Let me restate my question: How do you convince the GNU EMACS command M-x spell-buffer to correctly check the spelling of a TeX or LaTeX buffer? M-x spell-buffer appears to use the system command "spell" which processes its input with deroff which makes a somewhat ... humorous ... transformation of the TeX input. I know about detex and can do the steps of the pipeline by hand but would prefer have the M-x spell-buffer command do the "right" thing.

I have in my private bin/ a shellscript named "spell" contining: delatex $1 | /usr/bin/spell Brute force, but it works both inside and outside emacs. /jr jr@bbn.com or jr@bbn.uucp

At one point, you could pick up the VorTeX Emacs files -- they had a very nice TeX spell interface. Are those still available?

Create a file .emacs in your home directory and put in it (among other things) (setq auto-mode-alist '((``\\.tex$'' . TeX-mode)) ) This command assures that if you load a file *.tex in GNU Emacs buffer you automatically set TeX-mode for it. Now you have all the special and useful TeX-mode commands available. Try C-c C-h to see them. There is also a TeX/LaTeX spell command in it. You can invoke it either as M-x tex-spell-buffer or C-c C-s b The tex-spell-buffer command gives you also the possibility to create a hashed file of your own special words which are then in the following spell command invocations not indicated as spell errors.

I have made exactly the required changes to the file "spell.ml", but I'm running Unipress Emacs and not GNU. I also added the capability of adding words to a local copy of spell's hash list. I sent a copy of the original poster. If anyone wants a copy, sent me a note.

We are using GNU emacs 18.50.1 now, but we could not find where this "tex-spell-buffer" function is. In the tex-mode.el, there's no function like that. Could anyone show me how to get this?
