8 (ebib-file-associations): changed default value: paths removed
9 from the programs. start-process searches the user's PATH.

13 * ebib.el (ebib-view-file): new. bound to 'f' in the index
14 buffer. (which means that 'f' is no longer bound to

19 * ebib.el (ebib-add-entry): used ebib-display-entry to insert the
20 new entry in the buffer.
22 2008-04-11 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
24 * ebib.el (ebib-add-entry): inserted a space in the format string
25 that puts the new entry key into the buffer. this way
26 ebib-set-index-highlight doesn't put the end of the highlight at
29 2008-03-26 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
31 * ebib.el (ebib-index-mode): set truncate-lines to t, which works
32 better if ebib-index-dislay-fields is set.
33 (ebib-set-index-highlight): changed so that it highlights the
34 entire line if ebib-index-display-fields is set.
36 2008-03-25 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
38 * ebib.el (ebib-additional-fields): added 'file' to the default

50 2008-03-18 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
52 * ebib.el (ebib-index-display-fields): new.
53 (ebib-display-entry): new.
54 (ebib-fill-index-buffer): modified so as to make use of
56 (ebib-edit-keyname): same.
57 (ebib-set-index-highlight): changed end-of-line into
58 skip-chars-forward because of ebib-index-display-fields.

61 2007-11-15 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
63 * ebib.el (ebib-syntax-table): modified the syntax classes for ()
64 and [] to punctuation character. Not that it really matters, though.
66 2007-11-10 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
68 * ebib.el: removed empty lines after the first line of doc
69 strings. (this is apparently not an Emacs convention...)
70 (ebib-read-entry): changed warning message for duplicate entries.
71 (ebib-read-string): same.
73 2007-11-09 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>

97 * ebib.el (ebib-merge-bibtex-file): added final call to ebib-log,
99 (ebib-find-bibtex-entries): added "Line" to warning message.
100 (ebib-read-string): same.
101 (ebib-read-entry): same.
102 (ebib-log): added save-excursion, so that the ebib log buffer is
103 only current during this function. also modified to no longer set
104 ebib-log-error to 0 unconditionally, instead checks if it's still
105 nil. also modified to use cond.
106 (ebib-match-brace-forward): new. this function handles braces {}
108 (ebib-match-paren-forward): modified to handle parenthesis () and
109 braces {} differently.
110 (ebib-match-quote-forward): modified: logs an error when no
111 closing quote is found, and moves point to the char after the
114 2007-11-07 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
116 * ebib.el (ebib-log-error): new.
117 (ebib-create-buffers): added creating the log buffer.
118 (ebib-find-bibtex-entries): modified to use ebib-log.
119 (ebib-read-string): same.
120 (ebib-read-entry): same.
122 2007-11-06 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
124 * ebib.el (ebib-customize): added doc string.
125 (ebib-log-buffer): new.
127 (ebib-load-bibtex-file): modified to use ebib-log.
128 (ebib-merge-bibtex-file): same.
130 2007-11-02 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
132 * ebib.el (ebib-syntax-table): new.
133 (ebib-load-bibtex-file): modified to use with-syntax-table.
134 (ebib-merge-bibtex-file): same.
136 (ebib-store-multiline-text): check-parens removed.
138 2007-10-31 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
140 * ebib.el (ebib-init): removed test whether ~/.ebibrc exists; use
141 second (optional) argument to load instead.
143 2007-10-29 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
145 * ebib.el (ebib-marked-face): turned into a customisable option.
146 (ebib-fill-index-buffer): modified to use ebib-marked-face as a
147 face, rather than a variable.
148 (ebib-mark-entry): same.
150 2007-10-29 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
152 * ebib.el (ebib-fill-index-buffer): changed mapcar to mapc
153 (prevents compiler warning). fix provided by Leo
154 <sdl.web at gmail.com>.
155 (ebib): added autoload cookie. suggested by Leo
156 <sdl.web at gmail.com>.
157 (ebib-mark-entry): fixed typo: '(face ,ebib-marked-face) to `(face
158 ,ebib-marked-face). fix provided by Leo <sdl.web at gmail.com>.
160 2007-10-22 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
162 * ebib.el (ebib): modified to store the buffer from which ebib is
163 called in ebib-push-buffer, so that it becomes the default for
164 pushing entries. Thanks to Sinisa Pajevic for the suggestion.
166 2007-10-20 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
168 * ebib.el (ebib-redisplay-current-field): modified. now redisplays
169 the entire entry buffer is the current field is crossref. (cutting
170 the value from the crossref field would leave the inherited field
172 (ebib-import): modified to use insert-buffer-substring, rather
173 than buffer-string and insert. this way, there is no need to
174 temporarily store the buffer contents in a variable.
175 (ebib-get-field-highlighted): modified so that it doesn't produce
176 an error if an entry contains a crossref to an entry that does not
178 (ebib-get-local-databases): variable bibfiles removed from the let.
180 2007-10-20 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
182 * ebib.el (ebib-local-bibtex-filenames): renamed from
183 ebib-local-bibtex-filname. this is now a list of strings, rather
184 than a string. thanks to Sinisa Pajevic for pointing out that a
185 \bibliography command can contain more than one .bib file.
186 (ebib-extract-bibfiles): removed.
187 (ebib-get-local-databases): modified to return a list of database
188 filenames. also now uses insert-buffer-substring, rather than a
189 combination of buffer-string and insert.
190 (ebib-insert-bibtex-key): modified so that it can handle multiple
191 bibtex files. this reflects the change to
192 ebib-local-bibtex-filenames.
193 (ebib-entry-summary): same.
195 2007-10-19 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
197 * ebib.el (ebib-push-entry-key): new. pushes the current entry
198 key, or the marked entry keys, to a buffer, using
199 ebib-insertion-strings. thanks to Sinisa Pajevic for suggesting
201 (ebib-key "p"): changed to ebib-push-entry-key.
202 (ebib-key "r"): new. assigned to ebib-edit-preamble.
203 (ebib-prefixed-functions): ebib-push-entry-key added.
204 (ebib-push-buffer): new. holds the name of the last buffer to
205 which an entry was pushed, to present it as default in the next
207 (ebib-insertion-strings): modified default value: 0 added.
209 2007-10-11 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
211 * ebib.el (ebib-get-field-highlighted): modified so as to show
212 field values inherited from a cross-referenced entry.
213 (ebib-crossref-face): new.
214 (ebib-edit-crossref): modified to redisplay the entire entry
215 buffer, not just the current field.
217 2007-07-29 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
219 * ebib.el (ebib-store-multiline-text): added a check to make sure
220 the text in the buffer doesn't contain unbalanced braces.
221 (ebib-filter-to-virtual-db): changed to give more feedback in the
222 minibuffer about what the user is doing.
224 2007-06-26 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
226 * ebib.el (ebib-insert-bibtex-key): changed to show the cite
227 command that the user has selected through the prefix argument.
229 2007-04-26 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
231 * ebib.el (ebib-standard-url-field): doc string modified.
233 2007-04-06 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
235 * ebib.el (ebib-allow-identical-fields): new.
236 (ebib-find-bibtex-fields): modified so as to use
237 ebib-allow-identical-fields.
239 2007-03-30 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
241 * ebib.el (ebib-url-regexp): bug fix: removed \l from default
244 2007-03-29 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
246 * ebib.el: Ebib 1.3.0 released.
248 2007-03-29 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
250 * ebib.el (ebib-index-mode-map): added "u" key.
251 (ebib-url-field): new.
252 (ebib-url-regexp): new.
253 (ebib-browse-url): new.
254 (ebib-call-browser): new.
255 (ebib-entry-mode-map): added "u" key.
256 (ebib-browse-url-in-field): new.
257 (ebib-call-browser-command): new.
259 2007-03-28 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
261 * ebib.el (raw-p): regexp "\".*?\" replaced with
262 "\"[^\"]*?\"". The dot doesn't match \n, so a multiline string
263 enclosed by double quotes was incorrectly recognised as a raw
266 2007-03-27 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
268 * ebib.el (ebib-export-entry): ebib-execute-when
269 removed. ebib-marked-p replaced with ebib-called-with-prefix.
270 (ebib-export-single-entry): added ebib-execute-when.
271 (ebib-export-marked-entries): same.
272 (ebib-prefix-map): new. (actually, this is ebib-semicolon-map
273 reintroduced under a new name.)
274 (ebib-index-mode-map): binding of the prefix key ";" changed to
276 (ebib-key): modified so that if the user redefines a key in
277 ebib-index-mode-map, it checks whether the function is bound in
278 ebib-prefix-map as well, and if so, binds it to the same
279 key. Furthermore, if the user unbinds a key, it is unbound in
280 ebib-prefix-map as well.
281 (ebib-marked-p): removed.
282 (ebib-prefixed-functions): new.
283 (ebib-prefix-key): new.
284 (ebib-key): modified so that it unsets the current prefix key if
285 the user redefines the prefix key with mark-prefix.
286 (ebib-index-mode-map): key bindings no longer done in the defvar
287 definition, but at top level with ebib-key. Using ebib-key has the
288 advantage that ebib-prefix-map is automatically set up correctly
291 2007-03-26 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
293 * ebib.el (ebib-called-with-prefix): new.
294 (ebib-marked-p): new.
295 (ebib-prefix-key): new.
296 (ebib-key): added clause for mark-prefix.
297 (ebib-delete-marked-entries): removed.
298 (ebib-delete-entry): modified to handle the prefix key.
299 (ebib-export-entry): modified to call either of two helper
300 functions, depending on whether it was called with or without
302 (ebib-export-single-entry): new. helper function for
304 (ebib-export-marked-entries): changed into helper function for
306 (ebib-print-database): removed.
307 (ebib-print-marked-entries): removed.
308 (ebib-semicolon-map): removed.
309 (ebib-index-mode-map): binding for L changed to
310 ebib-latex-entries, and binding for P changed to
312 (ebib-print-entries): made interactive and modified to handle
314 (ebib-latex-database): removed.
315 (ebib-latex-marked-entries): removed.
316 (ebib-latex-entries): made interactive and modified to handle
318 (ebib-mark-all): removed.
320 2007-03-25 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
322 * ebib.el (ebib-remove-entry-from-db): modified so that a deleted
323 entry is also deleted from edb-marked-entries if it's there. This
324 avoids problems when the user deletes a marked entry, and also
325 when he renames the entry key of a marked entry.
326 (ebib-delete-marked-entries): no longer sets edb-marked-entries to
327 nil, as the entries are removed one by one by
328 ebib-remove-entry-from-db.
329 (ebib-edit-keyname): modified so that it marks the renamed entry
330 if it was marked before the renaming.
331 (ebib-unmark-all): renamed to ebib-mark-all.
332 (ebib-mark-all): modified so that it marks all entries if there
333 are no marked entries.
334 (ebib-mark-entry): real-db removed from ebib-execute-when.
335 (ebib-export-entry): modified to include the entry name in the
336 messages passed to ebib-export-to-db and ebib-export-to-file.
337 (ebib-export-string): same with string abbreviation.
339 2007-03-24 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
341 * ebib.el (ebib-export-string): modified to make use of
342 ebib-export-to-db and ebib-export-to-file.
343 (ebib-export-all-strings): same.
344 (ebib-export-preamble): same.
345 (ebib-export-marked-entries): new.
346 (ebib-semicolon-map): new key "x" added.
348 (ebib-write-database): rewritten to stop XEmacs from
349 complaining. (See arch log for details.)
350 (ebib-export-to-file): modified documentation string, as it said
351 something about insert-fn that isn't correct.
352 (ebib-execute-helper): added marked-entries.
353 (ebib-delete-marked-entries): modified to use marked-entries.
354 (ebib-export-marked-entries): same.
355 (ebib-delete-marked-entries): added default clause to
357 (ebib-print-entries): new. contains most of the code of former
359 (ebib-print-database): modified to use ebib-print-entries.
360 (ebib-print-marked-entries): new.
361 (define-prefix-command): new keys "P", "L" and "m".
362 (ebib-mark-entry): modified: no longer adds the text properties to
363 the entry key in the database, just in the index buffer.
364 (ebib-fill-index-buffer): modified so that it adds a highlight to
366 (ebib-latex-entries): new. contains most of the code of former
368 (ebib-latex-database): modified to use ebib-latex-entries.
369 (ebib-latex-marked-entries): new.
370 (ebib-unmark-all): new.
372 2007-03-23 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
374 * ebib.el (ebib-export-to-db): new.
375 (ebib-export-to-file): new.
376 (ebib-export-entry): modified to make use of ebib-export-to-db and
379 2007-03-20 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
381 * ebib.el (ebib-edit-field): changed to unconditionally add braces
382 around the text the user enters. Formerly, this was done through
383 from-raw, which meant that if the user typed braces around the
384 text, these would disappear.
386 2007-03-19 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
388 * ebib.el (add-to-listq): added a test for Emacs < 22.
389 (ebib-index-mode-map): removed 'ebib-index-mode-map argument to
390 make-keymap. Emacs officially doesn't even allow it, and in XEmacs

393 (ebib-strings-mode-map): same.
394 (ebib-help-mode-map): same.
395 (ebib-semicolon-map): new.
396 (ebib-index-mode-map): added ";" key.
397 (ebib-remove-entry-from-db): bug fix: would delete the key of the
398 current entry from the keys list, regardless of which entry was
400 (ebib-semicolon-map): added "d" key.
401 (ebib-delete-marked-entries): new.
402 (ebib-entry-mode-map): bindings of C-x b and C-x k changed to
404 (disabled): removed. The predefined function undefined does the
407 2007-03-13 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
409 * ebib.el (ebib-filter-to-virtual-db): removed the check for the
410 `type' field. What was actually meant was the `type*' field, and
411 since this is not in ebib-unique-field-list anyway, the user isn't
412 able to filter on it.
414 2007-03-12 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
416 * ebib.el (ebib-mark-entry): added again for the 1.3 branch.
418 2007-03-12 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>

424 * ebib.el (ebib-mark-entry): removed in preparation for release.
426 2007-03-12 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
428 * ebib.el (ebib-print-database): bugfix: if ebib-print-tempfile is
429 set to "", which is its default value, the body of if-str would
431 (ebib-latex-database): same.
433 2007-03-10 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
435 * ebib.el (ebib-latex-database): new.
436 (ebib-print-preamble): new.
437 (ebib-print-multiline): new.
438 (ebib-latex-preamble): new.
439 (ebib-print-tempfile): new.
440 (ebib-print-database): modified to use ebib-print-preamble,
441 ebib-print-multiline and ebib-print-tempfile.
442 (ebib-latex-database): added real-db to ebib-execute-when.
443 (ebib-timestamp-format): new.
444 (ebib-insert-entry): modified to use format-time-string and ebib-timestamp-format.
445 (ebib-format-entry): same.
446 (ebib-yank-field-contents): renamed from ebib-paste-field-contents.
448 2007-03-08 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
450 * ebib.el (ebib-print-database): new.
452 2007-03-06 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
454 * ebib.el (ebib-index-scroll-down): new. replaces ebib-entry-page-up.
455 (ebib-index-scroll-up): new. replaces ebib-entry-page-down.
456 (ebib-follow-crossref): new.
457 (ebib-index-mode-map): added "F" key.
459 2007-03-02 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
461 * ebib.el (ebib-delete-entry): removed optional argument
462 entry-key, as it wasn't used at all.
464 2007-03-01 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
466 * ebib.el (ebib-paste-field-contents): sets this-command to t if
467 called illegally. that way, a second consecutive call to this
468 function is also recognised as illegal.
470 2007-02-26 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
472 * ebib.el (ebib-paste-field-contents): doc string slightly expanded.
474 2007-02-25 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
476 * ebib.el (ebib-paste-field-contents): added test for crossref field.
477 (ebib-paste-field-contents): modified so that repeatedly calling
478 this command walks around the kill ring, just like C-y/M-y.
480 2007-02-23 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
482 * ebib.el (ebib-move-to-field): bug fix: if the field being moved
483 to is type*, used to search for 'type', causing confusion with an
484 actual type field (e.g. in the entry type incollection.) now just
485 moves to (point-min).
486 (ebib-set-modified): bug fix: the modification flag of the index
487 buffer would be (re)set, regardless of whether it actually holds
488 the database whose modification flag is being (re)set.
490 2007-02-22 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
492 * ebib.el (ebib-execute-when): changed so that it does not produce
493 a spurious and if the envs list of a form only contains one element.
495 2007-02-21 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
497 * ebib.el (ebib-print-filter): changed the argument of interactive
498 from "p" to "P", to obtain the raw prefix argument.
499 (ebib-save-current-database): changed message to error.
500 (ebib-print-filter): added a default-clause to ebib-execute-when,
502 (ebib-prev-entry): same.
503 (ebib-next-entry): same.

524 2007-02-20 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
526 * ebib.el (ebib-filter-to-virtual-db): fixed a bug: the additional
527 fields weren't included in the collection.
528 (ebib-edit-field): spurious progn removed.
529 (ebib-execute-helper): wrapped in an eval-and-compile because
530 otherwise XEmacs complains that the symbol ebib-execute-helper's
531 value as function is void.
532 (safe-write-region): new. GNU Emacs has an optional argument to
533 write-region that can be used to make sure the user doesn't
534 inadvertently overwrite an already existing file. XEmacs does not
536 (ebib-write-database): modified to use safe-write-region.
537 (ebib-insertion-strings): changed the default value from nil to
538 '((1 . "\\cite{%s}")).
540 2007-02-19 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
542 * ebib.el (ebib-index-mode-map): changed binding for
543 ebib-merge-bibtex-file from "m" to "M".
544 (ebib-index-mode-map): added binding "m" for ebib-mark-entry.
545 (ebib-mark-entry): new.
546 (ebib-marked-face): new. needed to accommodate xemacs. there must
547 be a better way to do this... Note that in xemacs, i know of no
548 better way than to use '(face highlight) for both the overlay
549 marking the current entry and to mark selected entries. that means
550 that you cannot tell if the current entry is selected or not. gnu
551 emacs has highlight and :inverse-video. (though the former may be
552 obsoleted at some point?)
553 (ebib-fill-index-buffer): changed to accommodate xemacs. (see
554 comment in the source.)
555 (ebib-index-buffer-help): updated.
556 (ebib-execute-when): new.
557 (ebib-execute-helper): new.

562 a check to make sure that the goal database is not virtual.
563 (ebib-export-preamble): same.
564 (ebib-export-all-strings): added a check to make sure the goal
565 database is not virtual.
566 (ebib-export-string): same.
567 (ebib-prev-entry): modified to use ebib-execute-when.

597 2007-02-19 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
599 * ebib.el (ebib-filter-to-virtual-db): changed the collection to
600 contain strings rather than symbols, because xemacs requires that.
602 2007-02-18 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
604 * ebib.el (add-to-listq): new. introduced mainly because xemacs
605 doesn't allow the fourth argument to add-to-list. (actually, i'm
606 not sure if emacs 21.4 supports it...)
608 2007-02-13 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
610 * ebib.el (ebib-quit): set ebib-strings-highlight to nil.
612 2007-02-11 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
614 * ebib.el (ebib-unique-field-list): new. used for TAB-completion
615 in ebib-filter-to-virtual-db.
616 (ebib-set-entry-types-hash): modified to set
617 ebib-unique-field-list.
618 (ebib-key): modified to keep the cond statement out of the
620 (ebib-create-new-database): modified to take an optional database
621 argument: if supplied, returns a copy of that database.
622 (ebib-index-mode-map): added "&", "|", "~" and "V".
623 (ebib-virtual-db-and): new.
624 (ebib-virtual-db-or): new.

640 (ebib-edit-strings): same.
641 (ebib-edit-preamble): same.
642 (ebib-export-preamble): same.
644 (ebib-fill-entry-buffer): modified so that it does not result in
645 an error if the current entry does not exist. This is needed in
646 case the user deletes an entry from a database that has a virtual
647 database that containe that entry.
648 (ebib-format-entry): put (eq key 'timestamp) first in the and
649 clause. no need to check timestamp and ebib-use-timestamp for any
651 (ebib-write-database): modified so that when a virtual database is
652 written to a file, it doesn't attempt to put an entry that is
653 still in a virtual database's keys-list but has been deleted in
654 the source database into the new database. (note: this is still
655 not the proper way to handle this. we need to find a clean way to
656 handle the consequences of an entry being deleted in a source
659 2007-02-10 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
661 * ebib.el (when-entries): included a declare indent statement.
662 (with-buffer-writable): same.
663 (edb): added fields `name' and `virtual'.
664 (ebib-fill-index-buffer): modified to use edb-name.

666 (ebib-write-database): same.
667 (ebib-search-in-entry): added optional field argument.
669 2007-02-04 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>

675 (ebib-preload): removed.
676 (ebib-additional-fields): removed.
677 (ebib-insert-entry): modified to insert a timestamp, depending on
678 the argument TIMESTAMP and on the setting of EBIB-USE-TIMESTAMP.
679 (ebib-add-entry): modified: it no longer adds a timestamp
680 itself (as it did after the change two days ago) but just requests
681 ebib-insert-entry to do so.
682 (ebib-read-entry): modified to request insertion of a timestamp.
683 (ebib-edit-keyname): modified so as to explicitly NOT insert a
685 (ebib-export-entry): modified so as to request insertion of a
686 timestamp, both when exporting to another database and to a file.
687 (ebib-find-bibtex-entries): modified: timestamp argument
688 added. This argument is simply passed on to ebib-read-entry.

690 into the entries read from file.
691 (ebib-import): modified to request insertion of a timestamp.

693 (ebib-export-entry): fixed a bug that kept ebib-export-filename

713 * ebib.el (ebib-use-timestamp): new.
714 (ebib-add-entry): modified so that it adds a timestamp if
715 ebib-use-timestamp is set.
717 2007-01-23 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
719 * ebib.el (ebib-keys-window-size): new.

742 ebib-set-modified not to be executed.
743 (ebib-set-modified): fixed. save-excursion should not be part of

748 (ebib-compare-xrefs): new.
749 (ebib-format-database): modified to put crossreferencing entries

867 the braces or quotes surrounding the string.
868 (ebib-match-quote-forward): added a check to make sure that when a
869 double quote is found at the search limit, this isn't mistakenly
870 taken as the matching quote if it is escaped by a backslash.
