tex files open with text.tex.latex.beamer grammar

[exploide]

Just noticed that spell check stopped working. I took a look why and noticed that tex files intended for inclusion (i.e. without \documentclass) are opened with text.tex.latex.beamer grammar by default.

Don't know why exactly beamer documents have their own grammar at all, but maybe this isn't intended behavior?! If it is, then maybe add to the relevant section in README that text.tex.latex.beamer is also a reasonable grammar when enabling spell check for LaTeX.

Sorry, this is an artefact of 788796b
There are some workaround on how to fix it, but if nothing comes up, shall revert that commit for now.

@ashthespy So I think it was you on Slack... anyway, I've made a PR to first-mate that should give a way to resolve the issue. I don't know if it will get accepted (stability seems very important to nowadays), but it seems harmless enough.

@Aerijo Indeed was me, thanks!

I note that "Latex Memoir.cson" grammar is also missing fileTypes "tex".
Would it be reasonable to add a contentRegex along the lines of "^%[ ]-\-[ ][bB]eamer[ ]-\-" to "Latex Memoir.cson", (mutatis mutants "Latex Beamer.cson") so that a comment of the form
% -- memoir -*-
would select the desired grammar (or, if absent entirely, fall-back to the latex grammar)?

I've been trying to make this work; however, I'm not sufficiently adept at all the escaping needed to correctly specify the regular expression .

I am also here for this bug. I am new atom user, and this was really confusing and almost turned me away.

@lsfinn contentRegex needs atom/first-mate#109 to be merged for it work, hopefully it gets merged soon!

Is there any progress on this? Is there indeed a workaround you suggest to use in the meantime?

Hey guys, this was fixed right away when I moved \documentclass to the top of the .tex file. For me, I'm using the IEEE template you can find online and it has comments before the \documentclass, which was messing with how the grammar was being categorized.

I know its not a great fix, but its a decent workaround. If not, just add text.tex.latex.beamer to your grammar.

With the package file-types you can set up that all .tex files are in text.tex.latex grammar .
For me, who is only use latex and no latex.beamer, this is perfect.
https://atom.io/packages/file-types

My config looks like this and works fine:
core: "file-types": "*.tex": "text.tex.latex"

I personally think this is an easy and pleasant workaround.

Should be fixed with d53027c that lands in v0.8.6
