Hi,
electric pair mode automatically closes parentheses like (,[,{,... Can I
customize this such that when I edit a latex document it also closes
expressions like \left( with \right)?
Regards,
Laurent

Yup, see 'electric-pair-pairs'

Hi,
if I try to change this option (through the customize interface) by
adding \left( and \right) to the list, emacs complains with the
following message:
Saving electric-pair-pairs: This field should contain a single character.
Regards,
Laurent

Sorry for the disinfo, I didn't actually attempt to customize it, only
saw that it was customizable, and assumed that it would allow arbitrary,
as opposed to single-character-only pair definitions.
Perhaps you can get something working with skeleton-mode
(http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/SkeletonPair) ?

Hi,
after a bit of googling I actually found this:
http://inthearmchair.wordpress.com/2008/11/01/automatically-inserting-matching-parentheses-for-latex-in-emacs/
which does exactly what I want.
Regards,
Laurent
