speedbar + auctex (+ reftex?): show tables/figures/definitions

speedbar + auctex (+ reftex?): show tables/figures/definitions

[Kai Großjohann]

The speedbar shows the tree of sections/subsections.  This is quite
nice.  But it seems I might like to see more labels, such as
definitions, tables, and figures.

Is this possible?

(I have Emacs from CVS, AUCTeX 11.14, speedbar 0.14beta4, semantic
1.4.1.)

You do have RefTeX enabled?

Yes.  I can see the labels in the C-c = buffer, after hitting the
right key.  But labels in the speedbar frame would also be nice.

In semantic 0.14beta4, there is a file called `sb-texi.el', which builds a
tree of data for speedbar.  The existing tex display engine for
speedbar probably uses imenu, so you will see the same thing as in the
imenu menu.  In the simple case, you can update the imenu expressions.

For a more comprehensive TeX, or LaTeX display, you would need to
write something very much like sb-texi.el specific to TeX.  You would
then be able to add any small detail you would like and get a nice
hierarchical display.

I see.  Okay.

sb-texi.el doesn't do the labels thing, but I guess that could be
added.

What label thing?  I'm guessing that w/ Imenu it might say:

Chapters
  chap 1
  chap 2
Sections
  sect 1
  sect 2
  sect 1

so "Chapters" is a label?

Whereas w/ sb-texi style output, it instead says:

chap 1
  sect 1
  sect 2
chap 2
  sect 1

and the "Chap 1" labels can be jumped to.

Is that right?

"Label" as in "\label" :-)

/----
| \section{Foo Bar}
| \label{sec:foo-bar}
| 
| Bla bla.
| 
| \begin{definition}[Dummy title]
|   \label{def:dummy}
|   This is a dummy definition.
| \end{definition}
| 
| Bla bla.
\----

Speedbar will show the "Foo Bar" section title.  I'm interested in
seeing the labels sec:foo-bar and def:dummy, too.

Ah, righto then.  Your original assessment that it could be added is
correct.  It is a matter of parsing all the things you care about into
an ordered hierarchy as described by the variable 

speedbar-dynamic-tags-function-list

and your insert method probably wants to use 

speedbar-insert-generic-list

Though it doesn't seem too well documented.  I'll have to fix that.

I hadn't known this -- very cool. 

But should they really be in reverse order? 
e.g.:
document
  Conclusion
  Middle
  Introduction
document
article

If not, what am I doing wrong?

Probably not.  There is a bug in one of the methods of
`speedbar-tag-hierarchy-method'.  I think it's the 'prefix-group' one
that causes every other layer to be in reverse order.
