[AUCTeX] Spell in LaTeX

[Torben Knudsen]

I am trying to exclude more from the spell check in LaTeX using AucTex

In my .emacs I have found the following I have used without to much
understanding.

;; Ispell
;; The below is from http://sandvig.mariegaard.net/
(setq ispell-tex-skip-alists
(list
(append
(car ispell-tex-skip-alists) ;tell ispell to ignore:
'(("\\\\cite" ispell-tex-arg-end)
("\\\\citet" ispell-tex-arg-end) ; TK
("\\\\citep" ispell-tex-arg-end) ; TK
("\\\\nocite" ispell-tex-arg-end)
("\\\\includegraphics" ispell-tex-arg-end)
("\\\\bibliography" ispell-tex-arg-end)
("\\\\ref" ispell-tex-arg-end)
("\\\\notes" ispell-tex-arg-end) ;personal
("\\\\margnotes" ispell-tex-arg-end) ;personal
("\\\\label" ispell-tex-arg-end)))
(cadr ispell-tex-skip-alists)))

then my 
;; Ispell
;; The below is from http://sandvig.mariegaard.net/
(setq ispell-tex-skip-alists
(list
(append
(car ispell-tex-skip-alists) ;tell ispell to ignore:
'(("\\\\cite" ispell-tex-arg-end)
("\\\\citet" ispell-tex-arg-end) ; TK
("\\\\citep" ispell-tex-arg-end) ; TK
("\\\\nocite" ispell-tex-arg-end)
("\\\\includegraphics" ispell-tex-arg-end)
("\\\\bibliography" ispell-tex-arg-end)
("\\\\ref" ispell-tex-arg-end)
("\\\\notes" ispell-tex-arg-end) ;personal
("\\\\margnotes" ispell-tex-arg-end) ;personal
("\\\\label" ispell-tex-arg-end)))
(cadr ispell-tex-skip-alists)))

Then my ispell-tex-skip-alists looks like the below.  However for
example \cite is still spell checked.  What is wrong?

ispell-tex-skip-alists is a variable defined in `textmodes/ispell.el'.
Its value is shown below.

Documentation:
*Lists of regions to be skipped in TeX mode.
First list is used raw.
Second list has key placed inside \begin{}.

Delete or add any regions you want to be automatically selected
for skipping in latex mode.

Value:

  ("list" ispell-tex-arg-end 2)
  ("program" . "\\\\end[        \n]*{[  \n]*program[    \n]*}")
  ("verbatim\\*?" . "\\\\end[   \n]*{[  \n]*verbatim\\*?[       \n]*}")
  ("align\\*?" . "\\\\end[      \n]*{[  \n]*align\\*?[  \n]*}")
  ("gather\\*?" . "\\\\end[     \n]*{[  \n]*gather\\*?[         \n]*}")))
