25 ;;; Commentary:
27 ;; This file provides routines for getting the "thing" at the location of
28 ;; point, whatever that "thing" happens to be. The "thing" is defined by
29 ;; its beginning and end positions in the buffer.
31 ;; The function bounds-of-thing-at-point finds the beginning and end
32 ;; positions by moving first forward to the end of the "thing", and then
33 ;; backwards to the beginning. By default, it uses the corresponding
34 ;; forward-"thing" operator (eg. forward-word, forward-line).
36 ;; Special cases are allowed for using properties associated with the named
37 ;; "thing":
39 ;; forward-op Function to call to skip forward over a "thing" (or
40 ;; with a negative argument, backward).
42 ;; beginning-op Function to call to skip to the beginning of a "thing".
43 ;; end-op Function to call to skip to the end of a "thing".
45 ;; Reliance on existing operators means that many `things' can be accessed
46 ;; without further code: eg.
47 ;; (thing-at-point 'line)
48 ;; (thing-at-point 'page)
