;;; Commentary:

;; Purpose of this package:
;;   To present a framework for mode-specific buffer indexes.
;;   A buffer index is an alist of names and buffer positions.
;;   For instance all functions in a C-file and their positions.
;;
;;   It is documented in the Emacs Lisp manual.
;;
;; How it works:

;;   A mode-specific function is called to generate the index.  It is
;;   then presented to the user, who can choose from this index.
;;
;;   The package comes with a set of example functions for how to
;;   utilize this package.

;;   There are *examples* for index gathering functions/regular
;;   expressions for C/C++ and Lisp/Emacs Lisp but it is easy to
;;   customize for other modes.  A function for jumping to the chosen
;;   index position is also supplied.

(defvar imenu-generic-expression nil
  "The regex pattern to use for creating a buffer index.

If non-nil this pattern is passed to `imenu--generic-function'
to create a buffer index.

The value should be an alist with elements that look like this:
 (MENU-TITLE REGEXP INDEX)
or like this:
 (MENU-TITLE REGEXP INDEX FUNCTION ARGUMENTS...)
with zero or more ARGUMENTS.  The former format creates a simple element in
the index alist when it matches; the latter creates a special element
of the form  (NAME POSITION-MARKER FUNCTION ARGUMENTS...)
with FUNCTION and ARGUMENTS copied from `imenu-generic-expression'.

MENU-TITLE is a string used as the title for the submenu or nil if the
entries are not nested.

REGEXP is a regexp that should match a construct in the buffer that is
to be displayed in the menu; i.e., function or variable definitions,
etc.  It contains a substring which is the name to appear in the
menu.  See the info section on Regexps for more information.

INDEX points to the substring in REGEXP that contains the name (of the
function, variable or type) that is to appear in the menu.

The variable is buffer-local.

The variable `imenu-case-fold-search' determines whether or not the
regexp matches are case sensitive. and `imenu-syntax-alist' can be
used to alter the syntax table for the search.

For example, see the value of `lisp-imenu-generic-expression' used by
`lisp-mode' and `emacs-lisp-mode' with `imenu-syntax-alist' set
locally to give the characters which normally have \"punctuation\"
syntax \"word\" syntax during matching.")
