Package: file Version: 4.17-5 Severity: normal Tags: patch LaTeX detection only works if the relevant line is the first of the file. This often isn't the case; many files start with comment blocks.
Fortunately this is easy to fix: just make the matches "regex" instead of "string". Additionally, there is currently no MIME type matching for (La)TeX files. There seems to be a MIME type used for this, text/x-tex, and while this is far from satisfactory, it's better than nothing (in my case I use it for rendering LaTeX into PDF or HTML on the fly in a web application). Hence, I propose the following magic.mime rules: # TeX documents, from Daniel Quinlan ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) 0 regex \\input text/x-tex 0 regex \\section text/x-tex 0 regex \\setlength text/x-tex 0 regex \\documentstyle text/x-tex 0 regex \\chapter text/x-tex 0 regex \\documentclass text/x-tex This is the same as the magic rules, but minus the last two entries, which are not for full document types. Incidentally, there is a typo in one of the magic rules: "LaTeX table of contents" has a double space which should be a single space. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages libmagic1 depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime libmagic1 recommends no packages.
