24 ;;; Commentary:
26 ;; This file defines Tabulated List mode, a generic major mode for
27 ;; displaying lists of tabulated data, intended for other major modes
28 ;; to inherit from. It provides several utility routines, e.g. for
29 ;; pretty-printing lines of tabulated data to fit into the appropriate
30 ;; columns.
32 ;; For usage information, see the documentation of `tabulated-list-mode'.
34 ;; This package originated from Tom Tromey's Package Menu mode,
35 ;; extended and generalized to be used by other modes.
37 ;;; Code:
39 ;; The reason `tabulated-list-format' and other variables are
40 ;; permanent-local is to make it convenient to switch to a different
41 ;; major mode, switch back, and have the original Tabulated List data
42 ;; still valid. See, for example, ebuff-menu.el.

45 "The format of the current Tabulated List mode buffer.
46 This should be a vector of elements (NAME WIDTH SORT . PROPS),
47 where:
48 - NAME is a string describing the column.
49 This is the label for the column in the header line.
50 Different columns must have non-`equal' names.
51 - WIDTH is the width to reserve for the column.
52 For the final element, its numerical value is ignored.
53 - SORT specifies how to sort entries by this column.
54 If nil, this column cannot be used for sorting.
55 If t, sort by comparing the string value printed in the column.
56 Otherwise, it should be a predicate function suitable for
57 `sort', accepting arguments with the same form as the elements
58 of `tabulated-list-entries'.
59 - PROPS is a plist of additional column properties.
60 Currently supported properties are:
61 - `:right-align': If non-nil, the column should be right-aligned.
62 - `:pad-right': Number of additional padding spaces to the
63 right of the column (defaults to 1 if omitted).")

76 rearranging the list. Comparison is done with `equal'.

79 specified in `tabulated-list-format'. A descriptor is either
80 a string, which is printed as-is, or a list (LABEL . PROPS),

492 This mode is usually not used directly; instead, other major
493 modes are derived from it, using `define-derived-mode'.
495 In this major mode, the buffer is divided into multiple columns,
496 which are labeled using the header line. Each non-empty line
497 belongs to one \"entry\", and the entries can be sorted according
498 to their column values.
500 An inheriting mode should usually do the following in their body:
502 - Set `tabulated-list-format', specifying the column format.
503 - Set `tabulated-list-revert-hook', if the buffer contents need
504 to be specially recomputed prior to `revert-buffer'.
505 - Maybe set a `tabulated-list-entries' function (see below).
506 - Maybe set `tabulated-list-printer' (see below).
507 - Maybe set `tabulated-list-padding'.
508 - Call `tabulated-list-init-header' to initialize `header-line-format'
509 according to `tabulated-list-format'.
511 An inheriting mode is usually accompanied by a \"list-FOO\"
512 command (e.g. `list-packages', `list-processes'). This command
513 creates or switches to a buffer and enables the major mode in
514 that buffer. If `tabulated-list-entries' is not a function, the
515 command should initialize it to a list of entries for displaying.
516 Finally, it should call `tabulated-list-print'.
518 `tabulated-list-print' calls the printer function specified by
519 `tabulated-list-printer', once for each entry. The default
520 printer is `tabulated-list-print-entry', but a mode that keeps
521 data in an ewoc may instead specify a printer function (e.g., one
522 that calls `ewoc-enter-last'), with `tabulated-list-print-entry'
523 as the ewoc pretty-printer."
