  23 ;;; Commentary:
  24
  25 ;; Functionality for eliding boilerplate text (normally copyright
  26 ;; notices) in file headers to avoid clutter when you know what it
  27 ;; says.
  28 ;;
  29 ;; `elide-head-headers-to-hide' controls what is elided by the command
  30 ;; `elide-head'.  A buffer-local invisible overlay manages the
  31 ;; elision.
  32
  33 ;; You might add `elide-head' to appropriate major mode hooks or to
  34 ;; `find-file-hook'.  Please do not do this in site init files.  If
  35 ;; you do, information may be hidden from users who don't know it
  36 ;; already.
  37
  38 ;; Note that `hs-minor-mode' will do a similar job by default, but
  39 ;; it's not selective about what leading commentary it hides.
  40
  41 ;; Inspired by jwz's hide-copyleft.el, for which we don't have an
  42 ;; assignment.
