Capitalism is fine: breaks are still no subject of capital punishment!


I made a big break: I commented my old customisation in the TeX  
Command group (by extending the customise entry in AUCTeX's LaTeX  
menu) for TeX Command List and started anew, from scratch shown,  
copying the setting for plain TeX and then that for XeTeX:

Tex Command List:
INS DEL Name: XeTeX
             Command: %`xetex%(mode)%' %t
             How: Value Menu TeX-run-command
             Create a process for NAME using COMMAND to process FILE.  
Hide Rest
             Return the new process.
             Prompt: Toggle  off (nil)
             Modes: Value Menu Set:
             [X] Plain TeX
             [ ] LaTeX
             [ ] DocTeX
             [X] ConTeXt
             [X] Texinfo
             [X] AmSTeX
             Menu elements:
             INS
INS DEL Name: XeLaTeX
             Command: %`xelatex%(mode)%' %t
             How: Value Menu TeX-run-command
             Create a process for NAME using COMMAND to process FILE.  
More
             Prompt: Toggle  off (nil)
             Modes: Value Menu Set:
             [ ] Plain TeX
             [X] LaTeX
             [X] DocTeX
             [ ] ConTeXt
             [ ] Texinfo
             [X] AmSTeX
             Menu elements:
             INS

(I think this "DocTeX" stands for DTX files, so it is some LaTeX  
dialect; ConTeXt surely is some TeX and no LaTeX dialect, which I  
think is also true for texinfo; the simple "AmSTeX" could stand for  
both AmSTeX and AmSLaTeX.)

I now have a group of buffers summarised as "XeTeX." The XeLaTeX  
command ran as (notice the SPC in the file's name!):

	Running `XeLaTeX' on `A Mano' with ``xelatex - 
interaction=nonstopmode "\input" \"A\ Mano.tex\"''
	This is XeTeX, Version 3.141592-2.2-0.996 (Web2C 7.5.5)
	entering extended mode
	LaTeX2e <2005/12/01>
	Babel <v3.8h> and hyphenation patterns for english, nohyphenation,  
ngerman, fre
	nch, ukenglish, loaded.
...
	(./A Mano.aux) )
	(see the transcript file for additional information)
	No pages of output.
	Transcript written on A Mano.log.
	
	XeLaTeX exited abnormally with code 1 at Mon Feb  5 12:59:37


or:

	Running `XeTeX' on `AAT-info' with ``xetex -interaction=nonstopmode  
"\input" AAT-info.tex''
	This is XeTeX, Version 3.141592-2.2-0.996 (Web2C 7.5.5)
	entering extended mode
	(./AAT-info.tex [1] )
	Output written on AAT-info.pdf (1 page).
	Transcript written on AAT-info.log.
	
	XeTeX finished at Mon Feb  5 13:24:46



In the *Customisation* buffer there is this "How:" entry, which pops  
up some entries. One of them is shown above, another one is what I  
had before (TeX-run-TeX), and there are also TeX-run-interactive or  
TeX-run-shell. Could be these offer interactive use, allowing to  
input some text to TeX – but it does not seem to be documented. At  
least I could not find these strings in the PDF documentation  
displayed in TeXShop.


Next break, when still alive, I'll look at "Latex Command Style" to  
make AUCTeX detect XeLaTeX. I think the word list {setsansfont| 
setmonofont|setmathrm|setmathsf|setmathtt|setboldmathrm| 
newfontinstance} contains all markers that indicate XeLaTeX without  
any doubt.
