Re: Auctex persistent problems not recognizing master file

[David Denton]

All of my packages were previously installed by (M)ELPA when I was using straight Emacs. I still had this problem at that time.

Now I am using Doom-Emacs and all of the packages are handled by the Straight package manager and are pinned to particular commits. I think they are loaded through M/ELPA but I am not sure about this.

If it would help, I could try to disable the version of Auctex in Doom and try another locally compiled package but would need instructions on this.

In the meantime, I will send my MWE source files.

The latter shows that emacs didn't analysed your Local Variables
section. In addition, it is very strange to see "without a source
file." for it. It should be "defined in ‘files.el’." under usual
circumastances.

It's possible David installed Emacs from a package manager and the Emacs package
comes without source files. (Debian has a separate package containing the Elisp
source files for Emacs, for example.)
