Subject: 13.1.4; cases* environment doesn't let me use $
Date: Tue, 6 Sep 2022 06:11:15 -0500

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

In a cases* environment (from mathtools package), I try to enter math
mode in the "text column", but auctex doesn't let me enter a $.

So I have

\begin{equation}
  \label{eq:240}
  Tx=
  \begin{dcases*}
    1& if
  \end{dcases*}
\end{equation}

and after "if" a I try to enter a formula, but auctex says in the
minibuffer

"Math mode started with ‘equation’ cannot be closed with dollar"

I should be able to enter a $ in text mode.

Thanks.

Thanks for the report.  Can you please add the next 2 lines in your .tex
file and eval them, i.e., hit 'C-x C-e' after ')' and see if it then
works as expected?

    (add-to-list 'texmathp-tex-commands '("dcases*" env-off) t)
    (texmathp-compile)

I think this a corner case where half of a environment is math and the
other half text.  AUCTeX thinks that the entire environment is math and
hence throws an error.  I don't have a strong opinion about this, we can
add some entries like this to `texmathp-tex-commands-default':

    ("cases*"   env-off)
    ("dcases*"  env-off)
    ("rcases*"  env-off) 
    ("drcases*" env-off)

What do others think?

Best, Arash

Ah, it's the same as https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/578900/auctex-math-mode-started-with-cannot-be-closed-with-dollar-in-cases
...
As written there, temporal workaround is to type C-u $ or C-q $ to
insert "$" in such a case.

In my opinion, `TeX-insert-dollar' is too patriarchal in this case. The
intention of `texmathp' is apparently to be "practical enough", not
"precise". It sometimes by design gives false positives and false
negatives, which we should anticipate.

How about to allow insertion of "$" (or anything according to
`TeX-electric-math') when `last-command' is `TeX-insert-dollar' in a
case like this issue? I suppose that most users would type "$" again
before seeing "Math mode started with `...' cannot be closed with
dollar" when "$" is refused unexpectedly.

Ah, thanks for reminding me.  The question sounded familiar to me :-)

You mean in case a user says: "Dammit AUCTeX, I know what I'm doing,
insert what I type!"  Checking `last-command' might be a solution, but
is it worth to introduce it where 'C-q <char>' is already available?
Now one could argue that " does the same in terms of insert `` first and
upon second invocation replace that with ", but I'm not sure $ should do
the same.  But I don't have a strong opinion on this, if you think we
should change this, please go ahead :-)

Regardless of this, I think adding the cases entries above to
`texmathp-tex-commands-default' would make sense and cures the issue at
hand.  WDYT?

Best, Arash

Rather, "What happened? Not sure, but I type $ again in case I actually
did something wrong instead of typing $ correctly." ;-)

Hm, indeed.

I'm reluctant to take this approach. If `texmathp' regards the first
column of those envs as non-math, it invalidates math-mode aware
features such as automatic switching between \mathrm and \textrm for C-c
C-f C-r, providing {}-pair for "_" and "^" with non-nil
`TeX-electric-sub-and-superscript'.

Then, how about adding supplementary instruction to the message which
`TeX-insert-dollar' shows? For example,
Math mode started with `...' cannot be closed with dollar.  You can
insert it anyway by C-q $.

That seems to be a different user from the one I meant ;-)

Yes, one side of the cases will suffer.

I'd suggest to say "You can insert it anyway by C-u $" which is more in
line with the docstring of `TeX-insert-dollar'.  Does it make sense?

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

Hi, thank you for dealing with this.  The suggested C-q works fine for me.

I think it adds to the discussion that while AUCTeX prevents me from
entering "$", it happily allows me to enter the equivalent "\(" in an
equation environment.  I just did it:

\begin{equation}
  \label{eq:1}
  \(kkk\)
\end{equation}

This could be another workaround.

In my opinion (just a longtime user's opinion), this direction of "let us
prevent the user from making a mistake as he types" doesn't seem essential,
and it apparently leads to serious complications in implementation.   A
user can be really creative in making stupid mistakes but we do not expect
AUCTeX to prevent us from making them.  One error I repeatedly  make is
enter an equation environment in align (this is because I leave the cursor
at the wrong place when typing "C-c C-e").  AUCTeX lets me do similar stuff:

\begin{equation}
  \label{eq:1}
  \(kkk\)
  \begin{equation}
    \label{eq:2}

  \end{equation}
\end{equation}

It is similar in my mind  to autocorrect on a cell phone where I enter
something and autocorrect sends a different message.

Having said that, I emphasize that AUCTeX is fantastic, and I have been
using it in my work for decades.

I feel similarly.

I began to think that `TeX-insert-dollar' should behave the same way as
in non-math mode when `texmathp' thinks that math mode didn't start with
dollar(s), possibly with a warning message.

What do others think?

Sure, we can relax the behavior of `TeX-insert-dollar', I don't object.
Would it make sense to introduce a custom variable for this?

That's a reasonable idea. I'll work on this issue along that line.
However, it may take some time since I don't have much spare time now.

Thanks.  And take your time, I don't think we're in a rush here.  And
while're you're thinking about it, maybe you also want to think about
