problem (bug?) with fill prefix in latex mode

problem (bug?) with fill prefix in latex mode

[Martin Rubey]

I have the following text in a latex mode buffer

      ++ maxMixedDegree(d) specifies the maximum q-degree of the
      ++ coefficient polynomials in a recurrence with polynomial
      ++ coefficients, in the case of mixed shifts.  Although slightly
      ++ inconsistent, maxMixedDegree(0) specifies that no mixed shifts
      ++ are allowed. This option is expressed in the form
      ++ \spad{maxMixedDegree == d}.


setting fill-prefix to "      ++ " and pressing M-q turns it into

      ++ maxMixedDegree(d) specifies the maximum q-degree of the ++
      coefficient polynomials in a recurrence with polynomial ++
      coefficients, in the case of mixed shifts.  Although slightly
      ++ inconsistent, maxMixedDegree(0) specifies that no mixed
      shifts ++ are allowed. This option is expressed in the form ++
      \spad{maxMixedDegree == d}.

Help for fixing that would be greatly appreciated!

I should add: the problem is very likely in LaTeX-fill-paragraph from
latex.el from auctex, therefore I CC...

The top lines of the ChangeLog in /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/auctex/ say

2007-01-12  Ralf Angeli  <angeli@caeruleus.net>

   * Version 11.84 released.

(No idea how to get the version otherwise)

I'm using emacs 22 there.

Dear Ralf,

thanks for your answer on the mailing list.  I meanwhile found a
different workaround, which consists simply in using
fill-region-as-paragraph.

It should admit that the real offender is mmm-mode, since it doesn't
switch properly between latex and code chunks.  But it seems that mmm is
not supported anymore, is it?

All the best,

Martin

jsut discovered multi-mode.el and noweb.el from

http://www.loveshack.ukfsn.org/emacs/

I'm going to try that for a while now...
