Besides a customization option we could use the prefix argument as a "run-time toggle" for switching between both behaviors. Although I tend to think that `LaTeX-mark-section' is not important enough for such a lot of influential options. Anyway, that is not exactly the problem we were discussing. Rather it is if we should introduce a lot of new code in order to make the new behavior (i.e. marking a section including subsections) available on XEmacs. That's what I don't really like. What if we leave the standard behavior of `LaTeX-mark-section' as-is and make the new behavior (provided by `outline-mark-subtree') available via the prefix argument? That way the normal behavior is identical on Emacs and XEmacs but people with a moderately new outline.el would gain the possibility to mark a section including subsections. > Ob, by the way: redirecting to the proper list.

Oh, sorry. Either I didn't know that you had to moderate the messages or I forgot it. -- Ralf _______________________________________________ auctex mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex
