In fact, the problem disappears when I disable x-symbol (even if
auctex is loaded), so it's most likely some kind of interaction
between x-symbol and auctex. That's too bad, because x-symbol is no
longer maintained. OTOH, I only use x-symbol for encoding-decoding
accented letters and the like. In other words, when I edit a tex
buffer I can type á and get x-symbol to write \'a to file when I
save,
and viceversa (\'a in a tex file is displayed as á in its buffer if
x-
symbol is activated). Do you know any (modern) package that has that
capability and can be used with auctex? Alternatively, would it be
possible (or rather convenient:-) to somehow merge x-symbol (or at
least part of it) into auctex?
I have had enough documents altered/mangled using x-symbol that I am
pretty sure I don't like its principles of operation. One of the
reasons that preview-latex has been designed not to touch or alter the
buffer text in any manner is that I have seen what can happen when
things go wrong with x-symbol. x-symbol also is not restricted to
TeX.
Given the inputenc package, I actually see no point in read/write
conversion in that manner.
