To Thierry: I'll probably use you solution for the time being, but I would prefer not to add emacs specific lines in the files. I co-author them with colleagues using other editors (I know they are comment lines that do not cause problems for others, but it would be cleaner to avoid them). To Dmitry: directory variables seem to do exactly what I need. A drawback is that I need to change my "global local" ~/.emacs for each directory I add. The scenario I'm thinking about is checking out the .tex files from an svn repository and get the configuration I need with them (regardless of the computer I'm sitting at). In this scenario it is not easy to automatically change the ~/.emacs file, and even if I change it manually, it is not possible to include the changes in svn. In a perfect world, at least IMHO, emacs would read by default a local .emacs file, if existent, on opening any file. All the configurations would therefore be local to that directory. I'm not sure if this would slow down opening a file. Is there anything like that?
