I would like to use org to type my math lessons, documentation says it has an embedded system completion which can be activated by :

(add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'turn-on-org-cdlatex)

This command is not present on my system (emacs 24). There is still an org-cdlatex-mod but when I trigger it with M-x it says

Cannot open load file: no such file or directory, cdlatex

After what if I retrigger the mod it says that the mode is now disabled. However it doesn't do anything after I type C-c { to insert an environnment template...

There is a package, but the documentation says that I shouldn't use it since it's embedded in emacs.

  • I'm having your same problem! emacswiki.org says to download a script written by Carsten Dominik himself from this link, but where to put it in a Windows 7 machine? C:\home\.emacs.d\???

  • This other page says to give the following command: M-x package-install [RET] cdlatex [RET]. I've tried, but emacs says [No match]. So back to problem #1 -- where to put the script cdlatex-4.0.el?

    You can put it anywhere in the file system. The only restriction is that the directory must be in the list of load-path. Of course it must also be readable for emacs. Furthermore, I assume that you should rename cdlatex-4.0.el to cdlatex.el. But the latter is just a guess.

  • But the wiki saiy not to install cdlatex because it is now built in.

  • @Tobias is right. Type C-h v RET load-path RET to get list of all load-paths where to choose from. I chose to put cdlatex.el in C:\Program Files\emacs-24.4\share\emacs\24.4\lisp from the list of possible load paths, then restarted the machine. In Org-mode activate CDLaTeX with M-x org-cdlatex-mode and try inserting some math etc. I'm having some extra trouble with the backquote symbol, I'm getting error msg "Wrong type argument: characterp, 134217782", don't know why. If CDLaTeX is off, backquote is all right. Can anyone suggest a fix up?

I solved a similar (possibly the same problem) by installing auctex, like this:

M-x package-install RET auctex RET

I suppose that there is a dependency that both cdlatex and auctex need but which was not installed with cdlatex.
