Hello,

Thank you for AUCTeX.  I use it every day.

When I am inside a .tex file, in the preamble but after the \documentclass, and I do a control-C control-E followed by "filecontents" I get a message in the minibuffer to "Put filecontents before \documentclass".

That warning is based on incorrect documentation of the filecontents command; in fact that command can go anywhere in the preamble.

Regards,
Jim Hefferon

Which version of AUCTeX are you using?  This should have already been
fixed with commit

* cad437e (2013-01-29)  * latex.el (LaTeX-env-contents): Replaced
                        regular expression with

(http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=auctex.git;a=commitdiff;h=cad437eec728058261951f28cd779c2d4f2eb3b7)
which went into AUCTeX 11.88.

Bye,
Mosè

You're welcome!

That must be an old version of AUCTeX.  The current version, 11.88.8,
just warns when you use it after the \begin{document}, i.e., after the
preamble.

Well, and if you use the filecontents package which provides a similar
environment without even the preamble-restriction, AUCTeX won't issue
any warning at all.

So I'm closing this issue.

Bye,
Tassilo

Thank you both for the work that you do, and for your response to this.  

I am using the AUCTeX that comes with Ubuntu's long term release 14.04, namely AUCTeX 11.87-1.  So that explains how your update has not yet gotten to me.

Sorry for the noise.

Jim

Again, you're very much welcome!

You'll experience even more joy editing (La)TeX when using a more recent
version.  AFAIK, ubuntu ships emacs 24 so you can install the latest and
greatest auctex release with emacs' package manager simply by typing

  M-x package-list-packages RET

then find the auctex entry, mark it with `i', and then start the install
with `x'.  Updating works similar: `U' marks all upgradeable packages,
then `x' starts the upgrade.

I update this auctex package very frequently.  Basically, if some bug
gets fixed, I make a new release which is good for users.  And its also
good for us to have many users testing the almost-bleeding-edge code
before we initiate "old school" tarball releases.

Bye,
Tassilo
