176 With optional second argument REGIONS, wrap first interesting point
177 \(`_') in skeleton around next REGIONS words, if REGIONS is positive.
178 If REGIONS is negative, wrap REGIONS preceding interregions into first
179 REGIONS interesting positions (successive `_'s) in skeleton.
181 An interregion is the stretch of text between two contiguous marked
182 points. If you marked A B C [] (where [] is the cursor) in
183 alphabetical order, the 3 interregions are simply the last 3 regions.
184 But if you marked B A [] C, the interregions are B-A, A-[], []-C.
186 The optional third argument STR, if specified, is the value for the
187 variable `str' within the skeleton. When this is non-nil, the
188 interactor gets ignored, and this should be a valid skeleton element.
190 SKELETON is made up as (INTERACTOR ELEMENT ...). INTERACTOR may be nil if
191 not needed, a prompt-string or an expression for complex read functions.
193 If ELEMENT is a string or a character it gets inserted (see also
194 `skeleton-transformation-function'). Other possibilities are:
196 \\n go to next line and indent according to mode, unless
197 this is the first/last element of a skeleton and point
199 _ interesting point, interregion here
200 - interesting point, no interregion interaction, overrides
201 interesting point set by _
202 > indent line (or interregion if > _) according to major mode
203 @ add position to `skeleton-positions'
204 & do next ELEMENT if previous moved point
205 | do next ELEMENT if previous didn't move point
206 -NUM delete NUM preceding characters (see `skeleton-untabify')
207 resume: skipped, continue here if quit is signaled
210 After termination, point will be positioned at the last occurrence of -
211 or at the first occurrence of _ or at the end of the inserted text.
213 Note that \\n as the last element of the skeleton only inserts a
214 newline if not at eol. If you want to unconditionally insert a newline
215 at the end of the skeleton, use \"\\n\" instead. Likewise with \\n
216 as the first element when at bol.
218 Further elements can be defined via `skeleton-further-elements'.
219 ELEMENT may itself be a SKELETON with an INTERACTOR. The user is prompted
220 repeatedly for different inputs. The SKELETON is processed as often as
221 the user enters a non-empty string. \\[keyboard-quit] terminates skeleton insertion, but
222 continues after `resume:' and positions at `_' if any. If INTERACTOR in
223 such a subskeleton is a prompt-string which contains a \".. %s ..\" it is
224 formatted with `skeleton-subprompt'. Such an INTERACTOR may also be a list
225 of strings with the subskeleton being repeated once for each string.
227 Quoted Lisp expressions are evaluated for their side-effects.
228 Other Lisp expressions are evaluated and the value treated as above.
229 Note that expressions may not return t since this implies an
230 endless loop. Modes can define other symbols by locally setting them
231 to any valid skeleton element. The following local variables are
234 str first time: read a string according to INTERACTOR
235 then: insert previously read string once more
236 help help-form during interaction with the user or nil
237 input initial input (string or cons with index) while reading str
238 v1, v2 local variables for memorizing anything you want
240 When done with skeleton, but before going back to `_'-point call
241 `skeleton-end-hook' if that is non-nil."
