18.9 Optimizations
==================
-- User Option: reftex-keep-temporary-buffers
Non-‘nil’ means, keep buffers created for parsing and lookup.
RefTeX sometimes needs to visit files related to the current
document. We distinguish files visited for
PARSING
Parts of a multifile document loaded when (re)-parsing the
document.
LOOKUP
BibTeX database files and TeX files loaded to find a
reference, to display label context, etc.
The created buffers can be kept for later use, or be thrown away
immediately after use, depending on the value of this variable:
‘nil’
Throw away as much as possible.
‘t’
Keep everything.
‘1’
Throw away buffers created for parsing, but keep the ones
created for lookup.
If a buffer is to be kept, the file is visited normally (which is
potentially slow but will happen only once). If a buffer is to be
thrown away, the initialization of the buffer depends upon the
variable ‘reftex-initialize-temporary-buffers’.
-- User Option: reftex-initialize-temporary-buffers
Non-‘nil’ means do initializations even when visiting file
temporarily. When ‘nil’, RefTeX may turn off find-file hooks and
other stuff to briefly visit a file. When ‘t’, the full default
initializations are done (‘find-file-hook’ etc.). Instead of ‘t’
or ‘nil’, this variable may also be a list of hook functions to do
a minimal initialization.
-- User Option: reftex-no-include-regexps
List of regular expressions to exclude certain input files from
parsing. If the name of a file included via ‘\include’ or ‘\input’
is matched by any of the regular expressions in this list, that
file is not parsed by RefTeX.
-- User Option: reftex-enable-partial-scans
Non-‘nil’ means, re-parse only 1 file when asked to re-parse.
Re-parsing is normally requested with a ‘C-u’ prefix to many RefTeX
commands, or with the ‘r’ key in menus. When this option is ‘t’ in
a multifile document, we will only parse the current buffer, or the
file associated with the label or section heading near point in a
menu. Requesting re-parsing of an entire multifile document then
requires a ‘C-u C-u’ prefix or the capital ‘R’ key in menus.
-- User Option: reftex-save-parse-info
Non-‘nil’ means, save information gathered with parsing in files.
The file ‘MASTER.rel’ in the same directory as ‘MASTER.tex’ is used
to save the information. When this variable is ‘t’,
− accessing the parsing information for the first time in an
editing session will read that file (if available) instead of
parsing the document.
− exiting Emacs or killing a buffer in reftex-mode will cause a
new version of the file to be written.
-- User Option: reftex-parse-file-extension
File extension for the file in which parser information is stored.
This extension is added to the base name of the master file.
-- User Option: reftex-allow-automatic-rescan
Non-‘nil’ means, RefTeX may rescan the document when this seems
necessary. Applies (currently) only in rare cases, when a new
label cannot be placed with certainty into the internal label list.
-- User Option: reftex-use-multiple-selection-buffers
Non-‘nil’ means use a separate selection buffer for each label
type. These buffers are kept from one selection to the next and
need not be created for each use, so the menu generally comes up
faster. The selection buffers will be erased (and therefore
updated) automatically when new labels in its category are added.
See the variable ‘reftex-auto-update-selection-buffers’.
-- User Option: reftex-auto-update-selection-buffers
Non-‘nil’ means, selection buffers will be updated automatically.
When a new label is defined with ‘reftex-label’, all selection
buffers associated with that label category are emptied, in order
to force an update upon next use. When ‘nil’, the buffers are left
alone and have to be updated by hand, with the ‘g’ key from the
label selection process. The value of this variable will only have
any effect when ‘reftex-use-multiple-selection-buffers’ is
non-‘nil’.
