Gnus and RefTeX

Gnus and RefTeX

[Sebastian P. Luque]

Hi,

Hopefully somebody in the list uses RefTeX and has encountered this
problem.  The manual suggests that we can cite in Gnus via RefTeX:

╭───── [ (info "(reftex)Citations Outside LaTeX") ]
│      (add-hook 'mail-setup-hook
│                (lambda () (define-key mail-mode-map "\C-c["
│                             (lambda ()
│                               (interactive)
│                               (let ((reftex-cite-format 'locally))
│                                 (reftex-citation))))))
╰─────

It used to work until Emacs 23.1 (I think), but is currently failing
with the message:

"The mode `Message' does not support Imenu"

in GNU Emacs 24.3.50.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.4.2) of
2013-04-10 on dex, modified by Debian, which ships with Gnus v5.13.  I
really miss this functionality, so any tips would be welcome.

Cheers,

Should have checked my AUCTeX setup, where I had
`imenu-add-menubar-index' in `reftex-load-hook'.  In fact, everything is
fine if reftex has already loaded before e.g. while editing a *.tex
file, but not if it's first loaded while writing a message.  So a
solution was to `let'-bind the hook to nil in the lambda function.

This sounds very interesting never heard about it. I just tried it out
(Xemacs 21.5.32 Mule) but can you give my an example how it is supposed
to work, because I obtain the following message when executing \C-c[

"No valid bibliography in this document, and no default available"


So I added
\bibliographystyle{amsplain}
\bibliography{/home/oub/tex/bib/bibgraf}


But it did not help neither (I opened a Latex file with bib and refs)

thanks

Perhaps you need to set `reftex-default-bibliography'.  The function
above prompts you to search for a reference there in the minibuffer and
inserts a full citation in your messages, as this: "Venables \& Ripley
2002, Springer".  It's limited to one at a time.
