27 ;;; Commentary:
29 ;; This library adds some services to Emacs-Lisp editing mode.
31 ;; First, it knows about the header conventions for library packages.
32 ;; One entry point supports generating synopses from a library directory.
33 ;; Another can be used to check for missing headers in library files.
35 ;; Another entry point automatically addresses bug mail to a package's
36 ;; maintainer or author.
38 ;; This file can be loaded by your emacs-lisp-mode-hook. Have it
39 ;; (require 'lisp-mnt)
41 ;; This file is an example of the header conventions. Note the following
42 ;; features:
44 ;; * Header line --- makes it possible to extract a one-line summary of
45 ;; the package's uses automatically for use in library synopses, KWIC
46 ;; indexes and the like.
48 ;; Format is three semicolons, followed by the filename, followed by
49 ;; three dashes, followed by the summary. All fields space-separated.
51 ;; * A blank line
53 ;; * Copyright line, which looks more or less like this:
55 ;; ;; Copyright (C) 1999, 2000, 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
57 ;; * A blank line
59 ;; * Author line --- contains the name and net address of at least
60 ;; the principal author.
62 ;; If there are multiple authors, they should be listed on continuation
63 ;; lines led by ;;<TAB>, like this:
65 ;; ;; Author: Ashwin Ram <Ram-Ashwin@cs.yale.edu>
66 ;; ;; Dave Sill <de5@ornl.gov>
67 ;; ;; David Lawrence <tale@pawl.rpi.edu>
68 ;; ;; Noah Friedman <friedman@ai.mit.edu>
69 ;; ;; Joe Wells <jbw@maverick.uswest.com>
70 ;; ;; Dave Brennan <brennan@hal.com>
71 ;; ;; Eric Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>
73 ;; * Maintainer line --- should be a single name/address as in the Author
74 ;; line, or an address only. If there is no maintainer
75 ;; line, the person(s) in the Author field are presumed to be it.
76 ;; The idea behind these two fields is to be able to write a Lisp function
77 ;; that does "send mail to the author" without having to mine the name out by
78 ;; hand. Please be careful about surrounding the network address with <> if
79 ;; there's also a name in the field.
81 ;; * Created line --- optional, gives the original creation date of the
82 ;; file. For historical interest, basically.
84 ;; * Version line --- intended to give the reader a clue if they're looking
85 ;; at a different version of the file than the one they're accustomed to. This
86 ;; may be an RCS or SCCS header.
88 ;; * Adapted-By line --- this was used historically when some files
89 ;; were added to Emacs. The person named in this field installed and
90 ;; (possibly adapted) the package in the Emacs distribution.
92 ;; * Keywords line --- used by the finder code for finding Emacs
93 ;; Lisp code related to a topic.
95 ;; * X-Bogus-Bureaucratic-Cruft line --- this is a joke and an example
96 ;; of a comment header. Headers starting with `X-' should never be used
97 ;; for any real purpose; this is the way to safely add random headers
98 ;; without invoking the wrath of any program.
100 ;; * Commentary line --- enables Lisp code to find the developer's and
101 ;; maintainers' explanations of the package internals.
103 ;; * Change log line --- optional, exists to terminate the commentary
104 ;; section and start a change-log part, if one exists.
106 ;; * Code line --- exists so Lisp can know where commentary and/or
107 ;; change-log sections end.
109 ;; * Footer line --- marks end-of-file so it can be distinguished from
110 ;; an expanded formfeed or the results of truncation.
