[Tex/LaTex] Open included files in emacs+AUCTeX

auctexemacsinclude

When working with emacs+AUCTeX I would like to consider a project with one main.tex in which you have many include's. Is it possible somehow to open the included files from within the buffer where main.tex is loaded? Somehow make emacs understand that

\include{./path/to/foo}

in main.tex is a filename (with relative path) and open it either by clicking on it or hitting some keybinding when the courser is within the curly brackets?

A "bonus" question is probably the next step, that is to have some integrated "project manager" in emacs, where the included files are listed and one can browse the projects components. Does it sound reasonable? feasible? Any ideas?

I use find-file-at-point. It also works for #includes in C, sometimes imports in Python, URLs, etc.

(global-set-key (kbd "C-x f") 'find-file-at-point) ;; I hardly ever set the fill-column

Step 1: close Emacs completely and start it up again. This will fix the problem if it was caused by you inadvertently changing some setting/variable.

Step 2: if that didn't work:

comment out everything in your .emacs except for the line loading AUCTeX. In my case, the line is:

(load "auctex.el" nil t t)

The command

M-;

will comment-out everything in the active region. It will also uncomment everything in the region, if it is already commented, so you'll want to use that rather than manually adding a whole pile of ;;.

Following step 2, you should have an unmodified version of Emacs + AUCTeX, so you should have the correct behaviour back. This will confirm that the problem is something in your .emacs file conflicting with AUCTeX. If the problem persists, it may be a bug in AUCTeX, although that seems unlikely for such a commonly-used feature.

Step 3: Uncomment more of your .emacs, and restart. If the problem returns, it was caused by the now-uncommented code. If it doesn't, repeat the process until you find the code that triggers the problem.

Step 4: solve the problem yourself, or ask another question about the specific code that you discovered that caused the conflict.
