Question

So I've installed ELPA, and did the command M-x package-install RET auctex. I was prompted with the message that 133 files were compiled and one was skipped. But I cannot find auctex mode anywhere when trying to initialize it with M-x auctex-mode. Am I missing something?

Was it helpful?

Solution

AUCTeX is a package that includes multiple TeX and LaTeX modes, but does not define an explicit AUCTeX mode. To invoke a mode explicitly, use M-x TeX-<TAB> or M-x LaTeX-<TAB> to see the possibilities.

Assuming that the package is installed correctly, these tab-completions should resolve.

Various of the modes may be started automatically upon opening files with certain extensions, perhaps like myfile.tex or similar.
