Sorry, I don't understand what you mean, can you please elaborate?
Which mark-up mode are you referring to?  How does it relate to *.c
files?

By default, Emacs opens *.tex files in tex-mode (see auto-mode-alist).
This is a generic parent mode which tries to guess which specialised
submode to enable (see tex-guess-mode).  Evaluating the following, for
example, should place you in a latex-mode buffer:

  (find-file (make-temp-file "my-" nil ".tex"))

If tex-guess-mode guesses incorrectly, there are several other ways to
specify the desired major mode, e.g. via an auto-mode-alist entry,
file/directory variable, hook, or otherwise (including the obvious
M-x latex-mode RET).
