Subject: 11.89; Wrong DocTeX-mode
Date: Sun, 11 Sep 2016 17:15:07 +0200

In AucTeX, latex.el (line 5871) contains:

(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.dtx\\'" . doctex-mode))

However, AUCTeX's doctex mode is called docTeX-mode. So the line above causes the standard Emacs doctex-mode to be invoked, rather than AUCTeX's docTeX-mode. This is undesirable.

The line should be:

(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.dtx\\'" . docTeX-mode))

There is another thing. The documentation of docTeX-mode says:

"Major mode in AUCTeX for editing .dtx files derived from `LaTeX-mode'.
Runs `LaTeX-mode', sets a few variables and
runs the hooks in `docTeX-mode-hook'."

However, docTeX-mode-hook is never run.
