How do I manually set beamer mode for .tex file?

[Shawn Way]

I work with a large number of .tex (beamer) files that are snippets which are input into larger projects.

As an example:

File

./slides.tex

contains

\input{Documentation/topic1.tex}
\input{Documentation/topic2.tex}

Now in slides.tex I have the

\documentclass[11pt]{beamer}

which will load the beamer.el for AUCTEX.

In the topic1.tex I do not have any heading information as it is input directly. How can I get the beamer.el to load for the topic1.tex file?

I don't care if I need to call it from the keyboard, I would just like to get beamer.el to load.

I don't know, but - do you use GNU Emacs? If so, try
gnu.emacs.help and you will probably get an answer
right away as that list/newsgroup has much more traffic
(actually, this group - comp.emacs - is all but dead).

Speaking of the gnu.* lists-turned-newsgroups, – their Mailman
instance apparently mangles the Message-Id:s up badly, so one
may just forget about threads there, for instance.

If anything, using Gmane [1] seems like a much better idea.

Well, I’m checking it from time to time. But I’m not all that
interested in Beamer, TeX, or the Org mode these days, alas.

No, threads work fine there.

OK :)

I think the formal or supposed division is GNU Emacs on
gnu.emacs.help and the like, and all other Emacs on
this group. But this group doesn't seem to pull its own
weight tho so I suppose 1-0 GNU as for that.

… But only as long as all the participants to the thread post
via NNTP. I can prepare a detailed report, but for a start,
here is how a thread looks in news:gmane.emacs.help:

And here’s the same conversation (plus one message) on

(That’s from Aioe, but I’d be surprised if it’s /they/ who
mangle the headers.)

… Any idea on what does this group’s chapter say on this (if
there ever was one)? FWIW, the ‘newsgroups’ file reads:

comp.emacs EMACS editors of different flavors.

As it seems, Usenet is in decline as a whole.
