Dear listmembers,
when I enter the emacs-customization menu, move forward from wp-group to
tex to auctex and try to modify Tex Pdf Mode from "off" to "on" and say "save
for future sessions" I get an error about unmatched parentheses.
The Message buffer tells me:
forward-sexp: Scan error: "Unbalanced parentheses", 996, 7860
The error is caused by the modify-syntax-entry - line in .gnu-emacs-custom:
<more commands>
;; several comments here ...
(modify-syntax-entry ?" "w")
<more commands>
No error happens at startup time, emacs loads and (at least seems to ...)
accept the command, however, the customization - save function does not.
Googling around I found a potential hint in cobol-mode.el:
(modify-syntax-entry ?\" "." st) ; wiki \" bug workaround comment
but this made nothing really clearer to me .... should I modify ?" into ?
\" ???
User error or issue with the customization function?
Could some gentle soul shine some light on this?
Thank you very much for looking into this,
take care

if you really want to see the pictures above - use some font
with constant spacing like courier! :-)
