I see the source of confusion. I must have misunderstood the documentation: http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/manual/auctex/Multifile.html I thought that if, first, I inserted the following code at the end of my parent-master file and, secondly, I pressed C-c _ while in my child file that Auctex would automatically find this master file without me typing its path. %%% Local Variables: %%% TeX-master: "master" %%% End: If I still must type the path to the master in each child, do you know if there is a practical difference between these two Tex file settings: %%% TeX-master: t %%% TeX-master: "master" If these settings are functionally the same, the following code from the documentation doesn't seem to be very useful (i.e., why bother with it): (setq-default TeX-master "master") ; All master files called "master" Why call parent files "master" in --%%% TeX-master: "master"-- if I need to specify the path in the child files? Am I missing something? -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Key-binding--in-Auctex-%28LaTex-mode%29-tp32315986p32318241.html Sent from the Emacs - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
