244 \(`_') in skeleton around next REGIONS words, if REGIONS is positive.
245 If REGIONS is negative, wrap REGIONS preceding interregions into first
246 REGIONS interesting positions \(successive `_'s) in skeleton.
248 An interregion is the stretch of text between two contiguous marked
249 points. If you marked A B C [] (where [] is the cursor) in
250 alphabetical order, the 3 interregions are simply the last 3 regions.
251 But if you marked B A [] C, the interregions are B-A, A-[], []-C.
253 The optional third argument STR, if specified, is the value for the
254 variable `str' within the skeleton. When this is non-nil, the
255 interactor gets ignored, and this should be a valid skeleton element.
257 SKELETON is made up as (INTERACTOR ELEMENT ...). INTERACTOR may be nil if
258 not needed, a prompt-string or an expression for complex read functions.
260 If ELEMENT is a string or a character it gets inserted (see also
261 `skeleton-transformation'). Other possibilities are:
263 \\n go to next line and indent according to mode
264 _ interesting point, interregion here
265 > indent line (or interregion if > _) according to major mode
266 @ add position to `skeleton-positions'
267 & do next ELEMENT iff previous moved point
268 | do next ELEMENT iff previous didn't move point
269 -num delete num preceding characters (see `skeleton-untabify')
270 resume: skipped, continue here if quit is signaled
273 After termination, point will be positioned at the first occurrence
274 of _ or @ or at the end of the inserted text.
276 Further elements can be defined via `skeleton-further-elements'. ELEMENT may
277 itself be a SKELETON with an INTERACTOR. The user is prompted repeatedly for
278 different inputs. The SKELETON is processed as often as the user enters a
279 non-empty string. \\[keyboard-quit] terminates skeleton insertion, but
280 continues after `resume:' and positions at `_' if any. If INTERACTOR in such
281 a subskeleton is a prompt-string which contains a \".. %s ..\" it is
282 formatted with `skeleton-subprompt'. Such an INTERACTOR may also be a list of
283 strings with the subskeleton being repeated once for each string.
285 Quoted Lisp expressions are evaluated for their side-effects.
286 Other Lisp expressions are evaluated and the value treated as above.
287 Note that expressions may not return `t' since this implies an
288 endless loop. Modes can define other symbols by locally setting them
289 to any valid skeleton element. The following local variables are
292 str first time: read a string according to INTERACTOR
293 then: insert previously read string once more
294 help help-form during interaction with the user or `nil'
295 input initial input (string or cons with index) while reading str
296 v1, v2 local variables for memorizing anything you want
298 When done with skeleton, but before going back to `_'-point call
299 `skeleton-end-hook' if that is non-`nil'."
