Bug list for iTe 1_1 (Aug 1998)

BUG

iTe scrambles macros in the TeX source that start with \ite and do not continue with an 'm', such as \iterate.

FIX

Replace the single occurrence of [^m] in ite.el by [^a-zA-Z].

FIX

Replace all two occurences in 'ite.el' of copypage by flushpage.

BUG

Minor modes are switched off by iTe.

            (outline-minor-mode t))) 
	

instead of

         (add-hook 'latex-mode-hook 'outline-minor-mode)
