I admit, that this looks quite pretty, but when saving one encounters a big problem if there is anywhere a \renewcommand appearing. To explain the problem, consider e.g. a setting \renewcommand {\AA} {\mathbb A}. When opening the file Emacs will replace *all* \AA in the file by a character that looks like an A with little o on its head (the standard latex meaning of \AA). When saving, this behaviour destroys entirely the intention of my renewcommand! This behaviour is so annoying that in the moment I prefer running emacs in a console mode even if I thereby loose some other nice functionality .. Question: is there a way to stop emacs from doing so? If possible please don't explain me that \renewcommand is stupid anyhow ... thank you very much! Pseudo
