tex-region bug?

tex-region bug?

[Jay Gopalakrishnan]

In GNU emacs 21.2.1, the command M-x tex-region creates a temporary file
to tex the marked region, but in the temporary file the marked region is
written in between
"\begin{document}"   and
"\end\s-*{document}".
The last line should be "\end{document}". Is this a known bug?

Is there a quick fix? (E.g., can I edit something in system file
"tex-mode.elc" to fix this?)

Thanks
Jay

Nope.  It's a bug I probably introduced in Emacs-21.

Sure, just look for the string and remove the \s-*.
But maybe it'll corrupt the tex-mode.elc file, so you're better off
modifying the tex-mode.el file and re-byte-compiling it.

Thank you for the quick clarification.
Modifying the .elc file seems to work fine for me.
