Oh thanks, didn't know that. But it does work, regardless of the wrong spelling. It's also possible to overwrite it on a per file basis with local variables. I'm not sure on what you mean by _toggle_, I can open the same file twice or another TeX-file, it's still in TeX-PDF-mode. But changing a variable is more convenient than this little workaround. Thanks for that. with kind regards Hannes Rist _______________________________________________ auctex mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex
