Re: [AUCTeX] Problem accessing style files when document is split from preamble

[Nicolas Vaughan]

Hi Mosè,

Thanks for your answer. The file "auto/preamble.el" exists now. (I 
deleted the directory and reloaded the files in Emacs.)

I changed the "TeX-master" as you said, but to no avail. AUCTeX still 
does not recognise my preamble within the main document file.

Any ideas?

Best,

Nicolas
