Please report such missing docstrings with M-x report-emacs-bug.

In my .emacs I have:
(setq-default fill-column 75)
followed by:
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)

When I evaluated
(add-hook 'latex-mode-hook (lambda () (setq fill-column 100)))
in the scratch buffer then created a temporary buffer and switched to
latex mode I had no problems the fill column was set to 100.
You may be right about latex mode running text mode hooks.  If that is
the case then I would recommend setting the default fill-column to the
value you want for text-mode and adding hooks for the modes that you
want to have a different value.

Good luck

I've tried it but I also have=20
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)
in ~/.emacs, and the value of fill-column inherited from text-mode is=20
overriding the value I'm trying to set for latex-mode. (I think that=20
latex-mode is running its own hooks _then_ the text-mode hooks.) I'd
really=20
like to set them differently.
