lua snippets in TeX

[Thomas A. Schmitz]

Hi,

maybe this is a naive question, but is it somehow possible to have
lua snippets within TeX code highlighted as lua code? This snippets
are delimited with

\startluacode

\stopluacode

tags. Could I convince aucTeX to use lua-mode.el
highlighting for these snippets?

Thanks

Thomas

Changing modes in mid-buffer is not something supported by Emacs in
general.  There is something called mmm-mode (multiple major mode) for
this problem space available somewhere, but I don't think somebody
adapted it for AUCTeX yet.

in fact, there are several libraries that implement multiple major modes in a
single buffer:

Pity. That whould be great for switching the input encoding somewhere
in the buffer after \inputencoding-command.

No, it wouldn't.  Changing the mode is not the same as changing the
buffer coding system.  The coding system applies for reading and writing
the buffer, the mode for interpreting its contents.

Multiple encodings in one buffer don't make much sense in my book.

Thank you, David and Joost. two-mode.el looks like exactly what I need; I'll
give it a try and see if it works with auctex. I'll report here!

Best
