Hi all,
this is not actually a bug regarding the code, but the documentation. In
the Manual, when talking about CDLaTeX mode (specifically at
https://orgmode.org/manual/CDLaTeX-mode.html), it is said, regarding the
single quote:
> Pressing the single-quote followed by another character modifies the
symbol before point with an accent or a font.

However, in my setup it's the other way around: first you digit a
character, and THEN you press the single quote. This is also reflected, for
what I saw, in the docstring of the function cdlatex-math-modify, which
says "Modify PREVIOUS char/group/macro with math accent/style." (my
emphasis).

I think this is a typo to be corrected in the Manual. Is this the right
place to make such a suggestion?

Thanks in advance to all and I apologize if this is not the right way to
submit an errata.

I post my configuration after my message.

Thanks! You're right, I was confused. In the phrase "Pressing the
single-quote FOLLOWED by another character modifies the symbol BEFORE
POINT with an accent or a font.", I got tricked by the "followed". I
thought it meant: "press the single-quote, then the character YOU WANT
TO MODIFY". Of course, re-reading the sentence with your explanation
now makes sense.

I don't remember right now what I understood when I read it the first
time, but possibly I also interpreted the "symbol before point" as
"the symbol before point after you pressed the single-quote", hence my
confusion.

> "Modify PREVIOUS char/group/macro with math accent/style." does not
> contradict the above.

Indeed! that was my point. I got this docstring right, it was the
manual that I misread.

I don't know if it's worth changing it, but I may suggest to change
"modifies the symbol before point with an accent or a font."
with
"modifies the symbol before THE SINGLE-QUOTE with an accent or a font." ?

Thanks,
Alessandro
