-@c section headings will not be broken in contrast to items.

-Something is not working correctly. What should I do?
-
-Well, you might have guessed it, the first place to look is in the
-available documentation packaged with @AUCTeX{}. This could be the
-release notes (in the @file{RELEASE} file) or the news section of the
-manual in case you are experiencing problems after an upgrade, the
-@file{INSTALL} file in case you are having problems with the
-installation, the section about bugs in the manual in case you
-encountered a bug or the relevant sections in the manual for other
-related problems.
-
-If this did not help, you can send a bug report to the @AUCTeX{} bug
-reporting list by using the command @kbd{M-x TeX-submit-bug-report @key{RET}}.
-But before you do this, you can try to get more information about the
-problem at hand which might also help you locate the cause of the error
-yourself.
-
-First, you can try to generate a so-called backtrace which shows the
-functions involved in a program error. In order to do this, start Emacs
-with the command line @samp{emacs --debug-init} and/or put the line
-
-@lisp
-(setq debug-on-error t)
-@end lisp
-
-as the first line into your init file. After Emacs has started, you can
-load a file which triggers the error and a new window should pop up
-showing the backtrace. If you get such a backtrace, please include it
-in the bug report.
-
-Second, you can try to figure out if something in your personal or site
-configuration triggers the error by starting Emacs without such
-customizations. You can do this by invoking Emacs with the following
-command line, depending on the installation scheme of @AUCTeX{} and your
-@acronym{OS}:
-@itemize
-@item
-If you installed @AUCTeX{} from @acronym{ELPA}, use @samp{emacs -q
--no-site-file --eval "(progn (setq package-load-list '((auctex t)))
-(package-initialize))"}. The @option{--eval} option activates only
-@AUCTeX{} among all installed @acronym{EPLA} packages.
-@item
-If you installed @AUCTeX{} via traditional
-@command{configure}--@command{make} scheme, use @samp{emacs -q
--no-site-file -l auctex}. The @option{-l} option loads @file{auctex.el}
-which you normally do in your init file.
-@item
-In both above cases, use @samp{runemacs} instead of @samp{emacs} on
-windows.
-@end itemize
-
-After you
-have started Emacs like this, you can load the file triggering the
-error. If everything is working now, you know that you have to search
-either in the site configuration file or your personal init file for
-statements related to the problem.
-
-@item
-What versions of Emacs are supported?
-
-@AUCTeX{} was tested with @w{GNU Emacs 25.1}. Older versions may work but
-are unsupported.
-
-@item
-What should I do when @command{./configure} does not find programs like @command{latex}?
-
-This is problem often encountered on Windows. Make sure that the
-@env{PATH} environment variable includes the directories containing the
-relevant programs, as described in
-@ifset rawfile
-the file @file{INSTALL.windows}
-@end ifset
-@ifclear rawfile
-@ref{Installation under MS Windows,,,auctex,the @AUCTeX{} manual}.
-@end ifclear
-
-@item
-Why doesn't the completion, style file, or multifile stuff work?
-
-It must be enabled first, insert this in your init file:
-
-@lisp
-(setq-default TeX-master nil)
-(setq TeX-parse-self t)
-(setq TeX-auto-save t)
-@end lisp
-
-Read also the chapters about parsing and multifile documents in the
-manual.
-@ifclear rawfile
-@xref{Parsing Files} and @ref{Multifile}.
-@end ifclear
-
-@item
-Why doesn't @code{TeX-save-document} work?
-
-@code{TeX-check-path} has to contain "@file{./}" somewhere.
-
-@item
-Why is the information in @file{foo.tex} forgotten when I save
-@file{foo.bib}?
-
-For various reasons, @AUCTeX{} ignores the extension when it stores
-information about a file, so you should use unique base names for your
-files. E.g.@: rename @file{foo.bib} to @file{foob.bib}.
-
-@item
-Why doesn't @AUCTeX{} signal when processing a document is done?
-
-If the message in the minibuffer stays "Type `C-c C-l' to display
-results of compilation.", you probably have a misconfiguration in your
-init file (@file{.emacs}, @file{init.el} or similar). To track this
-down either search in the @samp{*Messages*} buffer for an error message
-or put @code{(setq debug-on-error t)} as the first line into your init
-file, restart Emacs and open a @LaTeX{} file. Emacs will complain
-loudly by opening a debugging buffer as soon as an error occurs. The
-information in the debugging buffer can help you find the cause of the
-error in your init file.
-
-@item
-Why does @code{TeX-next-error} (@kbd{C-c `}) fail?
-
-If @code{TeX-file-line-error} is set to nil (not the default), these
-sort of failures might be related to the the fact that when writing the
-log file, @TeX{} puts information related to a file, including error
-messages, between a pair of parentheses. In this scenario @AUCTeX{}
-determines the file where the error happened by parsing the log file and
-counting the parentheses. This can fail when there are other,
-unbalanced parentheses present.
-
-Activating so-called @samp{file:line:error} messages for the log file usually
-solves this issue, as these kind of messages are are easier to parse;
-however, they may lack some details. Activation can be done either in
-the configuration of your @TeX{} system (consult its manual to see where
-this is) or by simply keeping the variable @code{TeX-file-line-error} to
-the default value of non-nil.
-
-@item
-What does @samp{AUC} stand for?
-
-@AUCTeX{} came into being at Aalborg University in Denmark. Back then
-the Danish name of the university was Aalborg Universitetscenter; @samp{AUC}
-for short.
