RefTeX with ESS and Sweave oddity...

[Stephen Eglen]

hi Patrick,
I just tried your example, but I get the desired behaviour.  I've got
the following in my .emacs:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
(defun Rnw-mode ()
  (require 'ess-noweb)
  (noweb-mode)
  (if (fboundp 'R-mode)
      (setq noweb-default-code-mode 'R-mode)))
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.Rnw\\'" . Rnw-mode))
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.Snw\\'" . Rnw-mode))

(setq reftex-file-extensions
      '(("Snw" "Rnw" "nw" "tex" ".tex" ".ltx") ("bib" ".bib")))
(setq TeX-file-extensions
      '("Snw" "Rnw" "nw" "tex" "sty" "cls" "ltx" "texi" "texinfo"))
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I think I got these also from
http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~leisch/Sweave/FAQ.html

but when I viewed that page today with Firefox, I notice extra spaces
in the lisp code: e.g. auto-mode-alist appears as "add-to-l i s t  "

I assume you removed the excess whitespace?  In the meantime, I'll
write to Friedrich to see if he is aware of this.

Please post what you have in your .emacs so we can compare.

Thanks, Stephen
