Re: [AUCTeX] auctex Digest, Vol 129, Issue 18: Setup for new PDF-Tools

[Andrea De Michele]

I also use pdf-tools as pdf viewer with auctex, and the auto refresh of
the viewer buffer works (with auctex 11.89) but only with LaTeX, not
with ConTeXt.

I checked that TeX-after-TeX-LaTeX-command-finished-hook is not used
with ConTeXt-mode.

I have changed the function TeX-ConTeXt-sentinel in context.el adding at
the end

(unless TeX-error-list
    (run-hook-with-args 'TeX-after-TeX-LaTeX-command-finished-hook
                        (with-current-buffer TeX-command-buffer
                          (expand-file-name
                           (TeX-active-master (TeX-output-extension))))))

and now the auto refresh works also in ConTeXt.

There is a better way to enable the auto refresh for ConTeXt?

It is possible to include in AUCTeX the auto refresh feature also for
ConTeXt?
