Syntax highlight

Syntax highlight

[Zero Void]

Just installed AucTex-10.0g. However, most part of syntax can not be
highlighted wonderfully. It says

,----
| Error during redisplay: (error No match 3 in highlight (3 font-lock-builtin-face))
| Error during redisplay: (error No match 3 in highlight (3 font-lock-function-name-face keep))
`----

I guess I needs to customize something, but don't know what. 

BTW, I am using emacs 21.2.1 on a redhat 8.0 if it helps. 

TIA

Maybe try 11.13.  It's in the alpha, or beta, or testing, subdir.

That works. Thanks a lot.

No.  It is in the stable dir on
<URL:http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/auctex>

AUC TeX development has stopped stalling.

Hear hear.  A large thanks to all those who've made AUC TeX & reftex the
superlative latex editing environment.

And preview-latex which I must mention with high praise in all
fairness as a major productivity enhancement for LaTeX, even though
I am the maintainer of AUC TeX.

But since preview-latex required AUC TeX, I feel not too bad about
admitting its usefulness.

You _have_ checked out <URL:http://preview-latex.sourceforge.net> yet,
I trust?

I have, but sadly these days I use pdflatex and xpdf.  But I think
preview-latex is a great idea.  I know you're working on getting
pdflatex support and I'll try and have a look to see if I can get a bit
more involved.  :-)

So what?  Most documents will still run through LaTeX nevertheless,
and if preview-latex finds that you have configured AUCTeX to run
pdflatex, current versions will just run latex for generating the
previews, nevertheless.

Two angles must be dealt with.  Angle 1 is that the Emacs part needs
to get away with batch operation.  If that is accomplished, other
converters can be dropped in as well.  Angle 2 is that all the
important information must be written out into PDF specials, which I
have no clue about.

An optional angle 3 would involve running GhostScript in damon mode
operation like we do it for PostScript: in that case, one would need
to know how, for example, GhostView can navigate freely through PDF
files.  This would probably be the most ambitious part, and it would
mostly obliterate the need for angle 1 as well (which we nevertheless
want to arrive at).
