24 ;;; Commentary:
26 ;; Visit a file using a form.
28 ;; === Naming conventions
30 ;; The names of all variables and functions start with 'forms-'.
31 ;; Names which start with 'forms--' are intended for internal use, and
32 ;; should *NOT* be used from the outside.
34 ;; All variables are buffer-local, to enable multiple forms visits
35 ;; simultaneously.
36 ;; Variable `forms--mode-setup' is local to *ALL* buffers, for it
37 ;; controls if forms-mode has been enabled in a buffer.
39 ;; === How it works ===
41 ;; Forms mode means visiting a data file which is supposed to consist
42 ;; of records each containing a number of fields. The records are
43 ;; separated by a newline, the fields are separated by a user-defined
44 ;; field separator (default: TAB).
45 ;; When shown, a record is transferred to an Emacs buffer and
46 ;; presented using a user-defined form. One record is shown at a
47 ;; time.
49 ;; Forms mode is a composite mode. It involves two files, and two
50 ;; buffers.
51 ;; The first file, called the control file, defines the name of the
52 ;; data file and the forms format. This file buffer will be used to
53 ;; present the forms.
54 ;; The second file holds the actual data. The buffer of this file
55 ;; will be buried, for it is never accessed directly.
57 ;; Forms mode is invoked using M-x `forms-find-file' control-file.
58 ;; Alternatively `forms-find-file-other-window' can be used.
60 ;; You may also visit the control file, and switch to forms mode by hand
61 ;; with M-x `forms-mode'.
63 ;; Automatic mode switching is supported if you specify
64 ;; "-*- forms -*-" in the first line of the control file.
65 ;;
66 ;; The control file is visited, evaluated using `eval-current-buffer',
67 ;; and should set at least the following variables:
69 ;; forms-file [string]
70 ;; The name of the data file.
72 ;; forms-number-of-fields [integer]
73 ;; The number of fields in each record.
75 ;; forms-format-list [list]
76 ;; Formatting instructions.
78 ;; `forms-format-list' should be a list, each element containing
80 ;; - a string, e.g. "hello". The string is inserted in the forms
81 ;; "as is".
82 ;;
83 ;; - an integer, denoting a field number.
84 ;; The contents of this field are inserted at this point.
85 ;; Fields are numbered starting with number one.
86 ;;
87 ;; - a function call, e.g. (insert "text").
88 ;; This function call is dynamically evaluated and should return a
89 ;; string. It should *NOT* have side-effects on the forms being
90 ;; constructed. The current fields are available to the function
91 ;; in the variable `forms-fields', they should *NOT* be modified.
92 ;;
93 ;; - a lisp symbol, that must evaluate to one of the above.
95 ;; Optional variables which may be set in the control file:
97 ;; forms-field-sep [string, default TAB]
98 ;; The field separator used to separate the
99 ;; fields in the data file. It may be a string.
101 ;; forms-read-only [bool, default nil]
102 ;; Non-nil means that the data file is visited
103 ;; read-only (view mode) as opposed to edit mode.
104 ;; If no write access to the data file is
105 ;; possible, view mode is enforced.
107 ;; forms-check-number-of-fields [bool, default t]
108 ;; If non-nil, a warning will be issued whenever
109 ;; a record is found that does not have the number
110 ;; of fields specified by `forms-number-of-fields'.
112 ;; forms-multi-line [string, default "^K"]
113 ;; If non-null, the records of the data file may
114 ;; contain fields that can span multiple lines in
115 ;; the form.
116 ;; This variable denotes the separator string
117 ;; to be used for this purpose. Upon display, all
118 ;; occurrences of this string are translated
119 ;; to newlines. Upon storage they are translated
120 ;; back to the separator string.
122 ;; forms-forms-scroll [bool, default nil]
123 ;; Non-nil means: rebind locally the commands that
124 ;; perform `scroll-up' or `scroll-down' to use
125 ;; `forms-next-field' resp. `forms-prev-field'.
127 ;; forms-forms-jump [bool, default nil]
128 ;; Non-nil means: rebind locally the commands
129 ;; `beginning-of-buffer' and `end-of-buffer' to
130 ;; perform, respectively, `forms-first-record' and
131 ;; `forms-last-record' instead.
133 ;; forms-insert-after [bool, default nil]
134 ;; Non-nil means: insertions of new records go after
135 ;; current record, also initial position is at the
136 ;; last record. The default is to insert before the
137 ;; current record and the initial position is at the
138 ;; first record.
140 ;; forms-read-file-filter [symbol, default nil]
141 ;; If not nil: this should be the name of a
142 ;; function that is called after the forms data file
143 ;; has been read. It can be used to transform
144 ;; the contents of the file into a format more suitable
145 ;; for forms-mode processing.
147 ;; forms-write-file-filter [symbol, default nil]
148 ;; If not nil: this should be the name of a
149 ;; function that is called before the forms data file
150 ;; is written (saved) to disk. It can be used to undo
151 ;; the effects of `forms-read-file-filter', if any.
153 ;; forms-new-record-filter [symbol, default nil]
154 ;; If not nil: this should be the name of a
155 ;; function that is called when a new
156 ;; record is created. It can be used to fill in
157 ;; the new record with default fields, for example.
159 ;; forms-modified-record-filter [symbol, default nil]
160 ;; If not nil: this should be the name of a
161 ;; function that is called when a record has
162 ;; been modified. It is called after the fields
163 ;; are parsed. It can be used to register
164 ;; modification dates, for example.
166 ;; forms-use-text-properties [bool, see text for default]
167 ;; This variable controls if forms mode should use
168 ;; text properties to protect the form text from being
169 ;; modified (using text-property `read-only').
170 ;; Also, the read-write fields are shown using a
171 ;; distinct face, if possible.
172 ;; As of emacs 19.29, the `intangible' text property
173 ;; is used to prevent moving into read-only fields.
174 ;; This variable defaults to t if running Emacs 19 or
175 ;; later with text properties.
176 ;; The default face to show read-write fields is
177 ;; copied from face `region'.
179 ;; forms-ro-face [symbol, default 'default]
180 ;; This is the face that is used to show
181 ;; read-only text on the screen. If used, this
182 ;; variable should be set to a symbol that is a
183 ;; valid face.
184 ;; E.g.
185 ;; (make-face 'my-face)
186 ;; (setq forms-ro-face 'my-face)
188 ;; forms-rw-face [symbol, default 'region]
189 ;; This is the face that is used to show
190 ;; read-write text on the screen.
192 ;; After evaluating the control file, its buffer is cleared and used
193 ;; for further processing.
194 ;; The data file (as designated by `forms-file') is visited in a buffer
195 ;; `forms--file-buffer' which normally will not be shown.
196 ;; Great malfunctioning may be expected if this file/buffer is modified
197 ;; outside of this package while it is being visited!
199 ;; Normal operation is to transfer one line (record) from the data file,
200 ;; split it into fields (into `forms--the-record-list'), and display it
201 ;; using the specs in `forms-format-list'.
202 ;; A format routine `forms--format' is built upon startup to format
203 ;; the records according to `forms-format-list'.
205 ;; When a form is changed the record is updated as soon as this form
206 ;; is left. The contents of the form are parsed using information
207 ;; obtained from `forms-format-list', and the fields which are
208 ;; deduced from the form are modified. Fields not shown on the forms
209 ;; retain their original values. The newly formed record then
210 ;; replaces the contents of the old record in `forms--file-buffer'.
211 ;; A parse routine `forms--parser' is built upon startup to parse
212 ;; the records.
214 ;; Two exit functions exist: `forms-exit' and `forms-exit-no-save'.
215 ;; `forms-exit' saves the data to the file, if modified.
216 ;; `forms-exit-no-save' does not. However, if `forms-exit-no-save'
217 ;; is executed and the file buffer has been modified, Emacs will ask
218 ;; questions anyway.
220 ;; Other functions provided by forms mode are:
222 ;; paging (forward, backward) by record
223 ;; jumping (first, last, random number)
224 ;; searching
225 ;; creating and deleting records
226 ;; reverting the form (NOT the file buffer)
227 ;; switching edit <-> view mode v.v.
228 ;; jumping from field to field
230 ;; As a documented side-effect: jumping to the last record in the
231 ;; file (using forms-last-record) will adjust forms--total-records if
232 ;; needed.
234 ;; The forms buffer can be in one of two modes: edit mode or view
235 ;; mode. View mode is a read-only mode, whereby you cannot modify the
236 ;; contents of the buffer.
238 ;; Edit mode commands:
240 ;; TAB forms-next-field
241 ;; \C-c TAB forms-next-field
242 ;; \C-c < forms-first-record
243 ;; \C-c > forms-last-record
244 ;; \C-c ? describe-mode
245 ;; \C-c \C-k forms-delete-record
246 ;; \C-c \C-q forms-toggle-read-only
247 ;; \C-c \C-o forms-insert-record
248 ;; \C-c \C-l forms-jump-record
249 ;; \C-c \C-n forms-next-record
250 ;; \C-c \C-p forms-prev-record
251 ;; \C-c \C-r forms-search-backward
252 ;; \C-c \C-s forms-search-forward
253 ;; \C-c \C-x forms-exit
255 ;; Read-only mode commands:
257 ;; SPC forms-next-record
258 ;; DEL forms-prev-record
259 ;; ? describe-mode
260 ;; \C-q forms-toggle-read-only
261 ;; l forms-jump-record
262 ;; n forms-next-record
263 ;; p forms-prev-record
264 ;; r forms-search-backward
265 ;; s forms-search-forward
266 ;; x forms-exit
268 ;; Of course, it is also possible to use the \C-c prefix to obtain the
269 ;; same command keys as in edit mode.
271 ;; The following bindings are available, independent of the mode:
273 ;; [next] forms-next-record
274 ;; [prior] forms-prev-record
275 ;; [begin] forms-first-record
276 ;; [end] forms-last-record
277 ;; [S-TAB] forms-prev-field
278 ;; [backtab] forms-prev-field
280 ;; For convenience, TAB is always bound to `forms-next-field', so you
281 ;; don't need the C-c prefix for this command.
283 ;; As mentioned above (see `forms-forms-scroll' and `forms-forms-jump'),
284 ;; the bindings of standard functions `scroll-up', `scroll-down',
285 ;; `beginning-of-buffer' and `end-of-buffer' can be locally replaced with
286 ;; forms mode functions next/prev record and first/last
287 ;; record.
289 ;; `local-write-file-hooks' is defined to save the actual data file
290 ;; instead of the buffer data, `revert-file-hook' is defined to
291 ;; revert a forms to original.
