then I went to the beginning of
the document, where "M-q" was working perfectly well, to my surprise, then
I kept going down until it quit working and evetually I found the problem,
I found it but I still don't understand why this made "M-q" quit working?
Here it is: somewhere in my preamble I have:

\newcommand{\btable}[3]{
\begin{table}[htbp]
\begin{center}
\hangcaption{#2\label{#3}
\begin{tabular}{#1}}

\newcommand{\etable}{
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}}

Then somewhere in my document I started a table environment NOT using
"\btable" but I ended the environnment using "\etable", as follows:

\begin{table}[htbp]
\begin{center}
  \hangcaption{Some caption.\label{Some label}}
\begin{tabular}{lrrr}
\hline\hline

some tabular entries
...
\etable

That did it?  Before this environment "M-q" works perfectly well but not
after.

Replacing the "\etable" with:

\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}

fixed it, don't know why though?

Thanks to Ralf for his support,
