[AUCTeX] AUCTeX and preprocessors

[Wouter Swierstra]

Dear all,

I've been using Emacs and AUCTeX for a while now and I'm quite happy  
with the general set up.

Unfortunately, I regularly write documents that aren't LaTeX, but  
require a bit of preprocessing - i.e. a .lhs file which is converted  
to .tex by a command line program (lhs2TeX). Unfortunately, auctex  
and friends work fine when editing .tex files, but are less happy  
when working on files that have different extensions. For instance, C- 
c C-v to view a document typically complains that "document.lhs.dvi  
doesn't exist".

I'd be most grateful if people on this list have any suggestions how  
to customize auctex to my specific needs. Ideally, I'd like .lhs  
files to behave just like .tex with respect to issuing latex  
commands, viewing, source specials, and all that. A simple M-x latex- 
mode won't cut it.

Thanks in advance,

--Wouter
