Frage

I use auctex to write linguistic texts with many examples using the exe-environment which looks like this:

\begin{exe}  
 \ex (some text, glossed examples, etc.)
\end{exe}

Now, i'd like to have LaTeX-insert-item, bound to M-RET, to automatically insert \ex instead of \item in this environment, as it does with the description-environment and others. Documentation tells me i can customize LaTeX-item-list in order to achieve this, but

  1. when i try customize-variable RET LaTeX-item-list i get a "no match" error
  2. the documentation of LaTeX-item-list states it is "A list of environments where items have a special syntax.

The cdr is the name of the function, used to insert this kind of items."
Now i read those lists have a syntax of the form (car . cdr), so my guess is that i should put in my .emacs-file something along the lines of

setq LaTeX-item-list (quote ("exe" . "function-to-insert-\ex-label")))

but my actual knowledge of elisp is rather thin so i'm really not sure if that's the right way. Could someone please help me out here?

War es hilfreich?

Lösung

You can put the following into your .emacs file:

(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook '(lambda ()
     (add-to-list 'LaTeX-item-list
          '("exe" lambda () (let (TeX-insert-braces) (TeX-insert-macro "ex"))))))

Very well prepared question.

Andere Tipps

I don't really know why you want to use \ex instead of \item. Anyway try using \renewcommand. In your case you will need this: \renewcommand{item}{ex} Hope this will work for you.
