ConTeXt-mark-environment and transient-mark-mode

[Adam Duck]

Hello AuCTeXers,

I have this problem:

doing `ConTeXt-mark-environment' with `transient-mark-mode' ends in
nothing being marked. With `transient-mark-mode' off, the region is
there - though I can't see it, of course.

There are still issues with the indentation, for example this:

--- ConTeXt source ---

\starttext

\placeintermezzo[here][]
{my Intermezzo}
\startalignment
This intermezzo is indented too far, plus the
indentation-levels stay at that level.
\stopalignment

\stoptext

--- end ---

The same happens with \placefigure. This can be somewhat remedied if
one places the "{label}" on the same line as the TeX-macro, but it
isn't quite as nice (plus Hans Hagen, the author of ConTeXt, uses this
scheme all the time). But the next one is really bad:

--- ConTeXt source ---

\starttext

\startitemize
\item hello
\stopitemize
hello

\stoptext

--- end ---

This problem can't be circumvented, it just stays there.

(emacs-version) "GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.4.14)
of 2005-03-11 on oumu.localdomain", AUCTeX-version "CVS-5.488"

bye, Adam.

P.S.: thanks for the work on `fill-paragraph'.

Hm, this is working fine here on a CVS Emacs which is two days old.

Tested with

\startfoo
-!-asdf
\stopfoo

by typing `M-x ConTeXt-mark-environment RET' (where -!- means the
position of point).

This is a problem we already discussed back in December. I proposed a
patch and asked for feedback. As I haven't got any, I now checked it
into CVS. Could you please test it and tell me in case you encounter
any problems?

I still have the patch related to indentation in XEmacs here.[1] But
as long as CVS XEmacs is not fixed in this regard, I probably won't
check it in.

Hmm, strange... what can I do to track it down? I have recompiled my
emacs yesterday and auctex today.

This one's great! My files look much nicer now, thanks to you :).
But something like this is still not working:

\defineframedtext[blueframe]
[frame=off,background=screen,
rightframe=on,framecolor=darkgreen,
rulethickness=3pt,offset=3pt]

as you can see, the lines are one character off and the next line after
this command is indented too far (this should be the same problem as
with my \place(intermezzo|figure). As I said, I can circumvent it, but
it would be nicer this way.

I don't use it anymore: I happen to like the new faces (with boxes,
overlines and underlines,...:) ) plus cedet-CVS isn't working with
xemacs.

Does it work if you start Emacs with `emacs -q -no-site-file', copy

(require 'tex-site)
(transient-mark-mode 1)

into the *scratch* buffer, type `M-x eval-buffer RET' and after that
open a ConTeXt file? In case it does, there is something in your init
files making trouble.

That's true. In case I can find some time I'll eventually take a look
at it unless somebody beats me to it (which I hope because I don't
have much time currently).
