formatting of latex documents

formatting of latex documents

Hi,

I use emacs and auctex/reftex/cdlatex to create my source latex files.
Recently the formatting changed of my documents.

1. I have some macros for inserting specific environments, such as

;; add support for paralist and define the shortcuts for them
(setq cdlatex-env-alist
      '(("asparaenum" "\\begin{asparaenum}\n\\item 
?\n\\end{asparaenum}\n" nil)
        ("inparaenum" "\\begin{inparaenum}[(a)]\n\\item 
?\n\\end{inparaenum}\n" nil)
        ("compactenum" "\\begin{compactenum}\n\\item 
?\n\\end{compactenum}\n" nil)
        ("asparaitem" "\\begin{asparaitem}\n\\item 
?\n\\end{asparaitem}\n" nil)
        ("inparaitem" "\\begin{inparaitem}\n\\item 
?\n\\end{inparaitem}\n" nil)
        ("compactitem" "\\begin{compactitem}\n\\item 
?\n\\end{compactitem}\n" nil)
        ("compactdesc" "\\begin{compactdesc}\n\\item 
\[?\]\n\\end{compactdesc}\n" nil)
        ("am" "\%\% begin AM\n?\n\%\% end AM\n" nil)
        ("frame" "\\begin{frame}\n  \\frametitle{?}\n\\end{frame}\n" nil)
        ("taal" "\\taal{?}{}" nil)
))

If I type eg.

fra<tab>; then the frame stuff is inserted. Previously it was formatted 
as below

\begin{frame}  
\frametitle{}
\end{frame}

Recently it changed to the following format:

\begin{frame}   \frametitle{} \end{frame}

What could be the cause of this.

2. The paragraph formatting also changed but only when I edit in the 
paragraph. Normal formatting was as follows

\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{Geodetic Positioning Techniques}

  \begin{itemize}
  \item \cbl{Global Navigation Satellite Systems} (GNSS)
    \begin{itemize}
    \item proliferation os systems ans signals will take us into the 
next decade
      with a lot to choose from ...

where the size of each indent is 2 spaces.
Now when I edit the last \item, the formatting changes to

    \item proliferation os systems ans signals will take us into the 
next decade
with a lot to choose from ...

which I find very annoying since you loose overview of the levels.

Any help is much appreciated
Tx/Alain
