Re: [AUCTeX] Getting macro completions in large, multi-file projects.

[Chase Dwelle]

Unfortunately this morning something seems to have reverted. I though something in my latex-settings.el file may be conflicting, so I commented out all but the lisp code given below and still was unable to get macro completions. I am specifically looking for the \includegraphics{} completion. 

I have set the main file to be TeX-master for all files that end up in main.tex via \input{}. 

The completion does work in main.tex, but not in any other files included in main.tex.

Is there a way I can track down what's happening?

Thanks,

-Chase

(load "auctex.el" nil t t)

(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.tex\\'" . LaTeX-mode) auto-mode-alist))

(setq LaTeX-includegraphics-read-file 'LaTeX-includegraphics-read-file-relative)

(setq TeX-source-correlate-method 'synctex)

(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'TeX-source-correlate-mode)

;; Make emacs aware of multi-file projects

(setq TeX-auto-save t)

(setq TeX-parse-self t)

(setq-default TeX-master nil)

Thanks for the very fast reply. It was either that my preamble.tex file did not have its master set, or that I set [TeX-Master: t] in main.tex. Either way, adding those two things solved my problem.

Did you specify the master file to each included file?  If not, visit
every included file and issue C-c _ (or M-x TeX-master-file-ask RET)
in order to set the master file.  In addition, you should add to your
init file the line

   (setq-default TeX-master nil)

This will make AUCTeX ask you for the master file every time you
create a new *TeX file.  This is also suggested in the very first
lines of the AUCTeX manual.

Bye,
