1. Running Emacs 31 build from latest Git @HEAD 2. auctex "14.0.6" installed via package.el 3. I have package-initialize in my init and do not do anything else as recommended by the auctex docs to install.
When Emacs starts: 1. (featurep 'tex-site) ==t 2. tex-mode and latex-mode come from the built-in Emacs tex mode 3. tex.el from auctex is not yet loaded. 4. LaTeX docs start off in latex-mode (emacs builtin) -- not the Auctex LaTeX-mode 5. It's all very confusing. Auctex sanity gets restored if I explicitly call M-x LaTeX-mode after opening a LaTeX file. -- Thanks, --Raman(I Search, I Find, I Misplace, I Research) ♉ Id: kg:/m/0285kf1 🦮 LOC: https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n97059241.html
