,----[ (info "(auctex)Completion") <-- Type `C-x C-e' here ]
|    A more direct way to insert a macro is with `TeX-insert-macro',
| bound to `C-c C-m' which is equivalent to `C-c <RET>'.  It has the
| advantage over completion that it knows about the argument of most
| standard LaTeX macros, and will prompt for them.  It also knows about
| the type of the arguments, so it will for example give completion for
| the argument to `\include'.  Some examples are listed below.
