But this was not what I meant :-)  I was talking about: I missed an
argument by accident as I hit RET too eagerly, now how can I fix it?

I see 2 possibilities:

  • Move the queries more into the style hooks and push them through
    `TeX-parse-arguments'
  • If one function asks for more arguments, use
    `LaTeX-check-insert-macro-default-style' which is more tedious

As an example, try this small file and do 'C-c C-e align* RET' after
changing the value of `TeX-insert-macro-default-style':

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[overload]{empheq}

\begin{document}

\begin{verbatim}
(setq TeX-insert-macro-default-style 'show-optional-args)
(setq TeX-insert-macro-default-style 'mandatory-args-only)
\end{verbatim}


\end{document}

%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-master: t
%%% End:

Best, Arash
