I understand that the tex-mode
command of Emacs is supposed to try to identify whether a file is TeX, LaTeX or some other TeX-variant when opening a .tex file, and switch automatically into the appropriate mode. But mine is not doing this despite my verifying that tex-default-mode
is set to latex-mode
. Regardless of what I have in my document.tex
file, Emacs loads tex-mode and the status line says "TeX" instead of "LaTeX". If I run latex-mode
, it goes into the right mode.
Is there anything I have to do in my .emacs
in order to have this recognize properly?
