Subject: 12.2; LaTeX-mark-section and LaTeX-section-list
Date: Mon, 4 Sep 2023 14:46:17 -0400

I've added a custom section to LaTeX-section-list, but LaTeX-mark-section ignores it. This may be the intended behavior, but I think it would make more sense for it to mark sections based on the entries in LaTeX-section-list.

In case it matters, here's the buffer local value of my LaTeX-section-list:
(("part" 0)
 ("chapter" 1)
 ("section" 2)
 ("nsection" 2)
 ("subsection" 3)
 ("subsubsection" 4)
 ("paragraph" 5)
 ("subparagraph" 6))

Sorry for inconvenience. I assume you have file local variable section
like this:
%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-master: t
%%% LaTeX-section-list: (("part" 0) ("chapter" 1) ("section" 2) ("nsection" 2) ("subsection" 3) ("subsubsection" 4) ("paragraph" 5) ("subparagraph" 6))
%%% End:

For a tentative workaround, add the following code block in your init
file (~/.emacs.d/init.el) and try it out:
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook
	  (lambda ()
	    (add-hook 'hack-local-variables-hook
		      (lambda ()
			(setq-local outline-regexp (LaTeX-outline-regexp t))
			(setq outline-heading-alist
			      (mapcar (lambda (x)
					(cons (concat "\\" (nth 0 x)) (nth 1 x)))
				      LaTeX-section-list)))
		      nil t)))

To developers:
`LaTeX-common-initialization' sets up some variables including
`outline-regexp' and `outline-heading-alist' before `run-mode-hooks',
which is responsible for parsing and applying the file local variables.
Shouldn't we move such set-up codes after `run-mode-hooks'? (And if so,
similar argument applies for other AUCTeX major modes as well.)

Ikumi Keita

That sounds reasonable in the current case.  OTOH, it could be that
users set things like outline-regexp in those mode-hooks which would
then be overridden by our set-up code if that ran after the hooks...

Hmm, how about adding locally-bound test like this?
(defun TeX-latex-mode ()
...
  (LaTeX-common-initialization)
...
  (run-mode-hooks 'text-mode-hook 'TeX-mode-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook)
...
  (or (local-variable-p 'outline-regexp)
      (setq-local outline-regexp (LaTeX-outline-regexp t))
  (or (local-variable-p 'outline-heading-alist)
      (setq outline-heading-alist
        (mapcar (lambda (x)
          (cons (concat "\\" (nth 0 x)) (nth 1 x)))
             LaTeX-section-list)))
...

(I noticed that this doesn't work as expected for doctex-mode because
`run-mode-hooks' doesn't run hooks and `hack-local-variables' when
latex-mode is called as parent of doctex-mode. We need to switch to
"feature/fix-mode-names-overlap" branch, to define all major modes by
`define-derived-mode', for clean solution.)

Oh, yes, that looks like a proper approach to tackle that problem.

Attached is the current proposal for latex-mode for setups of
variables involving sections, paragraphs and indentations. At first I
thought to have locally-bound test for paragraphs and indentations as
well, but concluded that I shouldn't have for the reason written in as
the comments.

I installed a fix in the git repo, so you won't need the workaround
under the next AUCTeX release.

I'll close this bug.

I'm sorry to deliver you a bad news. In response to bug#69254[1], we
decided to revert the fix of bug#65750. This is in favor of being able
to turn on outline minor mode in `LaTeX-mode-hook'. See the thread of
[1] for detail.

Therefore, you again need the code block
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook
	  (lambda ()
	    (add-hook 'hack-local-variables-hook
		      (lambda ()
			(setq-local outline-regexp (LaTeX-outline-regexp t))
			(setq outline-heading-alist
			      (mapcar (lambda (x)
					(cons (concat "\\" (nth 0 x)) (nth 1 x)))
				      LaTeX-section-list)))
		      nil t)))
in your init file to make `LaTeX-mark-section' recognize your customize
to `LaTeX-section-list' as the file local variable after the next AUCTeX
release.

Sorry for inconvenience.
