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

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