From: Sebastian Drude <drude <at> xs4all.nl> To: bug-auctex <at> gnu.org Subject: 13.2.0; automatic style generation & loading unclear / does not work as expected Date: Thu, 18 May 2023 12:32:29 -0300
[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hello, friendly AucTeX help community,
I am not sure whether I did miss something or something is genuinely not
working as it should.
I am testing with a minimal (La)TeX-file, main.tex, with the following
local variables set at the bottom:
%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-master: t
%%% TeX-engine: xetex
%%% TeX-auto-save: t
%%% TeX-parse-self: t
%%% End:
When opening (‘finding’) the file, AucTeX does not produce the Style
files for this file; I have to do that manually with *TeX-normal-mode*
(C-c C-n). But that does only produce the /./auto/main.el/ style, not
any other style files loaded by main.
I am using the langscibook class and their skeleton, which uses
customization files starting with “local”, in particular:
\input{/localpackages/}
\input{/localcommands/}
\addbibresource{/localbibliography.bib/}
The AucTeX-style-files for these are not automatically generated (why?);
I have to do that with *TeX-auto-generate* on the directory. Then, the
style file for /localcommands.tex/ and /localbibliography.bib/ are
generated (I put them into the ./auto/-directory).
But there is no style file for localpackages.tex. For testing, it
contains only one command: \usepackage{/IL-format/}. Even when I run
*TeX-auto-generate* manually directly on the localpackages.tex file, no
style file seems to be generated. This appears really odd and
unexpected to me.
The style file for /IL-format.sty/ is in ~/.emacs.d/auctex/auto/, so it
should be accessible to AucTeX, but it is not loaded: its commands are
not available when editing main.tex.
Even when I manually add "IL-format" to the TeX-run-style-hooks in the
TeX-add-style-hook in ./auto/main.el and load the main.tex file again,
the commands are not available.
The expected behavior, from what I understand from the documentation
(but this is not really spelled out, or am I missing something? where
is that explained in detail?) would be that the main style file and the
dependent style files are generated automatically in ./auto when I open
and parse the file /main.tex/, at least when I parse it manually with
*TeX-normal-mode*.
Then I would expect a style file for the /localpackages.tex/ file to be
generated, at least when I manually generate all style files in my
current directory, and in particular when I run *TeX-auto-generate*
directly on that file.
And finally, I would AucTeX expect to load the existing style file for
my own macro package /IL-format.sty/ in /~/.emacs.d/auctex/auto//, in
particular when I put that file in the list of TeX-run-style-hooks in
the style file /./auto/main.el/ that is loaded when parsing /main.tex/.
I annex the relevant files, and the configuration below shows that my
paths should be configured correctly.
Where is the generation of style files and their loading described? I
found the information in the AucTeX manual (info) not very helpful for
answering these questions. But as I said, probably I am missing
something. Please point me to the documentation that I was not able to
find.
Thanks in advance for all help!
Sebastian
