28 ;;; Commentary:
30 ;; This file provides a simple way to define powerful templates, or
31 ;; macros, if you wish. It is mainly intended for, but not limited to,
32 ;; other programmers to be used for creating shortcuts for editing
33 ;; certain kind of documents. It was originally written to be used by
34 ;; a HTML editing mode written by Nelson Minar <nelson@santafe.edu>,
35 ;; and his html-helper-mode.el is probably the best example of how to
36 ;; use this program.
38 ;; A template is defined as a list of items to be inserted in the
39 ;; current buffer at point. Some of the items can be simple strings,
40 ;; while other can control formatting or define special points of
41 ;; interest in the inserted text.
43 ;; If a template defines a "point of interest" that point is inserted
44 ;; in a buffer-local list of "points of interest" that the user can
45 ;; jump between with the commands `tempo-backward-mark' and
46 ;; `tempo-forward-mark'. If the template definer provides a prompt for
47 ;; the point, and the variable `tempo-interactive' is non-nil, the
48 ;; user will be prompted for a string to be inserted in the buffer,
49 ;; using the minibuffer.
51 ;; The template can also define one point to be replaced with the
52 ;; current region if the template command is called with a prefix (or
53 ;; a non-nil argument).
55 ;; More flexible templates can be created by including lisp symbols,
56 ;; which will be evaluated as variables, or lists, which will be
57 ;; evaluated as lisp expressions.
59 ;; See the documentation for tempo-define-template for the different
60 ;; items that can be used to define a tempo template.
62 ;; One of the more powerful features of tempo templates are automatic
63 ;; completion. With every template can be assigned a special tag that
64 ;; should be recognized by `tempo-complete-tag' and expanded to the
65 ;; complete template. By default the tags are added to a global list
66 ;; of template tags, and are matched against the last word before
67 ;; point. But if you assign your tags to a specific list, you can also
68 ;; specify another method for matching text in the buffer against the
69 ;; tags. In the HTML mode, for instance, the tags are matched against
70 ;; the text between the last `<' and point.
72 ;; When defining a template named `foo', a symbol named
73 ;; `tempo-template-foo' will be created whose value as a variable will
74 ;; be the template definition, and its function value will be an
75 ;; interactive function that inserts the template at the point.
77 ;; The latest tempo.el distribution can be fetched from
78 ;; ftp.lysator.liu.se in the directory /pub/emacs
80 ;; There is also a WWW page at
81 ;; http://www.lysator.liu.se/~davidk/elisp/ which has some information
83 ;;; Known bugs:
85 ;; If the 'o is the first element in a template, strange things can
86 ;; happen when the template is inserted at the beginning of a
87 ;; line. This is due to strange behaviour in open-line. But it should
88 ;; be easily avoided.
90 ;; The 'o tag is also a problem when including the region. This will
91 ;; be looked into.
93 ;; Clicking mouse-2 in the completion buffer gives strange results.
95 ;; There is a bug in some emacs versions that prevents completion from
96 ;; working. If it doesn't work for you, send me a note indicating your
97 ;; emacs version and your problems.
99 ;;; Contributors:
101 ;; These people have given me important feedback and new ideas for
102 ;; tempo.el. Thanks.

224 "Define a template.
225 This function creates a template variable `tempo-template-NAME' and an
226 interactive function `tempo-template-NAME' that inserts the template
227 at the point. The created function is returned.
229 NAME is a string that contains the name of the template, ELEMENTS is a
230 list of elements in the template, TAG is the tag used for completion,
231 DOCUMENTATION is the documentation string for the insertion command
232 created, and TAGLIST (a symbol) is the tag list that TAG (if provided)
233 should be added to. If TAGLIST is nil and TAG is non-nil, TAG is
234 added to `tempo-tags'.
236 The elements in ELEMENTS can be of several types:
238 - A string: It is sent to the hooks in `tempo-insert-string-functions',
239 and the result is inserted.
240 - The symbol `p': This position is saved in `tempo-marks'.
241 - The symbol `r': If `tempo-insert' is called with ON-REGION non-nil
242 the current region is placed here. Otherwise it works like `p'.
243 - (p PROMPT <NAME> <NOINSERT>): If `tempo-interactive' is non-nil, the
244 user is prompted in the minibuffer with PROMPT for a string to be
245 inserted. If the optional parameter NAME is non-nil, the text is
246 saved for later insertion with the `s' tag. If there already is
247 something saved under NAME that value is used instead and no
248 prompting is made. If NOINSERT is provided and non-nil, nothing is
249 inserted, but text is still saved when a NAME is provided. For
250 clarity, the symbol `noinsert' should be used as argument.
251 - (P PROMPT <NAME> <NOINSERT>): Works just like the previous tag, but
252 forces `tempo-interactive' to be true.
253 - (r PROMPT <NAME> <NOINSERT>): Like the previous tag, but if
254 `tempo-interactive' is nil and `tempo-insert' is called with
255 ON-REGION non-nil, the current region is placed here. This usually
256 happens when you call the template function with a prefix argument.
257 - (s NAME): Inserts text previously read with the (p ..) construct.
258 Finds the insertion saved under NAME and inserts it. Acts like `p'
259 if tempo-interactive is nil.
260 - `&': If there is only whitespace between the line start and point,
261 nothing happens. Otherwise a newline is inserted.
262 - `%': If there is only whitespace between point and end of line,
263 nothing happens. Otherwise a newline is inserted.
264 - `n': Inserts a newline.
265 - `>': The line is indented using `indent-according-to-mode'. Note
266 that you often should place this item after the text you want on
267 the line.
268 - `r>': Like `r', but it also indents the region.
269 - `n>': Inserts a newline and indents line.
270 - `o': Like `%' but leaves the point before the newline.
271 - nil: It is ignored.
272 - Anything else: It is evaluated and the result is treated as an
273 element to be inserted. One additional tag is useful for these
274 cases. If an expression returns a list '(l foo bar), the elements
275 after `l' will be inserted according to the usual rules. This makes
276 it possible to return several elements from one expression."
