Others ⇒ emacs latex-mode

[lovec]

Hi dear LaTeX + emacs users.

I am a semi-noob on this and I have problems getting my emacs recognizing .tex as latex and even running latex-mode. Usually when you run latex-mode (M-x : latex-mode) emacs should switch to latex-mode, but nothing happens in my case. The menu bar still show the TeX options, highlighting remains the same etc.

I am running emacs 23.1.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.10.4), this is on a university system so I don't know much about it.

Any help is welcome.

If you always want .tex files to be highlighted in latex mode, add this line to your .emacs file (it should be in your home directory).

Code: Select all

(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.tex" . latex-mode) auto-mode-alist))
