[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello,

When using AUCTeX with Beamer, the default environment when running C-c
C-e is "slide". As far as I know, this environment doesn't exist, and
the correct one is "frame". Attached is a suggested corrective.

Best regards,

Agathe Herrou

Thanks for your contribution, however there is no "slide" environment
in our style file for beamer:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/auctex.git/tree/style/beamer.el
Where did get that style file?

Bye,
Mosè

The file I modified was slides.el:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/auctex.git/tree/style/slides.el.
Applying this modification then reinstalling AUCTeX from sources
produced the desired effect, i.e. making the default environment
prompted to be "frame" when editing a beamer file, so I assumed it was
the solution to the problem I was having. Maybe the problem comes from
the fact that slides.el shouldn't be used for beamer files?

Hi Mosè,

looking at the manual of beamer, page 222, there is actually a "slide"
environment:

    \begin{slide}[<options>]{<frame title>}
      <environment contents>
    \end{slide}
    ...
    Example: The following two texts have the same effect:
    \begin{slide}[trans=Glitter,toc=short]{A Title}
      Hi!
    \end{slide}
    and
    \subsection{short} % omitted, if framesassubsections is not specified
    \begin{frame}[fragile=singleslide]
      \transglitter
      \frametitle{A Title}
      Hi!
    \end{frame}

So we should add it instead of removing it :-)  Do you know if Thomas is
still active?  I have never used beamer so I would have to read to
manual first before touching the style.

Best, Arash

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

beamer.el shipped with AUCTeX doesn't provide a slide environment; and
I'm not sure why you load the slides.el when you're using beamer.  I
don't see an AUCTeX issue here, therefore I'm closing this report.

Best, Arash
