Hi,

Just detected during writing a german letter with dinbrief class and
also seen with letter class and article class.  First one have to use
a name for the letter which does not have the same basename as the
AucTeX style file.  Means calling `emacs letter.tex` and using
letter as document class works as now the environment `letter` exists
and will do the questions given in letter.el.  But using an other
basename does not work that way. Also in this case the variable 
`LaTeX-default-document-environment` is `nil` ... the same with
a german letter with the dinbrief class which uses dinbrief.el.
In both cases the options are known but the hook is not expanded.
The same test with a fresh file using the article class ... the
in the `TeX-add-style-hook` added "abstract" environment is not known.

Thanks for the report.  I admit I'm not sure if I exactly understand
what you describe.  Can you please:

  • Set `TeX-parse-self' to t and try it again?  I see have you have
    that variable set to nil.

  • If that doesn't work, can you please provide a minimal .tex file for
    us in order to reproduce what you describe?

TIA.  Best, Arash

Hi,

thanks for pinging ... I've a simple patch to resolve this problem.
Beside missing parentheses the correct order of the LaTeX-add-environments
solve it for me.

This should make it easier to select the "fenster" option; you don't
have to type "ja" or "nein".  WDYT?

Sound reasonable indeed! Thanks for the proposal.

Thanks for the confirmation.  I pushed that change as well, so I'm
closing this report.
