=========================================================================== $NetBSD: MESSAGE,v 1.6 2019/07/05 15:32:09 hauke Exp $ To customize AUCTeX, you will need to edit the file `${LISPDIR}/tex-site.el' in the site-lisp directory. Add the parts of `tex.el' (in the `auctex' subdirectory) which need to be changed to `tex-site.el'. This way, your customizations will not get deleted when you update to a newer version of AUCTeX. Users may then put (load "auctex.el" nil t t) (load "preview-latex.el" nil t t) in their (X)Emacs init file. If your site TeX macro files and style files are in a location different from `${PREFIX}/share/texmf/tex', set `TeX-macro-global' to the directory in your (X)Emacs init file: ;;; Note that the directory name must end with a slash! (setq TeX-macro-global "/home/foo/my/tex/") ===========================================================================
