Hi Jim,
I asked her:
“Can you write emacs lisp AUCTeX. if so give me a short example.”
She gave a reply, though I don't know what it means:
Yes, I can write Emacs Lisp for AUCTeX. Here’s a short, practical example.
This snippet adds a custom LaTeX command (\R) and enables a small setup hook
specifically for AUCTeX’s LaTeX mode.
;; Ensure AUCTeX is loaded
(require 'tex)
(require 'latex)
(defun my-auctex-setup ()
"Custom AUCTeX configuration."
;; Add a new LaTeX macro \R -> \mathbb{R}
(TeX-add-symbols
'("R" "\\mathbb{R}"))
;; Enable automatic parsing and saving
(setq TeX-auto-save t)
(setq TeX-parse-self t)
;; Enable PDF mode by default
(setq TeX-PDF-mode t))
;; Attach to LaTeX mode (AUCTeX)
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook #'my-auctex-setup)
