Good morning everybody.

I'm preparing a project with LaTeX and I need to include some pictures in
the text; so, I used the usual way:

\begin{figure}
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[height=0.25\textheight,width=0.8\textwidth]{$TESI/immagini/RPCstruttura.eps}
\caption[short one]{long one}
\label{fig:label}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

To siplify the compilation process in different places I defined an
environment variable, that is
   
    TESI

to make my work path-independent. This means that, to recall an image, I
can use $TESI as the absolute path.

The problem is that, even if LaTeX is able to recognise that variable
(somehow, I really don't know how and, since it works, I don't care about
it), Emacs looks like looking for an other $ simbol, I guess to close an
equation, and all the text following the image location has the same,
lightyellow, color.

What can I do?

Thanks a lot for your attention, best regards.
