[AUCTeX-devel] latex-mode or context-mode in startup

[Carlos]

Hello Mosè and Tassilo.

The aim is to load either latex-mode or context-mode regardless of the
extension used. And whether that is a tex file extension, or abc, or
xyz.

With the assumption that emacs and auctex are solely used for
typesetting purposes. 

(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\|\\'" . latex-mode ))

(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\|\\'" . context-mode ))

And of course that file-extension in tex.el, must have the desired abc, xyz 
extension. Configure, make and install should suffice.

But the above is not what I'm after.

What is the purpose of the AucTeX extension, if Emacs can't fire the
parser, regardless of the file that is being used.
