Disable automatic line breaks

Disable automatic line breaks

[Bettina Kraus]

Hello,

when I'm in TeX mode and write lines that have more than 70
or so characters, emacs automatically breaks the line. This
makes me crazy!! Does anyone know how to disable this?

Thank you,

Bettina

It's called `auto-fill-mode'. It's not on by default!

Find the hook* that turns it on and undo it--that is, look for
code that uses something like

    turn-on-auto-fill or (auto-fill-mode 1)

and remove it, or add a hook function that turns it off:

   (add-hook 'THE-HOOK* 'turn-off-auto-fill).


[*] The most relevant hooks are

    text-mode-hook                             (all text modes)
    {tex-mode,latex-mode,plain-tex-mode}-hook  (default Emacs [La]TeX mode)
    {TeX-mode,LaTeX-mode,plain-TeX-mode}-hook  (AUCTeX)

M-x auto-fill-mode RET

With Emacs 22, a right click on the "Fill" in the mode line should make
it possible to toggle fill-mode, too.

Why does it make you crazy? TeX does not get confused by spaces or  
line breaks. Anyway, another option is to use (file) local variables  
at the end:

%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: LaTeX
%%% fill-column: 99999
%%% coding: iso-8859-15
%%% End:


Invoking M-x describe-mode RET can deliver some clue(s).
