[AUCTeX-devel] off-topic bibtex.el

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi

I know this is a bit off topic, since bibtex.el is not part of auctex.
However I would like to hear your opinion. As I said earlier I am
switching form Xemacs to GNU emacs.

So far I have not seen any dramatic difference with bibtex.el till now.

Xemacs still uses an almost attic version from 1997, while GNU emacs has
a more modern one.

However the old Xemacs bibtex.el had a function called
bibtex-hide-entry-bodies
which works fine even for large buffers.

Now GNU emacs bibtex has removed this functionality and refers to
hs-minor-mode.

So I tried out that mode and for large buffers it is clearly inferior,
since some entries are not hidden. I could attach some screenshots but
prefer not for the moment.

Any comments or experience with the hiding functionality?

Thanks

Uwe Brauer
