   9 The following is a list of hook variables that let you provide
  10 functions to be called from within Emacs on suitable occasions.
  11
  12 Most of these variables have names ending with @samp{-hook}.  They are
  13 @dfn{normal hooks}, run by means of @code{run-hooks}.  The value of such
  14 a hook is a list of functions; the functions are called with no
  15 arguments and their values are completely ignored.  The recommended way
  16 to put a new function on such a hook is to call @code{add-hook}.
  17 @xref{Hooks}, for more information about using hooks.
  18
  19 The variables whose names end in @samp{-hooks} or @samp{-functions} are
  20 usually @dfn{abnormal hooks}; their values are lists of functions, but
  21 these functions are called in a special way (they are passed arguments,
  22 or their values are used).  A few of these variables are actually normal
  23 hooks which were named before we established the convention that normal
  24 hooks' names should end in @samp{-hook}.
  25
  26 The variables whose names end in @samp{-function} have single functions
  27 as their values.  (In older Emacs versions, some of these variables had
  28 names ending in @samp{-hook} even though they were not normal hooks;
  29 however, we have renamed all of those.)
  30
  31 @c !!! need  xref  to where each hook is documented or else document it
  32 @c by specifying what is expected, and when it is called relative to
  33 @c mode initialization.
