23 ;;; Commentary:
25 ;; This package allows arbitrary undoing in Gnus buffers. As all the
26 ;; Gnus buffers aren't very text-oriented (what is in the buffers is
27 ;; just some arbitrary representation of the actual data), normal Emacs
28 ;; undoing doesn't work at all for Gnus.
30 ;; This package works by letting Gnus register functions for reversing
31 ;; actions, and then calling these functions when the user pushes the
32 ;; `undo' key. As with normal `undo', there it is possible to set
33 ;; undo boundaries and so on.
35 ;; Internally, the undo sequence is represented by the
36 ;; `gnus-undo-actions' list, where each element is a list of functions
37 ;; to be called, in sequence, to undo some action. (An "action" is a
38 ;; collection of functions.)
40 ;; For instance, a function for killing a group will call
41 ;; `gnus-undo-register' with a function that un-kills the group. This
42 ;; package will put that function into an action.
