Don't fill minted environments in AUCTex

Question

When running M-x LaTeX-fill-environment I don't want code in a minted environments to be formatted. I tried adding minted to LaTeX-fill-excluded-macros but that didn't have any effect on the filling. Any ideas on how to exclude certain environments from the command?

Answer 1

LaTeX-fill-excluded-macros should contain name of macros for whose arguments filling should be disabled, e.g. \macro{do not fill this}.

For your specific case, I suggest you use the support file for minted.sty coming with AUCTeX and activate it by putting this in your init file:

(setq TeX-parse-self t)

Restart Emacs and open your .tex file again. If you have an up to date AUCTeX, you'll get access to all features provided by minted.sty within Emacs.
