display reftex-toc automatically

display reftex-toc automatically

[Fabian Braennstroem]

Hi,

I would like to display the reftex-toc automatically when I open an
existing tex-file. It would be nice if the automatic start just works
for an 'article' (and similark class and not for any letter-class.
Do you have any idea?

Greetings, Fabian

Untested:


(add-hook 'reftex-mode-hook
	  (lambda ()
	    (let ((class (save-excursion
			   (goto-char (point-min))
			   (if (re-search-forward
				"\\documentclass.*?{\\([^}]+\\)}" nil t)
			       (match-string 1)))))
	      (if (member class '("article" "book" "report"))
		  (reftex-toc)))))

Thanks! Tested it now. Unfortunately it doesn't work.
I get:

  Loading /home/fab/HOME/HomePage/latex_dissertation.rel...done
  Loading reftex-parse...done
  Building *toc* buffer...
  Loading reftex-sel...done
  Building *toc* buffer...done.
  file-name-extension: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

when I open a tex-file which is an 'article'. For other classes than
book, report and article there is no problem. It seems that the search
for those classes works fine but opening up the toc makes problems.
Maybe, you have a second idea!?
