bug#42243: About a Potential Change/Bug That Might Have Rendered cdlatex Mostly Dysfunctional

[SEMIH KACMAZ]

Hello,

For some reason, cdlatex stopped functioning properly today. I have informed the cdlatex developer about the issue and he suspected a change in AUCTeX might be responsible for it. Further comments and suggestions would be much appreciated.

You can find below the detailed description of the issue.

Here is the link to the correspondence below

Description:

"Hello, for some reason, cdlatex stopped functioning properly today. When I try to insert a math modifier under align, align*, equation* or multline environments, cdlatex throws the "No such modifier /modifier-symbol/ outside math mode." error. Furthermore, when I try to insert a math symbol under these environments the symbol is generated between double dollar signs as if it is called in the text-mode.

However, it works flawlessly and as it used to with the "equation" environment.

I am using AucTeX in Emacs 26.3 which was downloaded from emacsformacosx.com and my OS is macOS Catalina 10.15.5."

His response:

"I believe this must be due to a change in AUCTeX. The constant texmathp-tex-commands-default used to contain the align environments etc, but no longer does. I am assuming that there is now a procedure in place to add these commands based on LaTeX package loading. But I am not sure. Can you please report this to the AUCTeX people and update me on their answer?"

Many thanks,

Semih
