Coloring of citations (when using \citep, \citet, etc. as opposed to just using \cite) is not properly working. Details from the stackexchange post (http://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/27591/auctex-citation-color) are here: When inserting a reference in a LaTeX document (using Auctex) I normally type: |\cite{joebob_2010} | where "\cite" shows up in blue font, while "joebob_2010" shows up reddish/purple. I like this coloring. However, when I use |\citep{joebob_2010} | all text shows up white. In my .emacs file I put: |(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook (lambda () (font-lock-add-keywords nil '(("\\(\\\\citep\\)\\s-*{" 1 font-lock-keyword-face t))) (font-lock-add-keywords nil '(("\\(\\\\citet\\)\\s-*{" 1 font-lock-keyword-face t))) )) | This changed the color of "\citep" to blue, but the reference to "joebob_2010" remains white. Can I modify this to have the same coloring as "\cite{joebob_2010}"? -- Travis N.
