1.2.8 Customizing
-----------------
Most of the site-specific customization should already have happened
during configuration of AUCTeX. Any further customization can be done
with customization buffers directly in Emacs. Just type 'M-x
customize-group RET AUCTeX RET' to open the customization group for
AUCTeX or use the menu entries provided in the mode menus. Editing the
file 'tex-site.el' as suggested in former versions of AUCTeX should not
be done anymore because the installation routine will overwrite those
changes.
You might check some variables with a special significance. They are
accessible directly by typing 'M-x customize-variable RET <variable>
RET'.
-- User Option: TeX-macro-global
Directories containing the site's TeX style files.
Normally, AUCTeX will only allow you to complete macros and
environments which are built-in, specified in AUCTeX style files or
defined by yourself. If you issue the 'M-x TeX-auto-generate-global'
command after loading AUCTeX, you will be able to complete on all macros
available in the standard style files used by your document. To do
this, you must set this variable to a list of directories where the
standard style files are located. The directories will be searched
recursively, so there is no reason to list subdirectories explicitly.
Automatic configuration will already have set the variable for you if it
could use the program 'kpsewhich'. In this case you normally don't have
to alter anything.
