I must add to the above the following observation. With the above code
in my .emacs file, if I open a XeLaTeX file and compile once using the
XeLaTeX option in the Command menu (i.e. using mouse) and then for the
subsequent compilations, C-c C-c does give me
Command: (default XeLaTeX)
in the minibuffer. Otherwise, if I just open a XeLaTeX file and press
C-c C-c all I get is
Command: (default LaTeX)
in the minibuffer.
This is not a desirable behaviour at all. I should be able to get
Command: (default XeLaTeX) the very first time I press C-c C-c if the
file I have is XeLaTeX file!
How can I correct this? Best regards,
Tariq
