How to turn on flyspell mode with AUCTeX?

Question

I'm using flyspell mode, but unfortunatly I have to M-x flyspell-mode in each AUCTeX buffer.

Somehow (add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'flyspell-mode) doesn't work for me.

What is the correct flyspell-hook in AUCTeX?

There is an emacs StackExchange site, shouldn't this question be there? — Jorge E. Cardona, Commented Jul 24, 2020 at 10:12

Try (add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook '(flyspell-mode t))

This will force flyspell-mode to turn on, instead of toggling it.

thanks. That worked. removing the hook worked as well. The hook might have been sourced somehow otherwise (from text-mode?).

This does not work the way you think it works. You probably enabled the flyspell-mode before in your text-mode-hook. The above code does not work and so does not disable the flyspell-mode.

This does not work. I am getting the same error as in stackoverflow.com/questions/42335854/…. The answer below does work for me.

(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook '(flyspell-mode t))

I would be surprised if the above worked.

The following works (using emacs 24):

(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook #'turn-on-flyspell)

This worked for me. The above didn't.

indeed, this one works instead of the above. Emacs 26.3.
