Here's something that came up on the Emacs on OS X mailing list in
conjunction with an Aquamacs preview based on 23.1.
A user wanted to know how to turn off word wrapping just for latex.
Translated to GNU Emacs 23.1, this would be:
(add-hook 'latex-mode-hook
(defun turn-off-word-wrap () (setq word-wrap nil)))
As a normal setting, we also have:
(global-visual-line-mode 1)
Now, switching to LaTeX mode:
(latex-mode)
What should the value of word-wrap be?
I expected that the specific, local mode-hook setting would override
any global defaults defined by global-visual-line-mode. However, this
is not the case. word-wrap is t.
Two questions:
1. What is a good route for a user without intimate knowledge of Emacs
internals (specifically without knowing how global-visual-line-mode
does its job) to debug this?
2. I suspect that the define-globalized-minor-mode macro is at fault,
because the minor mode code is executed first (run-mode-hooks) before
the minor mode is configured. If this is true, can this be changed?
If not, how are users supposed to set something like word-wrap for a
major mode when the global mode is enabled?
