[Bug-AUCTeX] 2005-05-21; Incomplete chktex helpstring in tex.el

[Jay Belanger]

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.

If the bug (or problem) is triggered by a specific (La)TeX
file, you should try to produce a minimal sample file showing the
problem and include it in your report.

Your bug report will be posted to the AUCTeX bug reporting list.

In the definition of TeX-command-list, the entry for chktex was 
never finished:

    ;; (list "Check" "chktex -v3 %s" TeX-run-compile nil t :help "Check )
    ;; Uncomment the above line and comment out the next line to
    ;; use `chktex' instead of `lacheck'.
    ("Check" "lacheck %s" TeX-run-compile nil (latex-mode)
     :help "Check LaTeX file for correctness")

It should probably be changed to something like:

    ;; ("Check" "chktex -v3 %s" TeX-run-compile nil t 
    ;;  :help "Check LaTeX file for correctness")
    ;; Uncomment the above two lines and comment out the next two lines to
    ;; use `chktex' instead of `lacheck'.
    ("Check" "lacheck %s" TeX-run-compile nil (latex-mode)
     :help "Check LaTeX file for correctness")

Also, the versions of chktex that I've come across have a wrapper
script so it can be called with the command "lacheck"; it might be
worth mentioning this in the documentation as an alternative to
changing the lisp file.
