Do we do LaTeX? #74

Open thblt opened 4 years ago

thblt commented 4 years ago

This is probably related to #63 . Outshine has a lot of infrastructure to support LaTeX editing, but it seems this infrastructure is totally isolated from the main code.

[ ] Is this a regression caused by #19? (A quick search of the diff didn't bring any significant changes with the keyword LaTeX)
[ ] Can this be improved, ie, can we get out of the box latex-mode support?
[ ] (If so, could we generalize this support to other modes who don't play well with the comment marker + stars approach?, eg Literate Haskell)
[ ] Is this infrastructure up-to-date? Eg, there's a outshine-get-latex-documentclass function (in outshine-org-cmds.el for some reason) that tries to determine the document's class but assumes the \documentclass is in the current buffer, which won't play well with AucTex's master document feature, and more generally the common LaTeX pattern to have a source file per chapter or so.

This issue is just a reminder for now.

The LaTeX infrastructure seems indeed useless.
Removing code in outshine--minor-mode-activate from (outshine-set-outline-regexp-base) to the end of the function makes outshine work with LaTeX

Solution: provide a secondary outshine mode, like outshine-respectful-mode or something, that doesn't try to compute the heading regexp. This can be done with a variable provided this variable gets set before outshine-mode is called.

I like the sound of that!

Hi @thblt , indeed I just started the LaTeX infrastructure when new professional opportunities turned my focus completely away from Emacs. So whats there cannot be more than some skeletons for some initial ideas wrt to LaTeX.

All those modes that define headlines themselves (Latex , html, ...) don't play too well with outshine I think. Its like "marking a headline as a headline" somehow.

outshine-respectful-mode sounds like a nice idea.

Continuing #85 here.

So outshine-cycle wont work till this is fixed. Is there a quick fix which I can incorporate in my config so that 'outshine-cycle' work in latex. I just need this function, nothing else from outshine-latex features.

I resolved it, please check https://github.com/alphapapa/outshine/issues/85#issuecomment-812295359
