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

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
