- ;;; Commentary:
-
- ;; This file provides a simple way to define powerful templates, or
- ;; macros, if you wish. It is mainly intended for, but not limited to,
- ;; other programmers to be used for creating shortcuts for editing
- ;; certain kind of documents. It was originally written to be used by
- ;; a HTML editing mode written by Nelson Minar <nelson@santafe.edu>,
- ;; and his html-helper-mode.el is probably the best example of how to
- ;; use this program.
-
- ;; A template is defined as a list of items to be inserted in the
- ;; current buffer at point. Some of the items can be simple strings,
- ;; while other can control formatting or define special points of
- ;; interest in the inserted text.
-
- ;; If a template defines a "point of interest" that point is inserted
- ;; in a buffer-local list of "points of interest" that the user can
- ;; jump between with the commands `tempo-backward-mark' and
- ;; `tempo-forward-mark'. If the template definer provides a prompt for
- ;; the point, and the variable `tempo-interactive' is non-nil, the
- ;; user will be prompted for a string to be inserted in the buffer,
- ;; using the minibuffer.
-
- ;; The template can also define one point to be replaced with the
- ;; current region if the template command is called with a prefix (or
- ;; a non-nil argument).
-
- ;; More flexible templates can be created by including lisp symbols,
- ;; which will be evaluated as variables, or lists, which will will be
- ;; evaluated as lisp expressions.
-
- ;; See the documentation for tempo-define-template for the different
- ;; items that can be used to define a tempo template.
-
- ;; One of the more powerful features of tempo templates are automatic
- ;; completion. With every template can be assigned a special tag that
- ;; should be recognized by `tempo-complete-tag' and expanded to the
- ;; complete template. By default the tags are added to a global list
- ;; of template tags, and are matched against the last word before
- ;; point. But if you assign your tags to a specific list, you can also
- ;; specify another method for matching text in the buffer against the
- ;; tags. In the HTML mode, for instance, the tags are matched against
- ;; the text between the last `<' and point.
-
- ;; When defining a template named `foo', a symbol named
- ;; `tempo-template-foo' will be created whose value as a variable will
- ;; be the template definition, and its function value will be an
- ;; interactive function that inserts the template at the point.
-
- ;; The latest tempo.el distribution can be fetched from
- ;; ftp.lysator.liu.se in the directory /pub/emacs
-
- ;; There is also a WWW page at
- ;; http://www.lysator.liu.se/~davidk/elisp/ which has some information
-
- ;;; Known bugs:
-
- ;; If the 'o is the first element in a template, strange things can
- ;; happen when the template is inserted at the beginning of a
- ;; line. This is due to strange behaviour in open-line. But it should
- ;; be easily avoided.
-
- ;; The 'o tag is also a problem when including the region. This will
- ;; be looked into.
-
- ;; Clicking mouse-2 in the completion buffer gives strange results.
-
- ;; There is a bug in some emacs versions that prevents completion from
- ;; working. If it doesn't work for you, send me a note indicating your
- ;; emacs version and your problems.

-
- ;; These people have given me important feedback and new ideas for
- ;; tempo.el. Thanks.

- "Define a template.
- This function creates a template variable `tempo-template-NAME' and an
- interactive function `tempo-template-NAME' that inserts the template
- at the point. The created function is returned.
-
- NAME is a string that contains the name of the template, ELEMENTS is a
- list of elements in the template, TAG is the tag used for completion,
- DOCUMENTATION is the documentation string for the insertion command
- created, and TAGLIST (a symbol) is the tag list that TAG (if provided)
- should be added to). If TAGLIST is nil and TAG is non-nil, TAG is
- added to `tempo-tags'
-
- The elements in ELEMENTS can be of several types:
-
- - A string. It is sent to the hooks in `tempo-insert-string-functions',
- and the result is inserted.
- - The symbol 'p. This position is saved in `tempo-marks'.
- - The symbol 'r. If `tempo-insert' is called with ON-REGION non-nil
- the current region is placed here. Otherwise it works like 'p.
- - (p PROMPT <NAME> <NOINSERT>) If `tempo-interactive' is non-nil, the
- user is prompted in the minbuffer with PROMPT for a string to be
- inserted. If the optional parameter NAME is non-nil, the text is
- saved for later insertion with the `s' tag. If there already is
- something saved under NAME that value is used instead and no
- prompting is made. If NOINSERT is provided and non-nil, nothing is
- inserted, but text is still saved when a NAME is provided. For
- clarity, the symbol 'noinsert should be used as argument.
- - (P PROMPT <NAME> <NOINSERT>) Works just like the previous tag, but
- forces tempo-interactive to be true.
- - (r PROMPT <NAME> <NOINSERT>) like the previous, but if
- `tempo-interactive' is nil and `tempo-insert' is called with
- ON-REGION non-nil, the current region is placed here. This usually
- happens when you call the template function with a prefix argument.
- - (s NAME) Inserts text previously read with the (p ..) construct.
- Finds the insertion saved under NAME and inserts it. Acts like 'p
- if tempo-interactive is nil.
- - '& If there is only whitespace between the line start and point,
- nothing happens. Otherwise a newline is inserted.
- - '% If there is only whitespace between point and end-of-line
- nothing happens. Otherwise a newline is inserted.
- - 'n inserts a newline.
- - '> The line is indented using `indent-according-to-mode'. Note that
- you often should place this item after the text you want on the
- line.
- - 'r> Like r, but it also indents the region.
- - 'n> Inserts a newline and indents line.
- - 'o Like '% but leaves the point before the newline.
- - nil. It is ignored.
- - Anything else. It is evaluated and the result is treated as an
- element to be inserted. One additional tag is useful for these
- cases. If an expression returns a list '(l foo bar), the elements
- after 'l will be inserted according to the usual rules. This makes
- it possible to return several elements from one expression."
