you can find the answer in the documentation ( (info
"(auctex)Fontification of macros") or
https://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/manual/auctex.html#Fontification-of-macros):
Highlighting of macros can be customized by adapting keyword lists
which can be found in the customization group `font-latex-keywords'.
Thus, you have to issue M-x customize-group RET font-latex-keywords
RET and then add to the "Font Latex Match Reference Keywords" variable
the new entry with "citep" (without quotes) as "keyword" field and
"*[[{" (without quotes) as "format" field. If you want instead to
write some Elisp, you can put this
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(font-latex-add-keywords
'(("citep" "*[[{"))
'reference)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
inside the hook.
Out of curiosity, do you use natbib or jurabib packages? If you have
parsing enabled, you should automatically get fontification of citep
macro.
Bye,
