Hi list,
in AUCTeX there isn't an easy&flexible way to pass arbitrary options
to the TeX processor. The most wanted option probably is
`-shell-escape'. Another useful option can be `-fmt <format file>',
to select a format file, because in AUCTeX first line parsing is de
facto disabled.
Setting `{La,}TeX-command' locally (note that those variables aren't
safe by default as file-local variables) doesn't work with
`TeX-engine's different from `default', so this isn't flexible.
Another possibility is to add the options to `LaTeX-command-style' but
this isn't buffer-local by default, there is no corresponding variable
for plain TeX and it's definitely difficult to be remembered.
One could define a new engine in `TeX-engine-alist' combining an
existent engine with the relevant options, but defining a new engine
for all possible combinations of a TeX engine and options (think about
the `-fmt <format file>' option) isn't easy.
I'm sending a patch to address this problem. It simply adds a new
safe file-local variable (`TeX-command-extra-options') which is the
string of options to be passed to the TeX-processor through a new
expander in `TeX-expand-list'. In this way, eg, the shell escape can
be enabled with
%%% TeX-command-extra-options: "-shell-escape"
in the list of local variables, and a format file can be picked up with
%%% TeX-command-extra-options: "-fmt <format file>"
I tested the patch with plain TeX and LaTeX with default, luatex and
xelatex engines. It works also with `TeX-command-region'.
Any thoughts? Can I install the patch?
Bye,
Mosè
