31 ;; This library adds some services to Emacs-Lisp editing mode.
33 ;; First, it knows about the header conventions for library packages.
34 ;; One entry point supports generating synopses from a library directory.
35 ;; Another can be used to check for missing headers in library files.
37 ;; Another entry point automatically addresses bug mail to a package's
38 ;; maintainer or author.
40 ;; This file can be loaded by your lisp-mode-hook. Have it (require 'lisp-mnt)
42 ;; This file is an example of the header conventions. Note the following
45 ;; * Header line --- makes it possible to extract a one-line summary of
46 ;; the package's uses automatically for use in library synopses, KWIC
47 ;; indexes and the like.
49 ;; Format is three semicolons, followed by the filename, followed by
50 ;; three dashes, followed by the summary. All fields space-separated.
54 ;; * Copyright line, which looks more or less like this:
56 ;; ;; Copyright (C) 1999, 2000, 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
60 ;; * Author line --- contains the name and net address of at least
61 ;; the principal author.
63 ;; If there are multiple authors, they should be listed on continuation
64 ;; lines led by ;;<TAB>, like this:
66 ;; ;; Author: Ashwin Ram <Ram-Ashwin@cs.yale.edu>
67 ;; ;; Dave Sill <de5@ornl.gov>
68 ;; ;; David Lawrence <tale@pawl.rpi.edu>
69 ;; ;; Noah Friedman <friedman@ai.mit.edu>
70 ;; ;; Joe Wells <jbw@maverick.uswest.com>
71 ;; ;; Dave Brennan <brennan@hal.com>
72 ;; ;; Eric Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>
74 ;; This field may have some special values; notably "FSF", meaning
75 ;; "Free Software Foundation".
77 ;; * Maintainer line --- should be a single name/address as in the Author
78 ;; line, or an address only, or the string "FSF". If there is no maintainer
79 ;; line, the person(s) in the Author field are presumed to be it. The example
80 ;; in this file is mildly bogus because the maintainer line is redundant.
81 ;; The idea behind these two fields is to be able to write a Lisp function
82 ;; that does "send mail to the author" without having to mine the name out by
83 ;; hand. Please be careful about surrounding the network address with <> if
84 ;; there's also a name in the field.
86 ;; * Created line --- optional, gives the original creation date of the
87 ;; file. For historical interest, basically.
89 ;; * Version line --- intended to give the reader a clue if they're looking
90 ;; at a different version of the file than the one they're accustomed to. This
91 ;; may be an RCS or SCCS header.
93 ;; * Adapted-By line --- this is for FSF's internal use. The person named
94 ;; in this field was the one responsible for installing and adapting the
95 ;; package for the distribution. (This file doesn't have one because the
96 ;; author *is* one of the maintainers.)
98 ;; * Keywords line --- used by the finder code (now under construction)
99 ;; for finding Emacs Lisp code related to a topic.
101 ;; * X-Bogus-Bureaucratic-Cruft line --- this is a joke and an example
102 ;; of a comment header. Headers starting with `X-' should never be used
103 ;; for any real purpose; this is the way to safely add random headers
104 ;; without invoking the wrath of any program.
106 ;; * Commentary line --- enables Lisp code to find the developer's and
107 ;; maintainers' explanations of the package internals.
109 ;; * Change log line --- optional, exists to terminate the commentary
110 ;; section and start a change-log part, if one exists.
112 ;; * Code line --- exists so Lisp can know where commentary and/or
113 ;; change-log sections end.
115 ;; * Footer line --- marks end-of-file so it can be distinguished from
116 ;; an expanded formfeed or the results of truncation.
