Hi, I was referred here by an KDE BTS entry (http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=114940). Currently the patterns <glob pattern="*.tex"/> <glob pattern="*.ltx"/> <glob pattern="*.sty"/> <glob pattern="*.cls"/> determine an Tex-Document. The entries *.dtx and *.ins are missing. (See e.g.http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=dtx for an explanation what these files are) In short these are extensions for documents which have to be processed using "latex <filename>". In KDE also *.latex is included in text/x-latex, but there seems no text/x-latex in the shared-mime-info-0.16 package. I don't no how official the suffix ".latex" is for latex documents. Thanks Thomas Braun
Done for the patterns: 2006-08-25 Bastien Nocera <hadess@hadess.net> * freedesktop.org.xml.in: add *.dtx and *.ins as possible patterns for TeX files, spotted by Thomas Braun <braun@physik.fu-berlin.de> (Re: #6235) Anything wrong with adding *.latex to the TeX patterns as well?
Hello, I just made a little internet research and discovered that .ltx is also a common suffix for tex documents. Especially under latex users having winedt as editor. I would suggest to add .ltx and .latex to the x-tex mimetype. There is, in my eyes, no need for an extra mimetype x-latex. If there is need for, I can try to get an official answer to this question. Thanks Thomas Braun
*.ltx was already in there. 2006-08-26 Bastien Nocera <hadess@hadess.net> * freedesktop.org.xml.in: Add *.latex as a pattern for TeX documents (Closes: #6235)
