Check what M-TAB really is bound to with C-h c (C-M i is also
equivalent), maybe something else "hides" it...
M-TAB is bound to TeX-complete-symbol.
Some light is beginning to dawn...
Actually, completion *does* know about macros in
/Users/agn/Library/texmf/tex/latex/my styles/mystyle.sty for any file
random.tex that explicitly does a \usepackage{mystyle}, so long as M-x
TeX-auto-generate is called *after* \usepackage{mystyle} is inserted
into random.tex.
So macro completion is working fine for such self-sufficient files
(and incidentally, the AMSmath environments like align are available
from C-c C-e for files that do \usepackage{amsmath})
My problem is that the files I want to use the macros in are chapters,
and are included in a file master.tex. It is master.tex that does
\usepackage{mystyle}, so there is no explicit mention of mystyle in
the chapter file chaptern.tex.
From my reading of the AucTeX manual, I have now added
% Local Variables:
% TeX-master: "../../master.tex"
% End:
in my file chaptern.tex
This seems to have worked so far as
(i) C-h v TeX-master in chaptern.tex gives
TeX-master is a variable defined in `tex.el'.
Its value is
"../../master.tex"
Local in buffer Chap_NEU.tex; global value is t
(ii) C-c C-c in chaptern.tex now applies commands to ../../master.tex
Very useful!
However, macro completion in chaptern.tex still does not know about
the commands defined in /Users/agn/Library/texmf/tex/latex/my
styles/mystyle.sty.
Nor are the AMSmath environments like align, usepackaged in
../../NEMO_book.tex, available in chaptern.tex....
Clearly I'm still missing something.
